Forumer

OK you may want to know what is FPortal & how to use it, i will take you on a Step By Step guide on how to set it up

(1) Go into your Admin CP and select "fportal" from there do the following steps

* Welcome Message: Type a welcome message like "Hello And Welcome To My Forum"

*Number of News: This is the number of announcements will show on your portal, best to set it to 3 as you don't want to clutter up your portal

* News length: This is for the amount of characters that are in one announcement, i have mine set at 300

* News forum(s) & Poll forum(s): Here comes the tricky part, what you need to do is make a new forum called say "Portal Stuff" and make that forum hidden from all members, then open the forum you just made and in the address bar you will see the address something like this: http://www.myforum.com/viewforum.php?f=44, now copy and paste the forum ID (the one shown in blue) into the to boxes called "News forum(s)"and "Poll forum(s)" and then you have finished that part .

* Number of recent topics: this feature shows the most recent topics on the left hand side of the portal, i have set mine to 20.

* Last seen users on forum: this feature shows the last members to of logged onto your forum, i have mine set to 5.

* Home,Board_navigation, Statistics, total_topics, Comments, Read_Full, View_comments, Post_your_comment, Welcome, Register_new_account, Remember_me, View_complete_list, Poll, Log-in_to_vote, Vote and No_poll: these options allow you to change the wording of things like instead of saying "Statistics" you can change it to "Forum Statistics" and so forth

* Navigation_Panel_Text: this allows you to add things to your "Board Navigation"box like a hit counter

* Link_Panel_Text: this is were you can add links to other sites and even have your affiliation box.

Now once you have done that and are happy with it, tick the first option "Configure main page" and then when some one goes to your forum they will see your portal, have fun


I hope this helped you create your forums portal
