    Solved Portal and Homepage Widgets?

    Post by Rianna Lauren December 17th 2009, 11:27 am

    Hi,

    I'm trying to give my forum a little makeover, and make its appearance resembling something like this forum. I see that in this forum there's a portal, and I already know how to make that (though I'm still learning), and I know that's how I make all those boxes on the page (poll, top posters, create a forum, etc.)

    But how do you put it in your homepage, instead of just portal? Or does it show up automatically when I put them in the portal? There are a LOT of widgets and stuff in the portal, how do you choose which one to put on the homepage?

    Thank you! Smile

    No, because in the end I deleted my portal. It was a failure. Sad

    I mean like... I see that the homepage on THIS forum has some elements from the portal (the boxes on the right of the homepage... Poll, Shopmotion, Search, Latest Topics, etc). How do you make that?

    So those are forum widgets.
    Modules>Forum widgets management
    Similar to the portal, drag & drop the widgets here.
