Hi,
First think, thank you guys for this great tool (SiNaN, ???1031...).
I just started to use SPortal and I like very much.
I would be nice if someone of the dev team created a custom block for showing a category list SPortal, and another one for showing a category list for the new mod SMF Article.
Why I said Sportal and SMF Article because someone may want to use SPortal as a homepage module only and SMF Article for and independant Article database (I'm thinking of a recipes website).
Thanks again for bringing SPortal to our world.

Okey! here it is:
This code will show the list of categories that you have if you are using SMF Articles (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1354)
Add a PHP block with this code:
global $scripturl, $db_prefix;
$dbresult = db_query("
SELECT a.ID_CAT, a.title
FROM {$db_prefix}articles_cat as a
WHERE ID_PARENT = 0
ORDER BY roworder ASC", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$smf_articles_categories = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($dbresult)){
$smf_articles_categories[] = $row;
}
mysql_free_result($dbresult);
echo '<div>';
foreach($smf_articles_categories as $smf_articles_category){
echo '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=articles;cat=' . $smf_articles_category['ID_CAT'] . '">' . $smf_articles_category['title'] . '</a><br />';
}
echo '</div>';
Note: This shows only top categories.
I hope this small work it helps someone!
Thanks SP team!
