Hey there guys I really want to make a cool list using simple portal's custom HTML, but i don't know how to, I've seen all these forums on how they have a cool list of stuff that has been added, and I want to do the same?

Could you guys help me out here please . My link to my forum is in my profile fields , if you want to help me out with it .

Rush.

You could do this a SP custom bbc block.  (Admin > Simpleportal > Blocks > Add Block) Create a new custom bbc block and you then get all the usual forum formatting commands nicely displayed including a listing.

You can similarly create yourself a SP custom html block and format your list commands using html.  Basic html list commands are described in loads of places on the net such as http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_lists.asp

But is a portal block in fact the best place for something like this?  If you are wanting some sort of changelog, for you and your members to see, I'd just be creating a forum thread somewhere, maybe locked for everyone but which you as an admin can update or modify that post with what you have done.  Alternatively you could create a new SP Page (similar to how you can do a block) which you update from time to time, but you'd then have the complication of linking to that SP page from a new menu link or something (there are other threads on here and SMF on how to adapt the SMF
menus).

Okay will try the HTML list's.

So how do URL link stuff through list's? I want to do something like this.

Code Select Expand

[url=]test [/url]

In HTML.

In html a link looks like

Code Select Expand

<a href="url">Link text</a>

so a link to the simple portal site might look like

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://www.simpleportal.net">SimplePortal</a>

I learn a lot of my basic html, css and similar syntax by a quick google

so taking your list one step further:

Code Select Expand


<ul>
<li><a href="url">Link text</a> </li>
<li><a href="url">Link text</a> </li>
</ul>
