I've found the error. It appears only when avatars are disabled in the news.

Great, good job!

I disabled avatars because they overlaying the text.. but only if measures aren't standard.
The working theme you link to me has little avatars..

I think we can set the avatar width. If we can do that, will everything would be okay?

Someone have this mod workink with the "Çöl Ateşi v3" Theme because i can isntall in my forum and i use this theme

I think it would be GREAT!


I taked a look around and didn't noticed anything else, except for a little bridging issue with Joomla when I'm on Admin -> Option and Settings page and try to save.

Everything's OK when I'm on www.mysite/forum [nofollow] (directly in SMF with no template integration) but if I'm in the wrapped view I can't save settings because of a :

Code: [Select]

Unable to load the 'main' template
error..

I'll look at that avatar issue.

Ummm... Don't have any idea about the bridges. But I'll look at that also.

Thanks a lot for your care ..

I like this portal and my members want it very much but I can't use it on my live server

For some reason it wont read the language file entries for the text that it uses. See attached images.

I can get it to work perfectly on my home computer server for testing, but when I install it on my hosted server it refuses to show the text for the portal. I've tried manually installing on a fresh SMF 1.1.4 install with no other mods and it still wont work on the hosted server. I'm just getting into PHP so I'm having problems finding the reason for it.

Please help thanks

Try adding the text strings to the utf-8 language files also.

Is it possible to add a recently purchased items block to the simple portal? 

The original mod that shows it in the shop is located here:
http://www.daniel15.com/forum/index.php/topic,1219.0.html

However the creator is not around anymore to my knowledge.  The code is there just the same to look at and modify to include with the SimplePortal though I would assume.

Thank you very much
I added the language file additions to the appropriate utf8 files and copied the SPortal.english.php file as SPortal.english-utf8.php and it works great now.

Suggestions for future versions:
* utf8 support
* Better Avatar display coding. (have it check the avatar max size setting instead of hard coding it)
* Ability to turn on or off each of the items in the blocks on the left side. (like Karma, IP address, etc.)

Not at all. But I couldn't understand the avatar issue.

What I meant is that in your coding for the avatar display in the News section it is set at a static number of pixels (80px maybe?). What I suggested is that it checks to see what you have your maximum avatar size settings at in the $modSettings array and set the width of the <td> to +10px larger so that all avatars will fit in that area instead of just the default size avatars (some of us like to use larger avatars for our members, mine is set to 100x100 for example).

This is what I have it set at in the SPortal.template.php

Code: [Select]

if($modSettings['nshowavatar'])
// $modSettings['avatar_max_width_external'] a setting to set the width by.
// the code below simply adds 10 to the width setting so the <td> will be large enough for the avatar and have some padding.
$avatar_max_table_width=$modSettings['avatar_max_width_external'] + 10;
echo'
<td width="', $avatar_max_table_width, 'px">', $news['avatar']['image'], '</td>';
echo '
<td>

Hımmm, I understand. I'll add this also. Thanks.

Soon comes the SMF Gallery Random Picture Block.

Brilliant!  Thanks for the add!

Awesome!  Can't wait!

Also, what about a "Game of the Day" add-on (SMF Arcade) - shown below:

I'll look at the arcade also.

This is what I have it set at in the SPortal.template.php

Good, but you have the option "show hide avatar in News" disabled, this way.. or better, it doesn't work..

[denzil69]

this looks like a top mod.

im using 1.1.4 default, would it be possible for one of the blocks to include a numbered calendar thats linked to the main calendar.

block has numbers and month/year in it, when an event or holiday the number shows as a link, when you mouse over it, it gives a brief description for example.

many thanks

EDIT: unable to install this mod;

./Sources/ModSettings.php - test failed
./Themes/default/index.template.php - test failed

Using smf 1.1.4 default theme with a few basic mods installed.

oh well...

This is the correct code:

SPortal.template.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

if($modSettings['nshowavatar'])
echo'
<td width="80px">', $news['avatar']['image'], '</td>';
Replace:

Code: [Select]

if($modSettings['nshowavatar'])
{
$avatar_max_table_width=$modSettings['avatar_max_width_external'] + 10;
echo'
<td width="', $avatar_max_table_width, 'px">', $news['avatar']['image'], '</td>';
}

denzil69, calendar is also in my list. Just some time I need.

You should install the mod manually I think.

[jusplay77]

Thanks for the fix.  I am now able to use avatars on the portal news

[thenerd]

Hi,

Maybe I missed something but is there a tutorial on how to integrate this portal with a theme other than the default? I don't want to use the default theme but would like to use the SimplePortal if possible.

Thanks

[denzil69]

If i upload the mod manually (ie not via the smf admin) wont i still have the errors that are showing on the test as failed?
