Yepp! It do!

Now me gotta build something similar for our home page here, using the slider with pictures from the Galleries (both are still active) and an article with a welcome message.

Ken, I was thinking along the same lines actually.  I'll probably just do a copy paste and edit though, because I'm a lazy git. lol..   

[Ken (OP)]

Me too. 

[Mick]

Me too. 

lol.. 

Hope the guys like the new look, not 100% sure how it'll go down with them, but hey we tried, and done our best.  There's a couple of blocks there I wasn't sure about that I had to move from front page, will have to ask about those to see if they're important. Will do this later after work.

[Ken (OP)]

It's looking great. 

A couple more blocks would be good... are you going to add in Les's block? I think we should, as long as it's in with the other blocks at the bottom.

Well I was going to try it, but Les has already added it.  Thing is, it now doesn't fit the description above those blocks, which says,

"Below are a few of the blocks built in to TinyPortal, and ready to use"

There's no sponsor block built into TP, so we might have to look at that again.  Unless you think it's ok of course.  The reason I haven't added more blocks atm, was simply because they are a nightmare to arrange, they are all different sizes which makes it tricky, and the percentage setting don't work in the columns either.  You can see what happened when Les added the block for example, it shifted them all over the place and created a lot of empty spaces in those columns.

Like I said in the other thread over there, it would be neat if you could tell the blocks which column to sit in.

I wouldn't worry about it... the page looks tremendously better than before and no one has complained, so it's OK like it is. 

The title isn't actually that misleading because that ad block is simply a PHP block and those are built into the block system... you just activate one when you need it.

True on all counts Ken. I'll leave it be, and hopefully bloc will perhaps find a fix for the percentage stuff, that will make it easy to arrange them.

Got it installed to my XAMPP, playing around with it a little.

Whoops! Just read on TP where Bloc did a update on it.

Yeah, that was rev 6. lol..

[Ken (OP)]

OK, rev7 up and running. 

Guess I better wait for the dust to settle before installing it here on OFF.
