Hello, This is a simple block I put together so I could have a "pic of the moment" thing on my portal. It randomly pulls an image from my Coppermine gallery and displays it in the block. I came across the Coppermine part of the code on the forum there. First, make a file called get_photo.p...

Hello all, It was suggested that I share what I did to get nickvergessen's NV Recent Topics mod to work in a center block. Fortunately that mod includes instructions to display the recent topics on any page, so I didn't have to do much to adapt it to work on a portal. This is what I did though: Firs...

Yeah, I just switched to a different mod. I couldn't figure out what the problem was, and no one was forthcoming with any help. So I went a different route.

I'll make a post over there. I'm going to play with a few things first though to get it just right.

So yeah, I still haven't been able to figure this one out, despite all of my best efforts. Anyone have any help to offer?

Thanks!

Sure, though it wasn't anything too profound. :) Once I finally sorted out that the blocks that used the class forabg used the image gradient.gif as the main body background, it was actually pretty easy. I changed all of the blocks to use class forabg. After that I put the header in class topiclist,...

Nevermind, I figured it out.

Hello, First of all, is it okay to ask questions about styles in this forum? The styles link takes me to an all-German board, and my browser translator doesn't work so well. :D I hope this is ok. I have two questions about modifying the style use for the blocks. First of all I am using a prosilver b...

I have it set as the default, just 5. It displays only 5 posts on my index page.

Thank you for your suggestion! It worked, the 5 most recent topics are showing up on the front page. However, they are only appearing after 10 blank topic slots in the block. So it's definitely an improvement, and progress is always a fantastic thing! I do appreciate the help. PHP is definitely a ne...

Hello again! I've got one more quick question. I've moved the poll block over to the right column. I replaced this: <div class="forabg"> with this: <div class="panel"> And I also switched these two lines: <!-- IF poll.S_CAN_VOTE --><dd style="width: auto;"><!-- IF poll....

Hello all! Let me first say I love this portal. It does all that I wanted in a better way than all other portals I looked at. Thanks for this guys! Now my question: there is a Recent Posts mod for phpbb3 that I enjoy. It puts a block on the top of the index page that shows the last 5 posts, and when...

I just want to echo this! I've only been using this portal for about a week now, but I'm already a die-hard fan of it. I've run through several different portals for phpbb3, and I haven't liked any of the others. But this one suits my needs perfectly with just a few small modifications here and ther...
