new member and new to UBB : purchased 7.5.5

i am looking for [[linkremoved]] like portal
i checked and found i need to create some CUSTOM ISLAND
few are available in Portal layout.

i created ISLAND and it not shows HEADER[main forum]
and it shows the content of thread too.
i know not much is done with ISLAND in JU but i liked the way they show with clear date and threads/posts of each forum without showcasing the content.

so how do i do that?
also can anyone provide code for LOGIN FORM?

I'm confused at what you're trying to accomplish, the site you linked to is a web portal that's just there as a placeholder page and has no resemblance to a UBB portal page.

If you want to make the portal itself a generic webpage it's pretty simple, just edit portal.tpl to reflect whatever design you're interested in having displayed.

Well, it'd be a task of making PHP/HTML and just plugging it in; it'd be a lot of work to customize it... Easiest thing to look at would be the "External Code" on custom islands to which you could place into the portal file.

Well, the system uses the Smarty Templating engine, so you'll need to escape coding accordingly; so when adding say the "Who's Online" box to the page one would enter (Taken from the "External Use" link on the Portal Layout screen):
Code
{php}
if (!defined('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM')) define('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM',1);
$style_side="";$tbopen="";$tbclose="";
echo "<table width=\"100%\">";
include("/home/user/public_html/forums/languages/english/portal_islands.php");
include("/home/user/public_html/forums/languages/english/generic.php");
include("/home/user/public_html/forums/cache/online_now.php");
echo "</table>";
{/php}

If you wanted to use a 2 cell table it'd be basic HTML:
Code
<table width=\"100%\">
<tr>
<td>Table Cell Alpha</td>
<td>Table Cell Bravo</td>
</tr>
</table>

You'd literally just add the coding into portal.tpl where you wanted it to display; for clients in the past I've completely removed the existing portal coding (since all it really does is display latest posts from forums you select) and added in tables and external use boxes in them where they'd be displayed (custom portal boxes make great little content areas).

There isn't a login island that I'm aware of, you'd either have to create one or just include a link to the login page.

how to use this Upcoming events Custom Island code in 7.5.5?

Code
/* PHP CODE HERE, IF NECESSARY */

# Change the next parameter to the maximum future events you want
$maxEvents = 10;
# Change to whichever column this Custom Island will be shown (for CSS)
$portalCol = 'left';

# -- Nothing changes below, unless you are non-n00bers ;)
$intTime = time();
$dateParts = getdate($intTime);
$dtYr = $dateParts['year'];

$q = "
SELECT ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_SUBJECT, ce.TOPIC_ID, t.POST_ID,
ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_DAY, ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_MONTH,
ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_YEAR, ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_BODY
FROM {$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}CALENDAR_EVENTS ce, {$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}TOPICS t
WHERE ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_TYPE='public'
AND ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_RECURRING = 'never'
AND ce.CALENDAR_EVENT_YEAR >= $dtYr
AND ce.TOPIC_ID=t.TOPIC_ID
";
$r = $dbh->do_query($q);
$ceList = array();
while (list($ceSubject, $topicID, $postID, $ceDay, $ceMon, $ceYr) = $dbh->fetch_array($r)) {
$ceTime = mktime(0,0,0,$ceMon,$ceDay,$ceYr);
if ($ceTime >= $intTime) {
$ceList[$ceTime]['Subject'] = $ceSubject;
$ceList[$ceTime]['postID'] = $postID;
}
}

# Create the list
$i=0;
sort($ceList);
foreach ($ceList as $ce) {
$cssExt = ($i++&1) ? '2' : '1';
$cssClass = 'class="' . $portalCol . 'alt-' . $cssExt .'"';
if ($i == 1) {
$htmlList .= "<a href=\"{$config['FULL_URL']}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number={$ce['postID']}\">{$ce['Subject']}</a>";
} else {
$htmlList .= "</td></tr><tr><td $cssClass>";
$htmlList .= "<a href=\"{$config['FULL_URL']}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number={$ce['postID']}\">{$ce['Subject']}</a>";
}
}

/* DO NOT CHANGE THE LINE BELOW */
$body = <<<EOF

$htmlList

EOF;
/* DO NOT CHANGE THE LINE ABOVE */

Well, you'd add it as a custom island then you'd use the external use code as i mentioned above to put it into a page.
