I've seen some ubbthreads installations where there are portal islands displayed on the forum list page, and no "portal page" menu item. How do I do that?

Simple
Control Panel » Portal Settings
Enable the Main Portal Index page?
Disable that field

The forum list page will still use the islands from the
Control Panel » Portal Layout

No that's not working, the forum summary page is not showing any of the Portal Layout selections. There's no additional columns. Is there some other setting I may be overlooking?

Assuming you do have islands enabled.And they worked on the portal page.
You must have turned them off
Turn off the left column
Turn off the right column
in your mystuff edit prefrences.

You can disable the feature to not allow users to turn them off
at
Control Panel » Portal Settings
Allow users to turn off the left column?
Allow users to turn off the right column?

Hi there,

This is not the explanation: the feature is disabled in the control panel.

Is there another possible explanation?

possibly could be a couple of issues.
1. the code was modified to not display them
2. could be a cache issue
3. could be a file permission issue.


BTW,
I sent a PM to you

Hi Reuben,

I just figured it out: in Portal Settings, "only show right column on portal page" was selected, and this was interfering for some strange reason.

Sorry I didn't see your PM earlier!

Cheers,
Max

Not to many people use that feature,that I know of.
But that would do it.
only show right column on portal page
is literally that.
only show it in the portal page.

Well, it's because that's what this feature does, it literally just turns the portal island section on for just the portal page; so when the portal is not on (or a user is not on the portal page) they just won't see the portal islands

Got it, thanks

What I thought it means was:
On the portal page, only show the right column, don't show the left column, regardless of layout settings.

Maybe "show right column only on the portal page" would have been a bit clearer for me smile
