SimplePortal

[duder673]

I have a question with the portal part of the mod.
I recently added a lot of info to my portal and it overlapped everything on the right side of it.


Is there a way to make it so that the portal block with all of that info resizes when the members are on different resolutions in firefox?

example: It looks fine at 1280x1024 but if it is at 1024x768 it looks bad (overlapping problem).

@Kimmie,
What version of SMF/SP?

@duder673,
Firstly I would recommend upgrading to SimplePortal 2.3.1. Your issue is occuring because you have a whole bunch of '_' in your middle block, use <hr /> instead.

[Nathaniel]

Sorry about the wait for some people. I have tried to answer all remaining issues, please post again if I miss you.

This version have little bug  In the IE blocks have a blank space on the end.

I think that you are referring to the padding for the block. That should be there. If you can post a link/image of the issue, then that would be great. Also which version of IE?

@BoZilla
Wow, did you edit that file with notepad or something? All the code is on the same line, which is never a good sign. Do you have a copy of the file from before you edited it? That would be more useful.

About the member's post, ask them which browser/s they use, and if they can post a screenshot of the issue.

@NBK*Twitch,
What text? If you are referring to the title of the block, then put 'text-align: center;' into the 'Custom Title Style' option.

Still hasn't centered. I even cleared cache to be sure of it.

Can you please post a link to the site where this issue is occuring?

That's weird! Try this one!

Try upgrading to SimplePortal 2.3.1, that issue should be resolved now.

Bug with SP 2.3/SMF 1.1, fixed in SP 2.3.1.

@♪ JohnCcCcCc ♫,
I recommend that you report any Feature requests over at SimplePortal.net, they are likely to be missed here when the devs consider features to add to the newer versions of SP.

if someone enters a URL in the shoutbox I got the following error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in / home / fact / public_html / forum / Sources / Subs.php on line 2004

any idea how to fix or block the url in shoutbox

Help Please

If you have the AEVA mod installed, then could you please temporarily uninstall it, to see if it fixes the issue?

should i just upload the files on the root of the site instead of mysite.com/forum?

No, install SimplePortal via the package manager. Could you please attach your index.php file?

ANYBODY?

I didn't see you support request. Please link me to it, as I can't find it in this topic.

Hello,

For the latest version, where can I find the code for the advanced display option for the shoutbox to embed into boards?
I have a shoutbox on certain boards, but I want to be able to move the shoutbox to the top rather than on the bottom.

after add new shut box, click on the block and go to add block and then choose in bottom shutbox, then in the setting set position

Where is this at? I do not see a setting to set the shoutbox to the top of the board.

Bump.

Can someone atleast tell me where the code is and I can try to move it myself since volunteer support on this board seems scarce.

Use the arrows for the relevant block in the block list area.

Since installing portal iam getting thease errors in admin cp - error logs!!

What version of SMF/SimplePortal?

I would like to give something to think about as a suggestion.


I am sure many of you are aware of Google's custom homepage if you are using Gmail, or Myspace's new profile layout (2.0). Basically, you can add applications or remove applications by rearranging blocks of information on your page.

I don't know how feasible this would be for SP but it would be very interesting and cool if there was a way for individual accounts to be able to "rearrange" the blocks how they would like to see them. Of course having a default, but then they would be able to customize it as they wish.

Good idea? Feasible? Already been done?

Any thoughts?

That is an idea that has been discussed by the dev team, which we will look at implementing at some stage. I think it would be awesome personally.

@DragonKith,
Install SimplePortal via the SMF package manager, you don't need to edit files unless it warns you about install errors.

Well now due to popular demand, my members want the landing page back that SP offers, so I decided to reinstall but I am getting these errors while installing 2.3.1

1.   Execute Modification   ./index.php   Test failed
8.   Execute Modification   ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php   Test failed

The rest of it is fine, but I wonder what I can do to fix this? Both files are fresh core files so I know SP's code is not there anymore. (I did check)

Any ideas?

[mirahalo]

you are using fresh files, thats odd, you could make those modifications manually or, if you want to, attach those files and I will made the edits for you

Well thank you for the offer but I think I will attempt to make the modifications using the parser (as I am enjoying learning to use PHP), if anything comes up, at least I'll have backup files. I'll post any issues I have if any.

Ah, OK, fair enough then.

Well everything seemed to be working fine on modding the files and seeing the configuration area for SP. When I tried to use the option "front page or standalone" and load the landing page, it won't respond at all. The loading is very slow. You can see for yourself
http://www.ladychaosdnb.com/forum/index.php

Now the forum itself loads fine
http://www.ladychaosdnb.com/forum/index.php?action=forum

Did I miss something? I modified both of those files as the parser said to do, it all works fine from the admin area, but not from the index...

I think I fixed it, I disabled the shoutbox (deleted it) and everything loads up fine now... Too weird.

<<< I think I fixed it, I disabled the shoutbox (deleted it) and everything loads up fine now... Too weird.

Good for you for wanting to figure it out yourself. Seriously. The shoutbox block is still there though it's empty. You would have caught it, but thought I'd mention it.

Thank you, haha I just noticed I still had the block there. Thanks for pointing that out.

@Kimmie,
What version of SMF/SP?

SMF 2.0 RC1.2
SimplePortal 2.3

@LadyChaos,
Some people are having issues with the shoutobox. Do you have any BBC mods installed? Like the AEVA mod. Does the shoutbox work if you uninstall them?

@Kimmie,
I can't see any related code on line 2155 of a clean copy of the PortalBlocks.php file. Could you please attach your PortalBlocks.php file?

@LadyChaos,
Some people are having issues with the shoutobox. Do you have any BBC mods installed? Like the AEVA mod. Does the shoutbox work if you uninstall them?

I have two BBC mods, the Aeva mod and the "tips and tricks" spoiler code BBC . I had both the shoutbox and Aeva running at the same time for quite a while without issues, until yesterday when I had to reinstall SP. I reinstalled SP before reinstalling Aeva this time. I still experienced that issue with the shoutbox without Aeva running or even in the smf files.

I had a thought about it possibly being the shoutbox and disabled it and now all is well. I just don't use the shoutbox. I had a similar issue happen with the AJAX chat mod a while back, I stopped using that as well. It just seems to cause a huge server load which I can't really find the cause for since my forum is small and only members can use the shoutbox (or back then the Ajax Chat).

It could just be that my server (since it's private) can't run a chat or shoutbox simply because of the heavy reliance between server/user calls for each message sent.  Performance gets shot to crap.

[gisfreak]

For users that are currently running SimplePortal 2.3; you can upgrade to 2.3.1 using the SimplePortal 2.3.1 installation package.

please explain in detail , i use v.2.3 and want to upgrade it
what should i do ?

should i just simply upload the new packages and install it ?

regards, GISfreak

How many chats do your users post? The shoutbox isn't that server intensive, so I don't think its an issue with performance.

@Kimmie,
Do you have an theme with ID 1? If you go to your list of themes in the admin panel, the theme ID can be seen in the urls (like ";th=id", where id is the relevant theme id).

k I must be missing something because none of mine have that. Only place it shows urls is on the Theme Settings page and there are no id's at the end of them. I also went to Current Theme and there isnt an ID at the end of those urls either.

Wouldnt the Default theme be theme 1?
