Post Phpbb3 Portal For Milky_Way 
 
As promised, now that I'm done here is the work I've done for the portal with Milky_Way.
The following should also work in other Icy Phoenix styles.

Portal: www.phpbb3portal.com

First of all, install the portal as instructed from the original site and use the subSilver2 files for the Milky Way style.

It should work as is, but if you want to tweak it a little bit like mine here's what you should do:

Backup!
Make a backup of you Milky Way folder !

Point 1
For the News Section, I wanted every article's title to have the forum's header backround.
Open /styles/milky_way/theme/stylesheet.css
Locate: .cat
It should be like this, but your colors might be different:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
.cat {
color: #FF5500;
background-color: #F8F8F8;
background-image: url('./images/bg_th.gif');
border: solid 1px #FFFFFF;
border-right-color: #DDDDDD;
border-bottom-color: #DDDDDD;
height: 26px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-indent: 4px;
}

Now, copy the whole code and paste it underneath and rename .cat to .catnews. Make any changes you want, like the image and the border width. Then you should have this:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
.catnews {
color: #FF5500;
background-color: #F8F8F8;
background-image: url('./images/tbl_h_c.gif');
background-position: bottom left;
border: solid 0px #FFFFFF;
border-right-color: #DDDDDD;
border-bottom-color: #DDDDDD;
height: 26px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-indent: 4px;


Point 2
For the title bar of the Boxes, they'll look far better if you do the following:
OPEN /styles/milky_way/theme/stylesheet.css
FIND .tablebg
It should look like the following, color might be different:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
.tablebg {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: solid 1px #AAAAAA;
}

Copy it undreneath and rename .tablebg to .tablebgportal like this:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
.tablebgportal {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: solid 1px #AAAAAA;
}


Once again, find .tablebg th
Should look like this:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
.tablebg th{
color: #FF5500;
background: #FFFFFF url('./images/bg_th.gif') top left repeat-x;
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: bold;
height: 26px;
padding: 0 5px;
border: solid 1px #FFFFFF;
border-right-color: #BBBBBB;
border-bottom-color: #BBBBBB;
white-space: nowrap;
}


Copy it underneath, rename it to .tablebgportal th and change the border settings to:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
.tablebgportal th{
color: #FF5500;
background: #FFFFFF url('./images/bg_th.gif') top left repeat-x;
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: bold;
height: 26px;
padding: 0 5px;[b]
border-right: solid 0px #FFFFFF;
border-top: solid 0px #FFFFFF;
border-bottom: solid 1px #BBBBBB;
border-left: solid 0px #FFFFFF;[/b]
white-space: nowrap;
}


This way you have some new classes in order not to change anything else in the forum style.

Point 3
Enabling the changes in the portal's Boxes:
Go to styles/milky_way/template/portal/block/ and open any block you use. I'll use news.html and clock.html for my example.
In the first row you'll find:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
<table class="tablebg" cellspacing="1" width="100%">

Replace it with:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
<table class="tablebgportal" cellspacing="0" width="100%">


Then for the other image backround
find
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
<td class="cat">

and replace it with
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
<td class="catnews">


Make the 1st change to all boxes (tablebgportal) and you'll be just fine

Remember to clear your forum cache.

If you need anything else, post it and I'll try to help! I hope I'm not missing anything, this is my 1st guide..

How do you even install phpBB3portal with Milky Way or Black Pearl, I have trouble finding lines in breadcrumbs and other files. Do you just add whatever it says anyway

As I remember, you just install the portal as is, according to the instructions. Please follow them carefully.
All you have to do is use the subSilver2 folders into Milky_Way and then tweak it as in the first post.
Could you be more specific about your problem?

Hover your mouse over the selected forum and look in your browser's status bar at the bottom.  The link would look something like: http://www.yoursite.com/viewforum.php?f=21, if you don't have URL Rewrite on.  If you do have URL Rewrite on in your ACP, the link will look similar and just pay attention to the f=21 numbers at the end of the link.  That number is the forum ID.

so if a category has an forum ID as f=1, all the forums inside that category wont be displayed in the portal's recent posts?

im talking about the portal's feature to choose which forums not to scan for recent posts.. or was that featured posts?.

Oh, I thought you were generally talking about how to find forum ID's.  I don't use phpBB3 as Icy Phoenix has all, if not more, features than standard phpBB3.

Sorry I don't know more information about this phpBB3 portal system.  

I'm a failure.

you are talking about news on portal..because recent topic feature does NOT have option for select or exclude forums

and about news...you can :
add forums which you want to be show in portal (forum topics from selected forum)
exclude forums which you want to be NOT show in portal

so from your screenshot, the forum number that should be placed if i want to exclude that forum to the portal news is 2?

just want to make sure before i re-install the portal..
