- New WhatsNew.asp Page
--- Very similar to this Forum's active.asp page

I don't know the content of the 2 missing inc files so I replaced them w/ inc_top.asp and inc_footer.asp. I ran the dbsetup and the date config. Tried to access the resources.asp and got an invalid procedure call for 'Monthname' in inc_functions.asp. Wish I knew a little more that I currently do.
So I also am waiting for this much improved Portal MOD.
Thanks,
Simonduz
BTW: Brent, I never had a single problem with any of the previous releases. Keep up the great work.

Hello,
This mod is 100% compatible with the previous version! Just extract into the same folders and over-write all the files. Then, you need to run ConvertDates.asp from the main Portal Mod Directory, this file will update all the dates to the new format.

Well actually, I don't have a live demo of this mod to show at this moment because CFM-Resources is down. BUT, you can see what HuwR has done with the old version at his test site here:
http://www.magicmushroom.org.uk/
tschive has also heavily edited this mod to create an actual Snitz Portal here:
http://heilpaedagogik.121host.net/portal/
Basically, this mod allows you to create an indexing system of your site's content. You can link to internal and external pages, articles, downloads, etc. etc. and even run a topsites listing (add-on code for this will be available very soon!).
Hope this helps.

This is looking very good.
Right now i use newstrax for my front page news, and link to a forum discussion after, but to be able to turn the front page in to a portal will be a lot more easy to maintain.
I will give this a bash and see what I come up with, can any one else show me any demos of what they have pulled together with this??.

What are you doing up?
Yes the resources.asp does display without the .inc includes. Well there are no errors.
Have fun.

No not a clue.
It appears to be when its trying to create a con (my_con) and it cant create that connection, it may be the fact that this mod is rather restricted on file paths.
My forum is not in /forum so my include folder is not in /forum/include as this mod thinks, I tried to edit all the files to direct it to the right place.
Maybe thats the cause of this problem, I am just at a loss as to what is causing that error though.
The line it falls on is.
objRec.Open("SELECT * FROM Site_Cats WHERE ParentID = 0 ORDER BY Title ASC;")
And I am very limited in my ASP knowledge , so maybe someone else can point us in the right direction.

Hello,
Note:(Concerning BestRatedLinks.inc and NewLinks.inc)
These files are meant to be included on a seperate page and will not work inside the Portal Mod Resources.asp page without some tweaking. Use them at your own risk!
Markm,
Because others have set this Mod up without problems in that area I cannot think of the reason you would be having this problem. Make sure that you are using the Access 2000 connection string in the Snitz Forum config.asp file. If that doesn't help then please let me know.
Sincerely,
Brent Trevel,

That appears to of solved it =)
Now all I need to figure out how to do is get it to pull out news like in that demo site =).
And how to pull out topics from the forum etc, I take it people are using a few mods together to get some of these demos shown here?

tschive has used a heavily edited version of this mod for his demo as well as the slash mod and some other mods.
