TinyPortal is a extension script for the forum software Simple Machines Forum (SMF) and will add functions not normally included in SMF. As SMF its using PHP / MySQL and is currently developed by the original main developer. History TinyPortal started out as a small project in 2004 and slowly grew with more features during the following year. A 0.5 beta version was placed on the SMF modsite, but due to many bugs was later removed by the author pending a more stable version. During the next 3 years the main site tinyportal.net was used as the main development site and still is today. The development cycles were at times slow, but it finally reached its v1.0 in 2008, and was re-added to the SMF mod site in 2009. Articles The main feature of Tinyportal is its articles serving as separate pages within SMF. They can be of several types (HTML, PHP, import) and have many visibility options deciding how the article will look.The frontpage is the new entry point, taking over that role from SMF itself which normally showed the forum boards. Blocks Blocks are small areas of information located within larger areas called panels. These are placed around the main content and can be turned on and off depending on which page is shown. Many preset types have been added, allowing different kinds of forum-related info or user specific info to be shown. Modules A relative new addition to the script is modules, small extensions of TinyPortal itself. Currently a Shoutbox and a Download Manager comes as default in the package, but more are expected. The TP team The support team offer support for issues around TinyPortal and often also SMF, and use a bugtracker for the easy follow-up on the development. The development site also serves as main repository for many SMF themes and TP (TinyPortal) themes and files.
