Topic: Portal Question

[FrizzleFried]

Do any other portal options offer a MAINTENANCE MODE like SimplePortal does where you can install the portal,  turn on the maintenance mode where only admins see the portal so one can set it up before "go live"  rather than going live and then setting it up nicely...  I can only find that option on Simple Portal ...

Thanks!

Are you having problems with SP?

[FrizzleFried]

Actually... 3 of the 4 majors install with issues... 2 of them minor "button" issues (I modified the button code so it errors out) which is an easy fix for me and then SMF which errors out with a number of button issues (no problem) and one issue that caused me to look elsewhere...

when it searches for:

Code: [Select]

if (empty($parse_tags) || in_array($code['tag'], $parse_tags))
$bbc_codes[substr($code['tag'], 0, 1)][] = $code;
}
$codes = null;
}
It errors out.  I found the code as been modified... not sure which mod did it but it has been modified... this is what i currently have:

Code: [Select]

foreach ($codes as $c)
$bbc_codes[substr($c['tag'], 0, 1)][] = $c;
$codes = null;
So I am not sure exactly what to do.   Rather than overwrite the code and hope for the best I was looking at other options.  I like TinyPortal but I'd really rather setup my portal before I go live with it...  and I am not sure what to do with Simple Portal at this point.

When i attempt to install Simple Portal via the package manager I get some errors... I posted them above.  Nevermind... back to my original question...



Does anyone know of another portal that offers a way to set it up prior to going live like Simple Portal?

Thanks!

Which files are the errors from?

You can always ask on www.simpleportal.net OR their own support topic.

[FrizzleFried]

Sorry... subs...

When I click that link I get:

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry, but the modification could not be parsed.

Try it on 2.0.1

[FrizzleFried]

I am getting that error when I click your link... I am confused now...



How can I click your link using version 2.0.1?

[TheListener]

Go to the mods page.

Below the mods download is a parse button.

Choose 2.0.1 on the list.

What am I looking for?   I think we are not on the same page or something.

I know that it throws out an error when I attempt to install... and I know why (it can't find the text string posted above)... I just need to know WHERE/HOW i go about installing the code that is supposed to replace the code that isn't there... being that the code that isn't there has been previously modified.

I've asked the question in the proper support thread.   

Thanks.

Now... does anyone know about my original question by chance?

If you want I can take a look for you.

Go here http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104  Look to the right hand side of the page

Choose your version of SP, and your version of SMF, then click the parse button.  It will show you what edits need to be made to which files. 

And your original question.  I know Tinyportal doesn't have that option, but you can set your blocks up without anyone else seeing them, except for you as admin.  Guests and members etc will however have a rather bare front page until you make your blocks live.

Yeah,  I was hoping to not even show that a portal was active until "go live"...

As for the edits.  Thanks,  but I am aware of the edits needing to be made.  The problem is that one of the edits needing to be made (a REPLACE edit) searches for a string that isn't there anymore... as it's been modified... because of that,  I am not sure where to put the edit or what to replace (since what is supposed to be replaced isn't there any more)...

[Kindred]

You're going to bump into that. You need to find the target line, and use human knowledge to make the edits work together.  Mostly, it's not actually that difficult to figure it out.
