Title: Newbie question
Post by: nuberry on February 22, 2014, 06:00:00 AM

hi all
excuse my ignorance, forums are new to me ,  so I ask this question with sincerity . Can simple portal create pages similar to  idesign 360. Just love the clean look . Suppose that gives my age away. Basically need to create a nice home page and some article pages and obviously the forum, maybe if possible with drop down menu as in idesign and smf packs.
any assistance will be appreciated
many thanks
andrew

I do not know how idesign makes pages (seems only for registered or paid  access) but Simple Portal is ... simple.
You also have a choice of html or bbcode, easy to insert blocks and use custom access permission.
All you have to do is set the page ID (end of url).
I would try it and compare:
Admin menu>Simple Portal> Page> Add Page.

For menus I recommend SMF mod - Menue Editor Lite:

Just put in the Simple Portal page url.

The next version of Simple Portal might have its own menu editor but the SMF one is good.
