I have installed lots of mods but this one is confusing me, does it mean copy everything into the root directory, or the relevant parts to the forum directory, if someone can put this in a clearer way I would be most greatful

cheers

I thought I was doing it right till I got to Copy: root/language/en/bb3portal.php
To: language/en/bb3portal.php there is no language/en in the bb3portal

There is a folder called 'root' in the files that you download all 'copy' statements are relative to that..all the 'to' statements are relative to the folder in which the forum is stored.

Let us assume that your website is called http://www.mysite.com and that your forum is in a folder called 'forum'.

Copy: root/.htaccess
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/.htaccess

Copy: root/bb3portal.php
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/bb3portal.php

Copy: root/bb3portal (the entire folder)
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/bb3portal

Copy: root/language/en/bb3portal.php (just copy the 'en' folder over or the language that you require)
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/language/en/bb3portal.php

Copy: root/styles/subsilver2/template/bb3portal (the entire folder)
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/styles/subs ... /bb3portal

Copy: root/styles/prosilver/template/bb3portal (the entire folder)
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/styles/pros ... /bb3portal

Copy: root/styles/subsilver2/theme/images/icon_mini_forum.gif
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/styles/subs ... _forum.gif

Copy: root/styles/subsilver2/theme/images/icon_mini_home.gif
To: http://www.mysite.com/forum/styles/subs ... i_home.gif

delete the .htaccess

[hd1]

Done that

Getting there

Cheers

[BillyBobBongo]

There was no .htaccess file in the compressed package when I downloaded this mod. It's not really needed as far as I know. Don't give up on this mod...it really is worth the effort!

How do we get rid of the sample block? and change the welcome message.

For the welcome message I changed the Lang file but it still displays the default one! I dont get it.
I did clear my Cache!

Thanks for any help.

[hd1]

Well have got it installed and running now

and would also like a walk through, how to edit the blocks

also in the welcome screen I have no images, think there should be a logo and some flags, checking the properties they should be in a directory http://www.rail-chat.co.uk/chat/portal_ ... l_logo.jpg

I dont have a directory portal_images, is this somthing missed on the download
I have a directory bb3portal/images which is the one that came with it, but alas the above mentioned icons are not in it

have a look at http://www.rail-chat.co.uk/chat and I would welcome any advice, this isn't the site that will go out live to my members, just trying to get my head round how it all works before putting up the real one, and the fun of moving my phpbb2 board over

any any one know how to change the dollars on paypal to GBP (£) cheers

[bbrian017]

I'm pretty sure that if you have the paypal account accepting euros you will be okay. When they donate they will have to donate in euros.

I dont have a directory portal_images, is this somthing missed on the download

No, the images are not included,but you can make the home page your own way by editing the welcome.html

Cheers Brain

I sussed the image thing, simple way to create the portal_image directory myself

Found the bit in donations/paypal where you can see the script is for USD I have changed this to GBP but to no avail yet, still looking at it

Im slowly getting to grips with it
and I now think that most problems are to do with the server cache
As in my problem with the donation into GBP, I edited the script but nothing happened, well I have reloaded all of this on another server from scratch, and it works perfectly

[capncanada]

I sorta half figured it out.

Edit the HTML files in styles folders.

What I did to get rid of that block was delete all whats in the sample.html file.

And for the welcome message, edit the welcome.html
