Hello!! :)
I'm trying to create some users-blogs with SP... I've thought to create a new board called "BLOGS" and some subdir as the number of blogs I need..

Then I'd like to show them (as articles) also in another "action"... but I want the same "look" of these (activable - I think - only for the portal, not for custom actions):


...not these (selectable as a block):


Can you help me?
Thanks in advance!!! ;)

Is this the same issue as the topic below?

You seem to be using the Articles feature, not blogs here. I would recommend that you try out the blog mod first, to see if that fits your need, rather than using a whole bunch of subboards.

No, it's not the same thing... I've renounced to use the "Blog" block, I don't want to install another mod...

So I'm trying to use the built-in SP features... I thought to create a new Board called "Blog" and so many subdirs as the blogs I need...
Then I want to deny the access to all except the rispective blogger and show the topics as blog-posts with the "Articles" system...

The problem is that "Articles" works (if I'm not wrong) only for the portal home page (I can't - for example - integrate 'em in a custom ?action=blogs) and only for one board I have to select... I can't choose which boards for which articles "block"... don't know if I explained properly (and excuse me for my english...  :-[).

In a few words, I need to choose which articles show, not from ONE board. Is it possible?

And then I'd like also to show the Articles not only in the portal "home page", also in a custom action (as for "normal" blocks). But I can't see any option to do this... :(

Thanks in advance.. :)

Nathaniel

Okay, follow these steps:
1) Disable/Delete the Board News Block from your admin area.
2) Enable the Articles feature from the SimplePortal configuration area in your admin panel.
3) Add some topics as articles.

The problem is that I can't add topics only from one board, but I need to have some topics from one board and some from others...

Nathaniel

If you have followed those steps, then you can add any topics you like as articles.

If you want an entire board to be added as articles (as well as from other boards), then add them manually, or do it faster via the Add Articles area in the admin panel.

You're right!! Excuse me!! I'm blind!! :P

And, I've installed SP 2.3, is it possibile to have articles in a specific (new) page?

Nathaniel

Sure is. Put the code below into a Custom PHP page:
global $sourcedir, $modSettings;

require_once($sourcedir . '/PortalArticles.php');
$modSettings['articleactive'] = true;
sportal_articles();
template_articles();


You may want to set the body and title to not show.
