I don't know if this is a EZ Problem or not, I have tried changing the settings but I have not been able to find where the problem is.
I am using 2.0.18
The only thing I can think is, I did something when updating the CSS for the banner centring.
I don't think that could have caused it but still trying to understand CSS I would have thought it would be in one of the templates but again just learning PHP.
What I want is the image of Toyah we'll not that one lol to be able to show above the Topics list and then above the topic/replies.

Does anybody have any ideas I can try thanks mick
When you're in the process of installing mods, it shows the option to install on other themes.

Sorry mick I don't understand, This is a old problem I've been trying to find the cause of.
Adding another theme may solve it??
Not necessarily. When you upload mod, it will show the option do also add it to other themes [tick the theme you're currently using]. Also, if the theme you're using has its own messageindex.template and boardindex templates, then you would have to tick that theme when installing mods. If you're theme doesn't have these files, don't worry about it since it uses those templates from default theme and should install
Further more...I'm not familiar at all with ezportal but i would think it offers center html blocks top and bottom correct?

Thanks Mick, think I understand now I'll download those files and backup then replace with a 2.0.18 theme hopefully that will correct it.
Ref: EZ It does as it did work, as remember doing it when it was a creataforum hosted forum
thanks mick
Go your profile, and change your theme. Use Default and another custom theme and see if that block appears. If it doesnt, then it may be a mod issue but if it is working, then it's a theme issue more likely on messageindex template

got it thanks
Just checked when site was moved all the themes seem to have been missed except the default which is what I'm using.
I'll see if I can find a Theme to install but think I'll back the whole thing up first.

Thanks just doownloading a freash 2.0.18 install will use the default them from that can I rename it?
Now.... go to the default theme selected from your profile. Doing this, it does not affect your users. Theyre still on the custom one. Anyhow,...Activate a HTML block and put your picture or whatever. Look for it on the boardindex and where it's missing. The Message index. ....tell me what you see; nothing? Rabbits?
Dude.
There was no need to install fresh files. You dont even know where the culprit is.
If you're doing everthing new, install your themes first. Then your mods.

Bring Crayolas and paper
I'm showing two but but they don't change on preview Taken screenshots
They look the same??
The forum looks to have Pretty url's or something similar installed. Board index has a standard url, but the board in question does not. May or may not be relevant.
Are they showing on Default theme? 3rd time I said this.

This was like this before the move as it's one reason I moved it as wasn't able to sorting as didn't have file access.
Alright...
Let's try this.... On default theme you said that the html block is showing, correct? Ok. Good, that's good sign. Now, Let's figure out the message index page on your custom theme. Let's rename the messageindex.template.php something like messageindex.template.php77 or whatever. I use numbers, easy for me to remember.
Go to your forum and hard refresh your browser. You see the block on message index?
Please don't tell me you're doing this from Admin in your forum.
It says unable to load file
No Im in my cpanel
This is most likely a block permissions problem (ie: an admin setting).
Quote from: Mick. on August 28, 2021, 04:33:27 PMAlright...

Nope. His default theme has been edited to hell and back, to make the forum default that guests see. IOW, the black and red theme is theme=1.
Changing template names on that will obviously give the error about unable to load file.
Ok cool.
Yes, I saw that. I'm refreshing your page and see the changes.
Ok, rename it back to original.

Hey I was looking at your raw page and didnt see any center blocks on there. Just the left ones. Like @Antechinus said, it may be a permissions thing?

Sorry lost now i'll check the view perms though
Hey, I just ran that board through the W3C HTML validator. Interesting results: 60 Errors, 59 warning(s).
Anyway, the centre portal block is not in the markup at all.

Ok....Now that anything installs on your custom theme it's safe to say that your messageindex.template may be missing the Ad code for center blocks.

EZ Portal does not require any template edits for installation. So no, that would not be the problem.

Most of those vaildation errors are very simple to fix. Basically, one error can generate multiple messages, so the number of things to fix is a lot less than 60.

Yup. I just parsed it. Looks as tho it is modifying the boardindex but no messagae index. Two things; Boardindex is missing the edit or for sure a permissions issue.
These are the perms for that block?
You have this bit on BoardIndex.template?
// EzPortal
if (isset($_REQUEST['action']))
{
if ($_REQUEST['action'] == 'forum')
{
$context['robot_no_index'] = false;
}
}
// End Ezportal
// Retrieve the categories and boards.

It's modifying BoardIndex.php in Sources, not the template. And if it was missing that edit the portal would not work at all on the forum home page. It works, so not the issue.
Just searched for // EzPortal and nothing found
Know what? That dont matter. I looked at the code and its not what i was hoping.
@Ant. Indeed.
Yep found it in board index I'll compair

It would help if you could use sentences that are not a nightmare to parse.
Anyway, block content. Try this:

We know the center blocks are screwy. Well, they're missing. I think this is a vbgamer issue. I can't tell what is modified. vbgamer has to know it.
Have your tried that other mod Global Headers Footers for the time being?
OK, working now. Although I don't know why you are stretching a 100x94 image to 150x150. Still, it shows up as it should.

I don't think it's going to work how you want it. That's "global", shows everywhere.
Guys: that centre block was showing up perfectly as a bottom block a few minutes ago. Why is there an issue?
Nope just checked It only shows on the portal homepage can any body try see if they get same issue with EZ portal install.
If not I'll inslall another copy to play with

Then it is a permissions issue. Does EZ Portal allow setting blocks by board, or by child board?
This really belongs in the support thread for EZ Portal.
Just updated to show on top I'll look again thanks.
edit added a second block from home page set to show everyware no luck
See down the bottom, where is says "Visible Areas - Update visible options"?
That is the bit you need to be messing with.

Actually, ask him to supply the edits for message index. That they're missing? But break it down with him about everything we went thru. Chances are he's not going to read 6 pages here.
