View Full Version : Simple Portal

This is a simple portal that I just took some of my time to make, I will make a better version of this when I have time.

All you have to do is:
1) Open the portal.php file and edit the $forumpath variable to your forum path, if you don't know how, upload the vbpath.php file to your forum directory and access it via the browser to get the forum path.

2) Upload the portal.php file anywhere you want (It doesn't have to be in the forum directory), and you can also rename the file if you want, depending on your needs.

3) Go to the Style Manager, and create a new template called: portal and paste the following in it:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Remember to do this to every style you have, or else it won't work with that style.

One more thing, as I said the next version will be way better than this, so for now, not everything is PHRASED, but most of the things it is, so if you are using this in a different language other than English, then remember to edit the portal template.

PLEASE MARK AS INSTALLED.

it look good . and i like it . but how about the security of the forum it will affect it ??
lastly i heard so many site hacked from the portals ..
i would like to know because i want to install it in my site

This is different than the other portals, I didn't add any extra modules, not anything, it's just a smimple vB page just like the other pages, the only thing it does is fetches the portal template.
In other ways, it's as safe as the other vbulletin pages.

It is just a regular vb page with navbar inside. I don't understand how you call it portal.

A Portal is a door, If there is no portal as such, then the forum home is the portal.

Portal is just a word for the entrance to the site regardless of how it looks :)

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

The point is there is nothing special about this hack.
Just follow this (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=62164) article and you are ready to go

i like it.. i think it would be awesome w/ a forum desciption or a "welcome header" like message to guests. simple and clean. i use vbadvanced now and i offen wonder if its not overwelming for new users that arent computer savey or new to message boards or vbulletin.

I think you need to make your signature a bit bigger. We can hardly read it.

I hate it when the docroot is flooded with files this is why i run my community in mydomain.com/community. This little portal allows me to replace the stupid HTML-File with it's stupid META-redirect in the docroot. Great.
