Topic: Setting Front Page to go directly to forum?

[Cholo]

Hey everyone - thanks for the great mod.  I'm checking it out as an alternative to TinyPortal.  I just installed 2.0.4 on a 1.1.6 forum and am wondering if I can turn the front page off, so that users go directly to the forum, eliminating the "Home" button ? 

My apologies in advance if I'm just being dense and have overlooked a simple link or button.  Thanks very much.

Actually there is no option to do such at the moment. However that would make a great addition, as a matter of fact..

[Cholo]

lol.  Well thanks very much anyway.

If you did that on the current version, you would negate the effects of the portal altogether.

[Cholo]

Yeah, I can turn the portal on, but if I don't enable any blocks then I have a "Home" and "forum" link that both go right to the forum.  With TP, you can still use blocks but just go straight to the forum w/out a "Home" page.  Some people like to go w/that setup.

That should be possible the with forum integration features that are going to be added to SimplePortal 2.1.

For now, I have marked this topic as solved.

Looking forward to what you guys have coming.

Cholo,
The features discussed in this topic have now all been added to SimplePortal 2.1.x, you can download the latest version 2.1.1 from our Downloads page.

Excellent! Will be checking it out.  Thanks for letting me know.

I came here with this question too (turning off the portal but keeping the blocks). It looks like if you uncheck 'enable portal' the blocks do remain.

@Cholo,
Did you manage to get it to work? Is this issue solved?

@jak6868,
That is correct.
