Wouldn't it be less hassle if people were able to install this as a mod?

[feline]

I's a normal Modification they can installed with the SMF Package Manager ...

Is that a problem for you ?

[TheListener]

Using github is not a favourite of mine.



Is portamx down at the moment? Have given up trying to log on.

* Old Fossil is waiting on support there.

[feline]

Yes .. our server is currently down and I don't known how time it's up and running ...

Very nice to see, feline! One slight suggestion - in SMF 2.1, there are some added options for the Calendar in the Settings page that you might want to implement in the Calendar block.

[feline]

Well ... for now it's enough implemented .. by aware .. it's created in 3 Days 

For more I will wait that SMF 2.1 becomes beta state or more

We have installed a sample Site to see SMF 2.1 and PortaMx 2.0 Virgo in action.

There is no archive to the first post. Only a graphic png file

Go here and click on ZIP:

EDIT: Looks real good so far. really likin it.

[Antes]

Just a small reminder, in 2.1 PacMan is cleaver enough to install mods even they are in a folder.

[feline]

That works also in 2.0x ... 

[Road Rash Jr.]

PortaMx Virgo does not install or uninstall cleanly. It requires manual changes to the /Themes/default/Display.template.php file

That's most likely because SMF 2.1 is under development still.

[feline]

That's true 
Also you have to note, that PortaMx 2.0 Virgo is currently work in progress .. we update the code daily on GitHub. And if we have good and clean code, then we test the install/uninstall on the current SMF 2.1 Alpha/Beta or what else. 

And .. all things we have changed becomes valid for the next Release for the stable SMF 2.0.4.

As we say always .. "Good things come to those who wait..." 

[Road Rash Jr.]

Just observations and feedback on what I have found, nothing more nothing less. If you find the information useful in making fixes fine, if not that's fine too.

[Road Rash Jr.]

That's most likely because SMF 2.1 is under development still.

As this is very obvious to the most novice of SMF users that smf 2.1 is still in development, it hardly needs clarifying.

[Road Rash Jr.]

With the latest update it still requires manual changes to /Themes/default/Display.template.php file and now also the index.php. Both changes are needed for install and uninstall. Just sayin 

I think you have done an awesome job with the changes and additions you've made. I really like this portal.

[feline]

At start of the next week, we will update the Git repository for the current SMF 2.1 ALpha.
We have work hard on all the code to make it fully compatible with 2.1 and add a lot of visual futures in all things (collapse/expand, the editors and mutch more).

[Road Rash Jr.]

Hi Feline, the updates posted today work flawless. Install and uninstall without issues.
Thank you 

[feline]

Yeah .. we have hard worked last night and I think we have many, many problems solved 
It would be great, if give us a feedback .. thanks

[feline]

Very big update today !!

Today we update the 2.0 Virgo with a new HTML Editor ... latest version of ckeditor !
Also we have added a file uploader to the ckeditor, for better and simpler handling.

We fixed a lot of smaller bugs and optimize the code basis and the templates.
Huuuhh .. this was a very long run last night 

For the near future we plans to add this editor also in the PortaMx version for SMF 2.0x.
Also a lot of changes and optimized is planned ...

[FireDitto]

Attempting to install maxes out my CPU, and I get he following error from SMF:

An Error Has Occurred
Could not upload package, please check directory permissions!

The permissions appear to be fine, and I've been able to install a couple of other mods. Not quite sure what's up there

[feline]

You must first download the Zip Archive from Github to your local PC.
Then copy this file with ftp to your server in the Folder Packages.
Now you can install ...

[Road Rash Jr.]

I had the same problem this morning. It would not upload with the Package Manager but it installed fine by uploading via FTP then running Package Manager.

Edited : The package manager is now broke. It will give that error trying to upload any mod.

[feline]

you can't upload packages directly from GitHub in the Package Manager.
That is not a bug ..

[Road Rash Jr.]

No not directly from GitHub but you can download a zip from GitHub and use Package Manager to upload it. Well at least that's what worked until the last few zips.

[feline]

True .. that's what I mean ..

[saosangmo]

hi feline,
This version works well on latest SMF 2.1 Alpha? I see you do not update this topic since more 1 year ago.

[Arantor]

Considering that SMF 2.1 is now officially in beta?

[Kindred]

it probably does not work cleanly with 2.1 beta, since there were some fairly significant changes to to the codebase in the past year and a half.

[feline]

We work currently on a new version they will work with the latest SMF 2.1 BETA.
I hope, we can this develope at start of next year ...
