I Don't Understand...How To Put Portals...I Don't Understand How. For example, I tried to put the top-posters one: http://howtodoit.myfreeforum.org/about586.html And I followed the guide EXACTLY, but it didn't work! (I took out some stuff it told me to do after I realized it didn't work.) My FORUM: http://finalshowdown.myfastforum.org/index.php I really don't understand what I did wrong. |

And unless you post what you did, we can't tell what you did wrong either.
Follow the guides exactly and things work. You need to post the files you created in a [code] [/code] block so we can see what you did. |

you don't need to create a new portal, topposters is already there by default all components are, unless their custom or test portals, all you need to do is follow from point6 where it says:
I know you still learning and having a good go at learning (of which I applaud) how to do it yourself of which I applaud, so just place {MYFF.TOPPOSTERS} at the bottom of your index body, save it then refresh you page, hopefully this gives you more of an idea on how to show portals on a forum, but to place them at the side you will need to follow one of the guides on how to add them so search "portals" on howtodoit you should at last check see 4/5 results. |

I added that at the bottom, and still nothing happened. Can you check it out, or maybe do it, and I can see what I did wrong? |

| Bravo |
I am a newbie to portals too, they seemed complicated to me, so I never bothered with them.
However, I just did what Nick said and it work fine. It showed it at the bottom of the page. I did follow the instructions on Howtodoit (to show portal on the left) on a dead forum I have, the template was Ti2000. I followed those instructions to the letter and the portal appeared with the ads rather than with the forum and it made all my forum titles move to the centre. So I assume that must be a quirk in that particular template? |

you guys should read this one
http://forum.myfreeforum.org/about4853.html and also search through that thread for more pointers and methods to add portals |

Maybe ... I'll try it with a different template later ... I'm getting really confused right now. |
||||

Okay, well, can you show me what's in your cms index body? This is mine:
|

| K |
apparently you didnt even read my post.
2-3 posts up i said read this link http://forum.myfreeforum.org/about4853.html and you would see exactly what to do. if you take your code that you have there and add what that up there says you get this:
then in overall_fotter.tpl at the very TOP put this
problem solved |
||||
| Nick(NR) |
not quite the cms_indexbody.tpl you've just posted is for the full portal view, they need to be on the forum, folloing a guide from howtodoit.
cms_indexbody.tpl example: http://www.asraifans.myfastforum.org/index.php portals added to the forum: http://asraifans.myfastforum.org/index.php |

opps oops oops sorry sorry i didnt realize that was his index....

But K, I don't have an overall_footer, and even if I create on, put that in, and put the other thing in the cms index body, it still doesn't work. | ||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
overall_footer.tpl is a forum template file and not a portal template file, and you do have one. | ||||
| Elemento |
Where can I find it? |
||||
| admin (no pm's please) |
When you edit any of the template files like overall_header.tpl, you will find overall_footer.tpl in the same list. | ||||
| Elemento |
Okay. I found it. Thanks. |

Okay, well, I finally figured out how to do Portals and stuff.
However, when I tried to put in the Popular Portal, it didn't work.
I followed: http://howtodoit.myfreeforum.org/Popular_Topics_about565.html perfectly, and it didn't work. I had a Portal called TOPPOSTERS, but once I realized I needed it to be TOPPOSTER, I made a new one with Blank. |

1. You must give the (myfree/myfast/myfine)forum.org link to your forum. A link should be given to the problem if at all possible. Do this whether you think it is important or not.
2. Search on the forum and on howtodoit for your problem before posting. 90% of the posts we get have easily found answers if you search on a couple of key words from your post. If this is not the case report the keywords you searched on and we will make sure search works for the next person to try the same search terms. Each time someone doesn't bother to use the search, questions accumulate in the forum making it harder for people to actually find answers! as people searching will end up finding the question and not the answer. 3. Keep it to one support question per thread, if you have another question start a new topic. This will help others using "search" to find answers. |
