well, if you have aeva installed, I would think that you need to be calling subs-aeva, instead of subs-mgallery... so, I assume that you took an ancient code clip instead of a recent one...

[BigPain]

Oh.... My... God!!!

FANTASTIC!!!!

It worked! Took a few minutes to load after I deleted that entry, but it is back up!!

Thanks a TON for your help. I have spent three days trying to figure this out and was desperate. Thanks again for your help!
Now I think I will not attempt to add that particular EZ Block again because it has failed in many ways over the past 5 months.

Glad we are able to get fixed

This is good information moving forward. I will look for an updated download and try again. At least I now know how to 'undo' what is done in case of errors.

It's not the download that needs updating; Mgallery is the old internal name for Aeva Media.

Ummmmmmm....  Those spots already exist as block locations....

Ummmmmmm....  Those spots already exist as block locations....

it is? please post here the path where can i get those.

[MrNicotine]

I would like to update to 0.6, but it would actually be less work to follow the parser instead of backing up all my blocks
I'm not sure if I can simply update or do I have to uninstall first?
Is this possible or would I run into problems?

[vbgamer45]

You can simply update you do not need to uninstall and reinstall.

[MrNicotine]

Ow, that's great.

Thanks, VBGamer

[vbgamer45]

No problem glad to help

So, I've been running EZPortal on 40konline for several years now...

but today, we decided to try making the site a little more interactive/friendly.

I added content to the right column... and moved some stuff around in the main column/front page.

Then we decided to move the forum up to the root of the site...

that's when it all went to hell.
The ezportal is all screwy. For some reason, on most forum pages, the center column has a HUGE space at the top...  and I can't figure out where that is coming from...

[Kindred]

I don't know what caused the problems to start with... but I have fixed them

one thing...   the content appearing far down the screen was due to the fact that the table/row/cell for exportal did not have a valign="top" in it.

but now there are some other issues.

the biggest is that EZPortal is NOT respecting my visibility options.
I have added the mod actions for several mods, including the ADK Blog mod...
However, ALL columns and Blocks are appearing in the ADK Blog, even though I have the blocks set to appear ONLY on the portal homepage.

[vbgamer45]

Will check it out over the weekend. Bah I had posted a reply to your last post above it looked like their was a space in the area of theme looks like that reply was lost or did not get posted.

[Kindred]

additional note...  if I set ANY value for the visibility of the column itself (instead of individual blocks) the screws up the layout

i.e. I set Center to portal only. I set right to portal & boardindex.
the left column then shows, spread across the entire screen and the content appears under the left column.

you can see the blog problem at http://www.40konline.com/index.php?blog=1833

I would think that this code would be correct...

Looked at your site couldn't find the valign="top" change.
Still looking into the visible actions.

but it rejects it... with the following error message:

Been think about doing a base64 encoding for block html/php downside with that is harder to edit if you had to via database. Upside don't have to worry about quote issues/formatting.
