Widget Portal ALPHA Release
WARNING: This is ALPHA release! Do not install on a live forum. Do not install on a forum that you care about the data. Do install on a test forum. This is for testing ONLY.
This add-on is a portal for xenForo.

Requirements:
Features:
- [Portal] Home Page /home
- [Portal] Available as root node / (ie. you can run your portal from www.yoursite.com)
- [Portal] Article View for Specific Forums

How to:
- To administer the portal first set your options in the admin.
- example.com/admin.php?options/list/widgetportal
- Configure height / width
- example.com/admin.php?styles/{your style here}/style-properties&group=widgetportal
- Add widgets to the portal
- example.com/admin.php?widget-portal/
- There's 4 placement options
- Featured (Above the Left Sidebar and Main Content)
- Left Sidebar
- Main Content
- Right Sidebar
Carousel Widget:
- You'll want to make sure you add the "Frontend Configuration Widget" to your sidebar as that allows you to edit the carousel's contents. (Next version I'll check and do this automatically.)
- Also you'll need to set the can edit carousel permission and add your user group.
- Automatically pulls the first image. Use Frontend Widget to configure.
Recent Threads Widget:
- Configuration is done when adding the widget. Choose the type of threads to display and where to place it.
Please report any bugs or issues in this thread. You might ask why not in the resource manager. Well I feel that is for production add-ons. Since this is
ALPHA testing version, I'll keep is separate for now.
Finally one last warning. Please only install this for testing. Don't blame me if something terrible happens (although it shouldn't).
=== FAQ ===
Q. Why can't I edit what is in the carousel?
A. Check that you have added the "Frontend Configuration Widget" to your sidebar and added "Allow" to the can edit carousel permission.
