No HTML. Have not tried articles yet. These are the 5 most recent topics posted on the forum being shown @ the portal. When I was running 2.2 is only showed a summary of the topics, but after updating to 2.2.2 it is showing the entire topic posted. I have not tried it with articles. I haven't even created a category yet, but I plan to. It is a nice feature.

Do you use any [html] tags in your post? Does this happen with articles or board news block?

UPDATE: I think I have solved the problem. It is now showing a summary of topics on the portal and so far my videos do not seem to be overlapping the side blocks anymore. Thanks anyway for taking interest in helping me resolve the issue. If anything else comes up, I will come to you. Thanks again.

In an effort to track down why I was getting the segment fault error (blank page), I disabled several blocks - sorry I didn't have the time to go through them systematically - yet anyway.... I disabled the user info, board stats, arcade stats, and compact recent blocks, and as of right now the segment fault errors SEEM to have ended. Just FYI.

Which blocks in your opinion are the most cpu intensive?

Thanks for hanging in there, I know I was ranting a bit much - at any rate, any frustrations users may have installing simpleportal - is well worth it!

I see you have 1,5+ million posts on your forum. So recent posts/topics queries might be giving a hard time for your server. We use ssi functions to query recent posts/topics for those blocks. However, I can try optimizing them for your forum. You have these errors only on portal page, right?

yes. One of the changes I made was I changed the recent from the compact form to standard... (unfortunately with a few other changes - so I wasn't systematic about it) but since those changes, the errors SEEM to have gone away... but this is a slow period - so I may not know until a later!

[SiNaN] · July 01, 2009, 08:24:30 AM

Both block types use the same SSI function. So it may not help much. In the mean time, I'll look into separating the recent query into two for you to see if it helps.

Does anybody know how to create a button in a SimplePortal custom HTML block?

I want someone who clicks the button to be sent to a specific URL.

HTML below works half, i.e. the button doesn't change color when hovering over it with a mouse (using 2 different rollover images).

Code Select

   <a href="http://www.vintage-camera-online.com/smf/index.php?action=forum" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Nothanks','','/images/1184259649button_0.gif1191570045button_0.gif'>,1)"><img src="/images/1184259649button_0.gif" alt="No thanks - let me in" border="0"></a>

This is a button in the Welcome block, and redirects the visitor to the forum when the button is clicked.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

@qubbah: In the SimplePortal General Settings, change Portal Mode from Frontpage to Integration. You may have to adjust each block's display properties to show up on the Forum after that, though.

Chaos Dragon · July 02, 2009, 02:03:32 AM

Just wondering how do I change the Welcome?

Never mind I see how it is done after I noticed images weren't there that didn't upload during install......Should of checked that right away since it seems to be the norm here...Installs say a ok for the go ahead and next thing I know codes and images or files in general aren't there that needed to be. Any who Sorry about that.
I would like to say though, excellent work. Of all the items I have installed this gave me really no hassle and no manual installing except a few images no biggie. I'd rather just upload a few images then hunt through files and codes to get them working.
Good Luck with everything and keep up the good work.

Try this in an HTML block:

Code Select

<a href="http://www.vintage-camera-online.com/smf/index.php?action=forum"><img src="http://www.vintage-camera-online.com/images/1184259649button_0.gif" alt="" id="my_button" onmouseover="changeimage('in');" onmouseout="changeimage('out');" /></a>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
function changeimage(mode)
{
	document.getElementById("my_button").src = (mode == "in" ? "http://www.vintage-camera-online.com/images/1191570045button_0.gif" : "http://www.vintage-camera-online.com/images/1184259649button_0.gif");
}
// ]]></script>

Try the attached package, SimplePortal_2.2.2.zip.

Which images exactly? If you can provide some more details we can help you solving the issue.

The error message isn't very useful.

Try running this query in PHPMyAdmin (replace 'smf_' with your forums db prefix):
Code Select Expand
REPLACE INTO smf_settings VALUES ('disableTemplateEval', 1);

That should allow us to see where the error is actually occuring, post the error message that SMF gives you then.

You can then run this query to turn eval back on:
Code Select Expand
DELETE FROM smf_settings WHERE variable = 'disableTemplateEval';

It was all the images you would find for the admin panel that didn't upload. It is fine now I manually uploaded the missing images.
Like I said in the last post it is the norm for me to have to do something manually. At least with this one it was only a few images and not having to go code hunting. This is the first one that i installed that I did not have to manually edit the code to get it working. I wish they all did that.

..[cut]..

I forgot to tell you that i'm running a SMF 1.1.9 version.
I can't find that variable in smf_setting table...

EDIT:
I resolved it myself...
It is surely a problem of/from simpleportal, because with no manual changes this error has appeared after SP installation. The problem is that a define is missing somewhere.
The fix was obtained by introducing the instruction:

Code Select

define("N","N");
in index.php (probably there's a very better place to put this code, but I'm afraid to mess up something).

Can someone please explain some of the functionality of articles in SP

Where on earth is the article listing supposed to turn up on the forum? IS there a setting outside to SP CP somewhere I may have missed

I have a category, I have some articles attached to it but where the heck will I find them
