SMF Articles Integration
« on: October 31, 2008, 10:02:03 PM »
It would be great if Simple Portals Articles integrates with SMF Articles Mod. Since its a complete Articles Directory Mod, Simple Portal will be a complete addition if they introduced this integration

Articles are one of the features which SimplePortal is looking at improving. I supose that having some sort of integration with the Articles mod should be possible. :)

No and I doubt there will be any. You can display your SMF Articles mod article on your portal using Custom PHP blocks. SimplePortal will have the articles module as developed as SMF Articles mod.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

This seems to contradict this post http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=1727.msg12854#msg12854

Anybody know how to cerate a basic PHP block that will show 5 random articles from SMF Articles while the SP Articles section is developed?

willerby,
The developers will decide which blocks/features are going to be added to SimplePortal. While a customizer might make a block for that mod, it may not actually get included in the main package because it conflicts with the area that SimplePortal is moving into.

I am making a block for the SMF Articles Mod which has the same template as the normal SimplePortal articles, so they will appear the same. Whether or not that is included in the next version of SP remains to be seen.

Also, even if there is a block added for the SMF Articles Mod, it is very unlikely that it will be integrated any more into the SP Articles areas.

Thanks LHVWB, I guess I didn't appreciate the difference between a block and an integrated standard block within SP.

I'd like to switch to SP Articles but currently have over 200 complex SMF articles with links, images and loads of BBCode formatting. If I could find an easy way of just shifting them across it would make life a lot easier. Not a huge fan of SMF Articles but permission based content is a part of my site.

Just need to be patient I guess!

EDIT: Managed to find a way to select random articles - see http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=1727.msg13017#msg13017
