Ok, so since myfreeforum started to offer portals, I had spent a rather lengthy amount of time fiddling and tweaking to be able to add portals in the same way that your able to in phpbb2 and whilst I did find a somewhat useful answer in the forum of div elements this however is simply not good enough as the positioning and widths would continuely need tweaking for the varying templates, which it a task I would like to remove from members to basically give them less to do.

Today, I've gone and got something working that I hope is THE answer to being able to have portals on your phpbb3 forums here at myfreeforum.

Please don't rush this as I'd like to test this on a few more templates, just to be sure it is truly working, you can see it here on http://portalogy.myfabforum.org/index.php on a template uploaded today called WF Jade.

I'm hoping for possible release sometime this weekend.

ok?

the 18th and 19th have gone by and my expectation has been shot down by a mile long missle, but I have managed to get this working on another template in the same locations with regards to template files, so the new code is working on 2 rather different templates, so my aim is for a third and now with my 2 weeks annual leave from work, I should start to get a guide together.

W00t

I'm pretty certain I've nailed down the right location for the portal framework, took some time and tweakage, but so far it's looking good

I've edited the code since, as at the time I did say I chopped it short to get it working for a quicker showing, it is now all there and working.

I have posted a rather rough guide to add dual portal to proSilver based templates, as you can see on there subSilver2 is working under the same portal structure and a guide is coming, once there both up I'll get some screenshots and add a bit more info to them, including what to remove to make it single sided.
