Specify the width in pixels like: 200px

[MultiformeIngegno]

I'd like to change 'em only in the portal...

Then you can use $context['standalone'] to check if you are on portal or not, and echo content according to that in index.template.php file. Example:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($context['standalone']))
echo 'I\'m on portal page';
else
echo 'I\'m not on portal page';

Mmh.. what do this code do? And in which file I have to put it?

In SPortal2.php I see this:

You should be able to see more than that, no?

Code (Find) Select Expand

// If you want to remove Forum link when it is
// alone, take out the following two comment lines.
//if (empty($context['linktree'][1]))
// $context['linktree'] = array();

Code (Replace) Select Expand

// If you want to remove Forum link when it is
// alone, take out the following two comment lines.
if (empty($context['linktree'][1]))
$context['linktree'] = array();

OK, thanks!!!
It works!

where?

I'm using SimplePortal 2.2.1 and have a question about the "Recent Post" block. Is there anyway to just show the topic that was started once instead of a new one each time someone replies? Maybe just update the topic date and time when there are new replies?

Using $context['standalone'], as I showed in the example, you can hide or show things you want only on portal. In your case, you'll have to edit your index.template.php to hide things as in the example.

Admin > SimplePortal > Configuration > Block Settings

Left side width and Right side width settings.

Yeah, as ディン1031 noted above, Recent Topics block does that.

Thanks to both of you!

The button images (move up, down etc) in my Block List page are not showing. I check the links and they are searching for the image files in my root directory. It should be looking for the images in the theme's images directory since that is where the images were installed (Images/SP folder).

How do I point them in the right folder path?

[[SiNaN]]

Do you have any errors in your Forum Error Log?

[noelchiew]

Oh yes now that you mention it... this is the error:

Undefined index: sp_images_url
File: /home/cravchi7/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs-SPortal1-1.php
Line: 1062

The line there is:
$image = '<img src="' . $settings['sp_images_url'] . '/' . $name . '.png" alt="' . $alt . '"' . (!empty($title) ? ' title="' . $title . '"' : '') . (!empty($width) ? ' width="' . $width . '"' : '') . (!empty($height) ? ' height="' . $height . '"' : '') . (!empty($id) ? ' id="' . $id . '"' : '') . ' class="png_fix" />';

[[SiNaN]]

Do you have portal disabled ATM?

[noelchiew]

Yes that's right... I have it disabled cos I want to finish customising the blocks etc first before revealing it as a new feature to my members

Is that the problem? If I enabled the portal there will not be any errors? I still have other errors actually but I think the one that I posted has to do with the images issue that I have.

The other errors that I have:

Undefined index: portal_url
File: /home/cravchi7/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Profile.template.php (eval?)
Line: 86

Undefined index: portal_url
File: /home/cravchi7/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Display.template.php (main sub template - eval?)

Using $context['standalone'], as I showed in the example, you can hide or show things you want only on portal. In your case, you'll have to edit your index.template.php to hide things as in the example.

So, for example, to modify the "description" meta tag, I have to replace the code with this:

Code Select Expand


<meta name="description" content="if (!empty($context['standalone']))
echo 'This is the description of the portal';
else
echo 'This is the description of the forum';" />


Is it correct?

P.S.: I've selected, instead of "Standalone" mode, "Integration"... do I have to use $context['standalone'] or $context['integration']

[JM2Chen]

I tried to add simple portal. Nice

[MultiformeIngegno]

Is it correct?

Uhm... I receive a template parse error here:
<meta name="description" content="if (!empty($context['standalone']))

syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

P.S.: I've selected, instead of "Standalone" mode, "Integration"... do I have to use $context['standalone'] or $context['integration']

If you have changed to Integration mode, than you won't have a portal page. So you want to hide info on board index?

[MultiformeIngegno]

I'm going to use the portal as my home page...

So I want to modify the info on board index, instead of "MYSITE FORUM", I'd like to have "MYSITE HOME"...
Then I'd like to change also the "description" metatag, 'cause it's different...

I tried with:
<meta name="description" content="if (!empty($context['standalone']))
   echo 'This is the description of the portal';
else
   echo 'This is the description of the forum';" />

...but I think I've missed something...

Looks like it really is simple for you though not simple for me... pun intended.

Come to think of it, since I have disabled the portal at the moment, wonder why these errors are there...

[[SiNaN]]

If you want to disable it while you are custumizing the portal, enable portal maintenance mode. It will make it so that only users who can manage SimplePortal will see the portal. Then you can safely enable the portal. It shouldn't be causing errors then.
