Think i have found a bug.

When in the forum and i am viewing a topic and i click on the main title of the forum section it takes me back to the portal page instead of the thread listing of the forum?

For example if I click on 'Modifications and Packages' in this thread it should take me back to the index of 'Modifications and Packages' but instead it would direct me to the portal homepage?

Is this a known bug?

I am running SMF V1.1.7 wth the following mods:
   
1.    Welcome Topic Mod    1.1
2.    Quote Always WYSIWYG    1.01
3.    Change_All_Subjects    1.0
4.    Last Post On MemberList    1
5.    Auto Embed Video/Audio Clips    4.0.2
6.    Custom Board Sort    1.0.1
7.    last login in post    1.0
8.    nneonneo's AJAX ShoutBox    1.22
9.    Enhanced Calendar    1.1
10.    Last Topics of Person    1.0
11.    Default Avatar    1.1.1    
12.    Redirect on Login and/or Logout mod    0.2
13.    RSS Feed Poster    1.1
14.    Advanced Popup Xbox Gamertag    1.1
15.    Recycle Bin Cleaner    1.0
16.    View Single PM    1.3
17.    Cilickable posts    0.1    
18.    Inline Hover Spoiler    1.2    
19.    PM On Registration    1.0.2    
20.    SimplePortal    2.1.1

Would any of the above be causing a conflict?

Sorry to post this here. I have asked the question elsewhere on the forum but no answers are forthcoming.

I want a frontend for my forum. In particular I want somewhere for users to add articles.

My main concerns are : ease of use and SEO

Is Simple portal the one for me ? also been looking at ez and tiny and the articles mod.

Whats best ?

Well, currently SimplePortal does not support forum-independent articles, if that is what you are looking for. You can only select topics to be displayed on portal as articles ATM.

Currently a new articles feature is being developed. SEO will be one thing we would keep in mind while coding.

And to note; there isn't any portal with articles feature and SMF 2.0 support right now, except SimplePortal. You may consider some integration alternative if you need something more advanced.

Thanks bud!

Is there any reason that was in there - will it impact future upgrades?

I have one more Question - Is there a way to make a forum button? My theme is not built with Tables but it built with CSS and the navigation is built with UL LI tags - I think I saw a way to do it in this thread somewhere but the code was too different to what I have?

At the moment I have made a custom button but when you are on the page the button links to the button is not highlighted? Any ideas?

Here is my code:

Code Select Expand

// the [forum] button
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '<li><a href="/forum/index.php?action=forum" title="Forum">Forum</a></li>';

Can someone point me to proper instructions or point out the correct code? Also do i need to edit anything else other than my themes index.template file?

For the first, I hope it won't, and probably won't...

What's your theme? Can you link to that? If you can't, would be glad if you can attach your index.template.php file.

Ok hi sorry cannot find this questions so here goes.  First, I just uploaded the latest version and never used simple portal before I love it! 

I was making blocks on the left specified max width of 160.  Some blocks were fine, while other blocks would stretch across half my board.  Like most recent topics for example.  Why is it not keeping at 160?

One more thing.  Please see this image and tell me if the alignment looks wrong in the attachment. The left blocks are set up hiring than the boards?  What could be causing this?

Thanks for any suggestions

I can't see the linked image.

Use "Recent Side Block" if you want to show recent posts/topics on the side blocks. "Recent Posts Block" or "Recent Topics Block" is just for the center areas.

oops sorry there is the image

Blocks seems okay to me. Logically, they should be at the left of everything, except the header; and they are... But I'm not sure what is the problem you mean exactly.

[Filipina]

Sorry thought the "latest member" side block should be in line with "news" main block?

Should simple portal display gallery images from this? SMF Media Gallery 1.5 RC 2, Mine does not it says the gallery is empty..

Not sure this is the same issue but if I select "random image" instead of "latest image" for the SMF Gallery it usually says  "Sorry! There are no pictures in the gallery yet. "  I have 4000 pictures in the gallery so not sure what bug is causing this?

Edit - Actually I put an affiliate banner in a HTML box and it has the same problem.  The forum seems to have trouble loading and the image never appears. Strange

This sounds stupid, but look down at the bottom for media gallery, I didnt even see it down there at first, my problem is solved...

[Filipina]

I am using the box one for the SMF gallery.  It seems to have a real problem pulling random images

Just tried showing birthdays. It says there aren't any. Am I missing something?

The theme is this one: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=382

The index.template is attached (mainly because i have made a few modifications to my site manually).

Cheers,

Not really. Linktree is part of forum.

SMF Media Gallery block should be fine. But there might be problems with SMF Gallery Random image. I'll check that.

You use the calendar block?
