SimplePortal 2.3.7

The SimplePortal Team is happy to announce the release of SimplePortal 2.3.7, code-named "Ghost!" This release includes fixes for the bugs found in the 2.3.6 version and is aimed at providing an even more stable portal experience for our users.

We urge all users to upgrade to SimplePortal 2.3.7 as soon as possible to take advantage of the bug fixes. A full list of changes for 2.3.7 can be found in the changelog.txt file within the SimplePortal package, but some of the more important fixes are:

Shoutboxes stopping working on some multilingual installs.
Login form in user info block failing to log users in.
RSS feed block failing on latest versions of PHP.
Block previews causing warnings on latest versions of PHP.
Incorrectly set canonical URL for board index when portal mode is set to front page.
Guests logging in from custom portal pages not being redirected back to the page.

As usual, there is no auto-upgrade option from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7. So, if you are running 2.3.6 or an older version, you can upgrade by following these three steps. You shouldn't lose any data, but for safety, you should always back up before modifying your forum.

Uninstall SimplePortal.
Download SimplePortal 2.3.7.
Install SimplePortal 2.3.7, and you are ready to go!

Thanks for all your support, and keep those bug reports and feature requests coming!
-The SimplePortal Team

Interesting portal. Definitely a good start to one. I would suggest, though, the option to make a frontpage that's just an article or text, instead of including forum posts.

Mmm... the same block's to side by side, mmm... centered like this,

hey my english not is so good i'm in Argentina but may be this image's can say you what I pretend or suggest to you, Thanks

.-

PD: Centered all blocks Like first image

[SiNaN] · « **Reply #6 on:** March 11, 2008, 04:37:19 AM »

You can do that by just editing the sportal.template.php file. But as the height of the blocks are not fixed it would not look good I guess. Which blocks do you want to be centered?

Do not worry. Mine is not good also, I'm from Turkey.

Not at all. If you look at the coding it is very simple and suitable for developing. Just you need some html and a little php knowledge.

Thanks to the both of you.

A serious mistake have been found in the mod. Please change the file attached with the ../Themes/default/SPortal.template.php file who installed the mod before this message is posted.

The package is updated, from now on there is no such an error in the package.

Thanks to Yağız for discovering the error.

Looks good so far, but is there a way to add a custom block? For instance, my front page needs a 'links/affiliates' block.

[SiNaN] · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2008, 11:53:32 AM »

That is, for now, not automated. I think I should write a small guide for how to do it manually. You can do that if you know html and a bit php. Just you should gather the information with the SPortal.php and output it with the SPortal.template.php.

Sorry SiNaN.. I'm not sure about this:.. why we have 2 Online Users fields?

What stands for ['sp-onlineuser'] and ['sp-onlineouser'] ?

Thank you, I'll provide an italian translation soon..

Eliana Tamerin · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2008, 10:01:37 PM »

The second one lists those who are online. Probably something that could be worded better.

Sure... what a mess..

So, first line is for counting online users and the second one lists linked users..

Got it.
Grazie Eliana..

a quest'ora questo e altro..
