Topic: Is it Possible...

[tlbsupport]

Greetings, am using 2.0RC1-1 and SP2.2.2

Is it possible with the different mods to have a custom page with standard headers and footers and in the middle a grid of say 3*3 as a links page to associated sites?
Am using the SP as a front page to my SMF.

Also, how can i use a block that will integrate to my AJAX shoutbox/chatroom on the portal, i think i could use a custom htlm however im totaly usless at that sort of thing...

who can come to my rescue..

Any btw, thanks for a great product, i tried other portal/cms options and SP is by far the most flexable and also easy to configure.

Cheers in advance

Custom pages issue:
You should be able to add a custom page, and then add any standard blocks that you want, the links below will help you to do that.

For adding custom pages, see the post below:
http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=1944.msg13106#msg13106

For showing SimplePortal blocks on certain pages (ie. custom pages), see the topic below:
http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=2501.0

For the shoutbox:
What code do you use for your AJAX shoutbox/chatroom? If its html then you will need a Custom HTML block, if its PHP then you will need a custom PHP block. I would suggest that you try adding the code to the correct one, to see if it works first. Then if you need help adjusting it then you could try the Custom Coding board.

Sorry about the long wait.

Moved this topic to the Custom Coding board.

I haven't specifically worked with the Chat script you are trying to integration into SMF and SP. Could you please post the error that is being shown, a link to your site, or a screenshot of the issue?
