o Modified code to preserve error log text from original menu...

o Extended caching time on admin area menu from 2 minutes to 1 day...

o Removed one operation that caused multiple errors with Simple Portal....

Many thanks for the bug reports and solution(s) for the bug reports! I apologize for my late response, but work has been brutal lately and I've been exhausted....

Damn.... ~~Version 1.4~~ EDIT: Version 1.2 does not address the cause of the multiple errors with Simple Portal..... I apologize about reporting that it does. I will work on it some more....

Uploaded v1.3 - August 1st, 2014

Cool, just updated and it... Doesn't work at all now D: no errors in error log

tyniportal is not installed here, installation successful, running SMF 2.0.8...
Maybe I still have the older version in my download folder...

I had a problem with the latest version as well and had to go back to 1.1 ... can't remember the error though ... will try to recreate the problem later today.

I kindly ask dougie if he can post as an attachment one of the previous versions because unfortunately I don't have it anymore in my download folder

and no one is allowed to redistribute it so I can't ask...

margarett · August 02, 2014, 09:13:21 AM

It is allowed to redistributed, yes

Ninja ZX-10RR · August 02, 2014, 09:19:17 AM

Oh gosh, my bad I have misread the post, I was reading another license agreement =_= Indeed creative commons allows redistribution so anyone is free to redistribute it with no troubles. Cool.
In my defense I had troubles once for redistributing a mod included in a package and I didn't have the rights to do it so that's why I am so careful about this. Thanks margarett for waking me up xD

It's on it's way to you then.

It would be VERY helpful to know what the problem is..... As for the attachment request, here it is.

D*mmit ... I wish I had written it down. I re-installed 1.3 (which says 1.2 after you install it) and don't see a problem at the moment. Will leave it in for awhile and see if I come up with the problem I had again.

And I would have done this earlier but the wife kept me busy working on my honey-do list.

If the problem is that the Admin menu goes back to the stock admin menu when you are IN the admin area, then that is on purpose, mostly to prevent the menu from repeatedly been recached and rebuilt every page load. I don't have any ideas how to stop this from occurring.... (yet)

Confirmed that there is a bug in v1.3 (and probably v1.2).... I'm looking into it....

Uploaded v1.4 - August 2nd, 2014
o Corrected some bad caching code in Admin.php....
o Reverted some code back to allow admin top menu to be rebuilt while in the Admin area

So far so good.

This is the joy of modding, finding ever more complicated and tricksy variations to have to patch around.

Nice job

dougiefresh · August 03, 2014, 08:48:09 AM

Thanks..... It ain't been easy, especially with all the other $#@% that's been going on.....

Welcome to modding a monolith environment. There's so many edge cases it's not even funny

Keep it up dougiefresh. You got skill and talent. You can do it.

As an aside, should you happen to have BK's TopMenu mod installed, this seems to work, with that, which is kinda groovy.

NekoJonez · August 17, 2014, 06:39:42 AM

I'm sorry to say but I still got a lot of errors with Simple Portal, do you want to see them?

This might help you: The errors are dropped because the mod can't find the text strings for the menu. Since the child menu appears empty on my screen. And then is when the errors come.

So, I will take a look if I can't help you with that.

It seems the mod can't find the strings in SPortalAdmin.english.php , maybe there is the problem?
