someone asked me if i could help them understand how to install this portal... i am no coder... and peterska2 is best to ask for assistance, but... i did supply some instructions for the person who asked... and thought i would share them....



Step #1 - edit your portal.php file it should look something like this.....

/home/this is your root folder name/public_html/'

Step#2 change the name of the portal.php to index.php

Step#3 change the name of your index.php (on the server-side) (your forum index.php, to forum.php)

step#4 go to forum home options in your admincp and change the index to forum

step#5 go to your admincp plugins and products /manage products and upload your xml file that is in your portal directory

after you do this... your hack is installed...

refresh your screen and look under your VBulletin Options for portal. set up which forum will be your news for the portal.... and the other stuff...


the work starts now.......

in your styles and templates look for the portal templates you primarily want to work with the left and right columns.... in the addons that come with portal hack are instructions.. read them...

you are looking for code snippets that have $who_has_posted this code in it... each addon will have an instructions document.. and in that document you will find the code to paste.... either in your left or right column..
i suggest as you are pasting the snippets... dont try to put a <br> after a snippet
just...
$who_has_posted
$who_has_posted
$who_has_posted

stack the different snippets this way and all will be well...

good luck.. im going to bed!!
