Description and Message
I am looking at doing the portal addon to my forum.
The main reason for this is so that I can have a few blocks that are add's to members own sites.
I would like a square block about the size of the clock to have their logo that links to their sites.
Can this be done?

You can add as many custom blocks as you want to the portal. You can choose if you want to use HTML or BBCode.

Thanks for the reply Marc, but not very helpful.
Can you (or anybody) point me towards a walk through or explain to me in easy terms what to do.
I did follow the instructions I found somewhere to create a new html file and put some code in it but that didnt work.

Those instructions are probably for Board3 Portal 1.0.x.

In 2.0.0 you only have to go to the ACP and click "Add module" below the area you want to put your custom block. Then choose a custom block and add it. After 3 seconds (I believe it was 3 seconds) it'll redirect you to the custom block settings. There you can enter everything you want. Afterwards just click on "submit" and your custom block should show up on the portal. You can then move it to the place you want to have it in the ACP.

Hi,

That's works a treat, I have been playing with the old instructions, is this new to 2.0.0 ? I did not notice it in 2.0.0b1

I really like this portal, Thanks Guys

Clive

No, it has already been there in 2.0.0b1 but it's new in the 2.0.x versions of the portal.

Thanks Marc, will teach me to look more closely

Thanks Mark,
That worked a treat, its easy when you know how LOL
Placing an add couldnt be easier.
Thanks
I will probably be back with more silly questions as we move forward with our forum.
