I'm pretty sure it at least works, since Spuds had been working on it. The conversion had been somewhat parallel to the development of 2.4 version of SimplePortal, which had been stalled for some time now due to other projects I had to work on but should start again soon.

I worked (with some bugs) on B1 but I would guess its needs some updating for B2.   Its high on my "list" of things to get working on now that B2 is out. 

Tabbed block

Reply #33

Is it possible to have block in with tabs where we can browse through most liked, recent, most viewed etc posts/topics ? I mean something like [bd] Widgetframework for XF.

The main problem would be there is no sidebar... :P

What is the difference between portal anyway? It can do all that as well, and more, right?

Re: Tabbed block

The difference lays mainly on what users expect to be on the "core" and what not.
A "sidebar" is much simpler than a portal. It is usually meant to be shown maybe only on the board index, with... something in it.
A portal is usually much more, the current Simple Portal is much closer to a CMS than a ... simple portal and maybe many people only want a simple sidebar and don't want to have to deal with all the stuff that SP brings with it.

Do note that I always considered sidebars as unnecessary hassles, but recently (there is a topic in this board) I started considering the possibility to have one. I also started coding an addon, and I was immediately side-tracked to something more complex as usual. lol

That's the problem. It will become more complex. But it is up to developer to consider whether this should be a part of the core. Or official elkarte addons. I can see this in Wedge and dislike it. Just make sure I can turn this off if you make it a part of the core will ya @emanuele .
