Admin > Simpleportal> Pages > Add Page

There are two ways of adding the page to the portal.

As a link in a block or by using another mod which adds custom tabs to the menubar.

On my forum i have used both ways.

Although I have used SP for approx 2 years I only started using the pages feature earlier this year.

 CUSTOM TAB MODS (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;basic_search=custom+tab)

I would avoid the Bakers Dozen mod however.

Regarding the second request that is out of my league and more for the folks at sm.org

You could try  This One (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2657)

I would also look at the possibility of using an html block for links.

If you have a look at my forum @ www.miltonkeynesaware.co.cc on the portal you will see a block named Community.

These are all links made using Pages.

The Sponsors menutab is also made using a Page and a Custom Tab mod.

O.. and
Is it possible to delete that ''Welcome to simple portal'' topic at the first page?

I just cant find  a way around that -__-

Post by: Old Fossil on September 04, 2011, 08:08:29 AM
Believe it or not the welcome topic is just another block.

You don't have to use it.

I did at first in fact I used it as a guide when I first started.

Post by: Old Fossil on September 04, 2011, 08:18:46 AM
Ya mean the Custom Tab mod?

Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 04, 2011, 08:31:50 AM
Yes...   
The one you recommended.
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Old Fossil on September 04, 2011, 08:40:32 AM
Although more of an sm.org matter I will do what I can.

Once you download the mod install via the forums package manager.

The mod won't install straight away ( may have test failed on some file meaning a manual edit is required).

Once the edits are done below the mod list is an advanced link.

You will need to emulate the version.

Have a read through the mods topic too.

Ye ok! Thats nice... Works, but could you explain the usage of this mod?

Me ether too.

I would like to add a team page on the forum without using the staff block.

Sorry about jumping in your topic for this  :(
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Old Fossil on September 04, 2011, 08:49:33 PM
@Paradoxale

You would do better to make a post over on sm.org regarding this.

@Shadow Queen

The team page is an entirely different concept.

There is a Team page mod out there somewhere.
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Shadow Queen on September 04, 2011, 08:58:52 PM
Yes, I know the mod is out there for the team page. But I don't want the mod for the team page. I thought SimplePortal can do that.

But I am looking at that site he/her post in this topic.

Staff Page (http://lastmelongaming.com/index.php?page=roster)

Because looking at the staff page on that site. It did give me a idea about the pages with SimplePortal. With that mod you post on here.

Put a page up for every team member and some info about them. I mean the main staff.

But Also I would like to add some site to the other button to go to different sites. If I wanna do to that.

That part i really don't understand at all


Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Old Fossil on September 04, 2011, 09:11:34 PM
Shadow can you please start a new topic regarding your question.
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Shadow Queen on September 04, 2011, 09:14:39 PM
Sure Will,

Again I'm sorry about jumping in your topic like this!  :(
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 05, 2011, 04:29:03 AM
@ Shadow.... No problem....     Its good having more people with the problem, maybe somone finaly will answer my question.

@ Brack1,   I just asked them the 3rd time, they still say i have to ask at your forum.. Thats why im still here, and asking the same quesion. And i though you used this mod?...  Could you tell us how it works?

thx
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Shadow Queen on September 05, 2011, 04:43:11 AM
Thankds. I will help you out with this problem best way as I can. I was doing some testing about this problem we are having right now. I know how to work the pages for sp amd that mod. When I get up or get online with my computer. I will post back on here step by step how too. But i still cant figuer it out about adding diffent sites to the mod. im still testing it out. i just know how to add pages for sp to the mod. i am willing to help you.  if that is ok with you?
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 05, 2011, 05:39:30 AM
Well, i havent really tested it. I took a look at it, and i said no. But when i think about it, maybe you can use it this way: Make pages with simpleportal, at the pages list each of them have a ID, Or even url so you can add the buttons to. Idk if this is the right way, but it might be this way. Im actually asking the owner of the site lastmelongaming.com who did it! And im goign to come back if i find a solution.

Brack1: Please tell us how to do this, if you know! You said so..... :D
(The other support team, still says to ask here....)

Thx
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Old Fossil on September 05, 2011, 11:43:14 AM
Once the page is ready with whatever you want  the page to be about save the page so it is listed on the page list within the admin area.

The page ID is then included in the address eg:www.yourdomain.com/index.php/page,page???.html

Hope this helps.
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 05, 2011, 12:17:49 PM
Thats exactly it! It works... right.... But....
Another problem is the freaking themes....... -___________- ... Some of them dont allow custom logos, some of them dont have navigation bar... some of them are not compitable.. ARGH  and theyre soo niceeee -__-...
But thx for help! Great!  :D


Ps...   Is there a way to make own template without doing the coding.... im tooo tired for these things...  Like an theme builder GUI or something :d ? 
Or could u recommend a nice .. NICE..  theme? Thx...... and sry for posting it here... but i just have to ask!
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: Old Fossil on September 05, 2011, 12:34:05 PM
I'm not a coder sorry.

Most of my pages were trial and error.

The bbc ones were easier as they are mainly images  >:-D

I only use one theme for that reason.
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 05, 2011, 12:43:41 PM

hello paradoxale,
So many questions! Did you solve the original one -- how to add buttons for your pages? I know the mod's author is a SimplePortal user, so the mod's support topic may be a very good one for help with that.
But now, I've lost track of your new question. Is it about menu buttons, or is it about themes?
It seems like a new question, one deserving of its own topic. Is that right?
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 07, 2011, 08:59:56 AM
No its Not, its still about adding pages. I added these buttons so i can add pages, but these buttons are only visible for admins noone else.
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: AngelinaBelle on September 07, 2011, 02:52:31 PM
1) You have figured out how to create pages (your original question)?
If not, please post your questions here
2) You have questions about the navigation button mod written by JohnCCCCCC?
If so, I recommend the support thread for that mod. http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=392714.300

3) you have additional questions about using SimplePortal?
If so, I recommend starting a new support topic.  I am sorry -- I get so confused with so many questions in one topic.  I do not think I give good support when I am confused.

Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 08, 2011, 02:18:33 AM
Ohh ok. Im going to ask the mod creator first. Sorry for my confusing topic.. xD
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: paradoxale on September 08, 2011, 12:33:56 PM
Found out: Solution is in the members tab, permission, guests and it will show up at the bottom of the page as custom buttons show/hide.

Thx For all help.
Title: Re: How to add pages ?
Post by: [SiNaN] on September 09, 2011, 03:37:51 AM
Cool. I'm marking this as solved. If you experience any other issues, create a new topic.
