[Support] Index page on your portal

by Erythnul August 24th 2007, 11:39 pm

Hello everyone!

For people who want their forum index on their portal, like on the French support : http://forum.forumactif.com

You can now use the Forum Index Generator that our friend SanDream (moderator on the French support) has just finished. I am the first to have tested this generator.

Here's the address : https://illiweb.com/ForumActif/afficherPage.php

The Web page is in French, so I put here the instructions.

1- In the "Adresse du forum" field, you type your forum address.

NOTICE :
- It must be typed without the http://...
- / \ : * ? < > |, spaces and accents must be avoided
- You mustn't forget the domain name (.forumactif.com, .forumotion.com, fr-bb.net, etc.)

For example, I type my test forum address : katt-test.forumotion.com

2- You click on "Valider"

3- Then, it will give you a script. you must then copy it ENTIRELY and then, you go in Admin Panel > yellow arrow at the bottom > Portal > Portal structure > Create a custom block > you paste the script after you clicked on the A/A icon. We recommend you to add this block in the 2nd column

And here's the results on my test forum : http://katt-test.forumotion.com/portail.htm

NOTICE : The display will depend of the index compression you chose in your Admin Panel > yellow arrow at the bottom > Configuration+

Ok. So I just registered here after being a long-time user of Forumotion in hopes to get a little help with this script that is quoted above. *I'm sorry if I didn't post this under the proper topic.*

I was able to get this script to work properly but I noticed something a bit interesting that is not mentioned in that moderators proposal. After adding it to my forums portal page; In which just happens to be permissioned so that not all threads can be viewed by the public except for my public section; It looks like that block creator only grabs the ones available to public eye since it doesn't see the rest of the forums. *since it isn't a member.*

How can I get it so I can add the rest of the forum boards that can only be seen by registered members to my portal in hopes to one day use my portal as my index page?

Thanks kindly!
