Great suggestion, that's gonna take a bit of work to integrate though. Something I think we can do but will take a bit to get around do.

Brandon · **Posted:** January 24th, 2008, 7:30 pm

I agree.

The one thing we should do is wait until all the bugs are fixed with the portal mod otherwise it would be alot of work to keep updated the Beta Portal Mod.

Nexus · **Posted:** January 24th, 2008, 7:42 pm

There arent any bugs that have been found. It's the full release, not the beta.

Oh really

I must have missed that phpbb.com announcement.

lmao sorry guys lol

Nexus · **Posted:** January 24th, 2008, 7:55 pm

It's not a problem at all.

Just wondering how this mod-integration is coming along?

-Rich

mdvaldosta · **Posted:** January 28th, 2008, 11:38 am

Haven't started on it yet, but it is an important feature we'll be adding.

Nexus · **Posted:** January 28th, 2008, 12:03 pm

Cool, just wondering. Also, I guess this is the best time to talk about it...

Will users be able to upload their own portal_body.tpl file? If so, we could start a How-To tutorial for modifying the portal_body file. (Adding sections, doing this, doing that kind of thing)

-Rich

No I doubt that. Most likely we'll offer blocks that users can choose to display or not and hopefully offer some customizable ones as well.

Brandon · **Posted:** January 28th, 2008, 3:56 pm

yeah hopefully you do add that with the portal where you can customize your own portal boxes because i have many ideas from experience with phpbb2 forums portal editing that i can bring back and re-create on phpbb3 portals.

Whhoooooosssshhhhhhhhhh!

Most of the above has gone right over my head! There was me thinking that a portal was some sort of doorway into an alternative universe! :lol:

Brandon · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 12:08 pm

You seriously dont know what a Forum portal is?

PanHandle · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 4:38 pm

I do now, thanks to you. :idea:

There is a local forum I frequent that has one but I hadn't appreciated what it was. So thank you for enlightening me.

So I was right, it IS a doorway into an alternative universe. :lol:

Brandon · **Posted:** January 29th, 2008, 4:41 pm

Its basically imitating a Site Home Page.
