Hi everyone! Its my first attempt to SMF and simple portal and i cant really figure how simple portal works. I have installed it but how do i really get the nav bars of portal updates etc?

Thanks

Simple Portal is configuered from the 'SPortal Admin' section in the admin panel. From there you should do these things:
1) Enable the "Enable SimplePortal:" setting.
2) Enable the "Enable left side blocks:" setting, if you want left blocks enabled.
3) Enable the "Enable right side blocks:" setting, if you want right blocks enabled.
4) Click on 'Add Block' and start adding the blocks you want!

At the moment we don't have a guide or proper documentation for SimplePortal, although it is being worked on, and the new version of SimplePortal (soon to be released) includes many help pop-ups to explain settings and pages.

That is because SimplePortal doesn't include a Greek translation, so there are no language strings for those pages to use. Until we get a Greek translation (this will only happen if we find someone to translate it), you will have to swap your language to english while configuering the SimplePortal settings. You can do this for yourself (as opposed to changing it for everybody on your forum) in your 'Profile' area by changing the 'Preferred Language' setting under 'Account Settings'.

We actually now have a Greek Translation on our downloads page, if you are still interested.

Marking this as solved.
