Sorry if this has been asked before. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Is there a News and Newsletters ezblock? I'd like something for like forum announcements etc on the front page of the forum.
-
There currently is not a a newsletter block
-
Is that worth a feature request? I know that I can just type news in to a block on the front page so I don't know that it's worth while?
-
Maybe, I guess how would it work. A random news entry? Or fader? Normally this is part of the theme though.
-
Yea, I'm not sure.
I'm converting from phpbb so forgive my ignorance.
I see view the news the same way as I would announcements in phpbb. Probably ignorant in thinking?
I'd like something that puts up site announcements similar to what's happening in phpbb but I don't know if that's even possible. I create an announcement in a forum and it shows in the portal front page in phpbb.

Oh an announcement is different in SMF. There is no built in feature to make a site wide announcement without the use of mods for SMF.
What we do in SMF is have a board dedicated news. We call the news block in ezPortal where you can select a block to pull the latest posts from that news forum and you can use that in the portal.
