SimplePortal

[dd3]

Im having trouble with something. How do I find the board id and poll id out?

[ruckstande]

I panicked because my forum index disappeared. I went to go uninstall but the package still says apply mod. I don't know what did it but it messed up everything.

[ruckstande]

How do I fix this thing? I reuploaded the entire website via FTP from the night before and SimplePortal is still showing in the package manager as "Apply". WTF?

[Eliana Tamerin]

Go to /Packages via FTP. Is the simpleportal .zip still there? If so, remove it, and it'll be gone from your package manager.

[ruckstande]

Okay I gave it the boot. It really messed me up. It seems like switching back to the SMF default theme then back to my custom theme corrected some errors.

[ruckstande]

Nope, I'm still screwed up. I started getting an error in Subs.php which I don't even understand why because this mod doesn't change that.

[Stonycreek]

OK, I am kind of new to SMF and I would really like to try out this mod....  However, I made the changes but when in the control panel and I click on 'portal settings' ---- nothing happens   

Am I missing something?  anybody have any ideas what may be happening on my end?

Any help would be appreciated..

I just installed this on 1.1.5 and it went fine. Then a lot of errors were popping up at the very top of the forum, so I was going to install it again.  I went into admin, clicked on uninstall and that did not work. I got nothing but errors. I went into FTP, packages, and deleted the portal package and that didn't help either.
This is the error I am getting.


Warning: main(/home/admin2/public_html/Sources/SPortal.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/admin2/public_html/index.php on line 59

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/admin2/public_html/Sources/SPortal.php' (include_path='/usr/lib/php:.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /home/admin2/public_html/index.php on line 59


Any help would be appreciated. I am new to all this.

I see there is a backup in ftp that was made before I tried to install this.  I don't know how to get it to that point using ftp though.


After I posted this, I added the sources.php back to the sources ares in FTP. It brought the forum back up, but with same erros the first time...

Which looks like it's a lot to fix? Now I definitely need help!

Hey, i have understand that something is went wrong on your portal installation.

Make Sure that the author or the mod writer will not be available for some day since he had went for this holidays.

Keep working and wait for his arrival to correct it.

[nebulousfluff]

Thanks.  Is there anyone that  can tell me how to restore my forum to the way it was before then? There is way too much script at the top for me to open the board up. hxxp:www.nebulousfluff.com [nonactive]

I will install this later when the author gets back, right now I just want it looking normal again.

[Brenda]

Figured it out....ok, I have 2 online users listed???

[Eliana Tamerin]

nebulousfluff: Look in your /Packages/backups folder. There should be a backup zipped there of your forum's files prior to Simpleportal installation. Download that to your computer, unzip, and upload it to your forum, overwriting your current files. That should solve your issue.

[Brenda]

I have an error in my user box. Its showing Total Messages: 5 and I only have 2 messages in my inbox and none in my outbox. A few of my members are also showing similar errors. Is there something I need to change?

[ruckstande]

Here is a question, I am trying to test this out on my board and it worked fine this time. However there are two things I'm trying to deal with.

1. My board is pretty narrow so things are smashed together. Here is a screenshot. What do I have to change to fix it?
2. Where is the Board Index. I have all of the blocks showing up but I can find my forum in it all.

[Eliana Tamerin]

I checked out the site url in your screenshot and checked out the CSS. You'll need to edit this class:

Code Select Expand

#widthControl
{
width: 770px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 10px 0px 2px 0px; /* top right bottom left */
}

And adjust the width variable. I suggest something in the 900s or making it a percentage-based variable (like 85% or something).

Aww ******, that fixed the width. Thank you big time. Any idea how I can now center my logo at the top?

Now if I can only find the board.

SiNaN very nice Portal ..

I need a change done if you or anyone wants/has time to do it..  $20 (Paypal) to whoever will sort this out..

On Board News I love the way we get a preview of the post ..and want the same "Preview" for' Recent Posts"  ..maybe allow preview for upto the last 3 posts on any topic/thread..?  Allow as many rcent posts as I wnat just dont allow more thna 3 "previews" for any one topic if that makes sense ..So the Portal isnt filled with just one busy topic ..

I would simply not use " Board News "  not really needed for my site .. so that means "Recent Posts" would slide to the Top of the Portal WITH a Preview of the Posts  ..In other words Recent post set-up just like Board News

I am using Default SMF ..
Link to site allowed?

ruckstande, better to ask in Graphics and Templates forum.

Hey guys I'm back again, I have added a few custom portal blocks using the instructions SiNaN gave back a few pages in this thread and would like to hide one of them from guests, this is easy if you want to save the block as php just add
"if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
     echo "
before the rest of the code in the block.
But this time around I can only save as a html block, I was wondering if anybody knew how to hide a html block from guests?

[ruckstande]

ruckstande, better to ask in Graphics and Templates forum.

Thank you, I'll check it out. Do you have any idea why I'm not seeing the board when I use Simple Portal?

Nevermind, the theme I'm using doesn't have a "Boards" tab.
