I've been playing around with the design of one of my site in an eye to making the Portal page the home page for the site. To that end, I really wanted to be able to reproduce the contents of a few of the web pages. After copying and pasting HTML into IM Portal blocks, I finally found an easier way...
If you would like to include an already existent web page within a your portal page, do this:
[list type=decimal][*]Go to the Administration Page[*]Open up the "IM Portal" section on the left[*]Select Blocks Management[*]Select the portal page on the right you wish to edit[*]Click "Add Blocks" at the bottom of the table of blocks[*]Fill in the Name, Block Position, and set the block to Active[*]Set the "Type" to BBCode (below the big text box)[*]In the text box enter the following "[web:2685fgq6]http://<url>[/web:2685fgq6]", where <url> is the url of the webpage you wish to include.[*]Click "Submit"[*]Load your portal page and marvel at house easy it was.[/list]
A [not very good] example of this can be seen on The Snow Tire FAQ Forums in a special portal I used to test it: http://www.snowtire.info/forum/portal.php?page=11.
