i'm really sorry that I keep posting and asking questions but I wanted to know what the coding be for this

Coding help Untitl12

But what I want to do is make
rules and guidelines a html page so I want them to be clickable to an html page but I don't know how to do that
Do I need to make another html page
and then I know you have to link a link to forumotion in order to make it a homepage but how do i do that like how do I get the code for that
How do i get the two html pages linked since I guess they'd need to be linked
if i haven't explained well please tell me and i'll try to be more detailed
thank you

Just to clarify this would be my homepage

Code:: <HR> <body bgcolor="#4E4E4E"> <H1> <Center> ASGB FORUM </H1> </CENTER> <HR> </body> <HR> <h3><center> <a href="#content1">Rules and Guidelines</a></h3></center> <center> <p> Please read the rules and guidelines before using ASGB, If you have read the rules and can not find the information you require contact a mod </p> </center> <hr> <a href="http://www.forumotion.com">Powered by: Forumotion</a>

This is my code so far

I done this befor you can href rules into a pop up login box also you can place href in additional rules when a member registers

Example

Code:: <div style="margin:auto;text-align:center;width:100%">If you have not read the rule please click the link below. </div> <div style="margin:auto;text-align:center;width:100%"> <a href="Url to your rules" class="postlink">to rules topic</a> </div>

bbcodeing also helps to if you want it in a specific position
Basic BBCodeing works for html

Code:: be shore to put [] then [/] an caps it [LEFT][/LEFT]-LEFT Positions it to the left [RIGHT][/RIGHT]-RIGHT Positions it to the rightt [CENTER][/CENTER]-CENTER Positions it to the center keep <div> an </div> its there to placehold the position

I use this alot an it automatically puts it html the code

you can look here
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp
this site is a good resource for htlm codeing which each type it does an function.

unless your wanting in your Homepage

Generalities
You can modify options for your forum main page with the options below.

go to your Administration Control pad then click Display then find Homepage an then click Generalities then find Homepage message an input the code into the message box it will work there to.

Templates have nothing to do with is that what I am seeing your doing it at

by Victimised April 6th 2017, 8:23 pm

I want it to be a topic itself is clickable so like
Rules and Guidelines then you click and it goes into this page
http://www.asgbforum.com/h1-rules-and-guidelines

and also I do all this https://gyazo.com/94fd9ff59db2a9ef7a417da817c724ba
and save but when i save it and go back my homepage is still like this

https://gyazo.com/c8c50b915c17093dcbef5d5de4922912

So what am I doing wrong sorry

Do you have the portal activated? I see an image, but no text.

by Victimised April 6th 2017, 8:30 pm

Yes, I do should but i have nothing in it sorry new to all this

Code:: <CENTER><H1> ASGB FORUM </H1> </CENTER> <HR> <div style="margin:auto;text-align:center;width:100%"> <H4><a href="http://www.asgbforum.com/h1-rules-and-guidelines" class="postlink">RULES AND GUIDELINES </a> <H4> <hr> </div>

That is my coding

by Guest April 6th 2017, 8:32 pm

portal widgets can use the same codeing within the widget your programming the codeing your just not useing a main index. there are different ways you can setup which is your homepage starts ether html or a portal page or the main index.

portal pages use different windows that are called widgets the portal can be found in MODULES there you can setup how a portal looks or what is has on the page

I see your forum now do you want a login pop up or An basic Homepage message
or portal I get were your confused

You've lost me sorry not that good at coding
forumotion and coding is all new to me trying to set up an art forum

So my home page would be
Banner
gap
Asgb forum
line break
Rules and guidelines which clicks open to http://www.asgbforum.com/h1-rules-and-guidelines
line break
and the rest would just be normal topics

so when i save it looks like this
https://gyazo.com/47b7d3bdddd313896fb4da6d18b414eb

but then it just doesn't show up at all i've even deleted all my categories and tried that but nothing

Sorry yes just one last question if i wanted the topics
I don't want the view post since or the other topics there
i want updates to be right under the line break
but i wanted to open up into forums is that just because i'm on admin ?

https://gyazo.com/88875253b7119843c30484e2aa12460d

So it would be
updates
line break
Questions and queries
line break
events
line break

then new category section
Art shop
Custom shop
line break
premade shop
line break
free shop
line break

Another category section
Art Auctions
line break
Find a shop partner
break
Collabs

Other things (another category)
off topic
tutorials

by **SLGray** April 6th 2017, 10:07 pm

Please start a new topic for questions/issues that are not similar.

by Guest April 15th 2017, 2:45 am

@SLGray you forgot to say this.
this actually related to issue an topic starter there is a way you can space it.

Once again go to Admin Cp then click Display the click Structure and hierarchy
The information below will allow you to customize topics and the categories hierarchy on the forum index.

in this section you can pick how topic space out from each other

ether Keep categories on index or Split categories on index

line breaking html code

Code:: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p>This is<br>a paragraph<br>with line breaks</p> </body> </html>

<br> It breaks the line. If you put <br />
then your text will go to the next line down.

this code can be used in topic or anywhere you want it . I think I sloved this issue with the thing your wanting.
