SimplePortal

[noelchiew]

Mystery solved! I was just tinkering around on my own I just found this out... if I were to enable the portal (while in maintenance mode as I don't want my members to use it yet), the images are all appearing. When I set it back to disable, the images are gone again. So I guess this is more of a bug?

Also after doing the above, all the errors don't appear anymore except for this:

Guest
Undefined index: cannot_sp_moderate
File: ...forum/Sources/Security.php
Line: 764

Which I found out to be Google when I checked the IP as I was curious why a guest would be causing this error. I don't think anything can be done about Google, I too get other errors from Google, I think it is just crawling the web? Maybe this 'bug' will be taken care of in the next version of SP?

Thanks for the help, appreciate it!

It should be something like this:

Code Select Expand


<meta name="description" content="';

if (!empty($context['standalone']))
echo 'This is the description of the portal';
else
echo 'This is the description of the forum';

echo '" />

It is kind of bug. But you wouldn't use portal when it is disabled. So some functions are not loaded. When you are working on portal and you don't want others to see it, just turn on the portal maintenance and it should be fine.

For the error; are you constantly getting this error?

At the moment, portal is now in maintenance mod and I still get errors from 'guests' and when I traced the IP I found them out to be from Google, Microsoft, Yahoo... are these just crawling the web for the web search engines?

I checked my error log again and I am still getting these errors:
When a member views the who's online page:
Undefined index: portal_url
File: /home/cravchi7/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Who.template.php (eval?)
Line: 86

When a member views a member's profile page:
Undefined index: portal_url
File: /home/cravchi7/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Profile.template.php (eval?)
Line: 86

Are these 2 errors actually bugs that happens when the portal is in maintenance mode?

I see. As they won't be able to see the portal, similarly some things are not loaded for them. You can ignore those errors as they won't cause any issues. Once you finish customizing your portal, just clear you error log and you should be fine. This will be fixed with the release which will be out soon.

Ok got it... thanks!

Yeeaah!!! It works!! ..and you rock!!

Now.. another thing..

How can I change the forum name to have something like this:
In forum display "Forum Name", in Portal "Forum Portal"...

I think that the code to edit is this:

Code Select Expand


<h1>';

if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo $context['forum_name_html_safe'];
else
echo '
<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" alt="', $context['forum_name_html_safe'], '" />';

echo '
</h1>


...but I don't know how to add the if (!empty($context['standalone'])) condition, 'cause it already has "if"...

Thanks!!

Now I'm trying to have.. for example.. an about page as in your site: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?action=about
But... not as an action (?action=about) but in an external file (example: about.html)...

Is it possible?

You could create a page with SSI. A sample code:

Code Select Expand

<?php

require_once('path/to/SSI.php');

obExit(true);

function template_main()
{
echo 'Hello! I\'m some HTML code!';
}

?>

How do I add some colour to the main html welcome block?

How do I add some colour to the main html welcome block?

If you are in "Standalone" mode, open index.template.php, find the part you want to modify and add

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($context['standalone']))
   echo '<span style="something">YOUR COLOURED TEXT</span>';

How do I add some colour to the main html welcome block?

Code Select Expand

This is my uncolored text.

Code Select Expand

<span style="color: red;">Now this text is colored red. ;D</span>

Code Select Expand

<?php

require_once('path/to/SSI.php');

obExit(true);

function template_main()
{
echo 'Hello! I\'m some HTML code!';
}

?>

Ook!
And how can I add a condition... example... how can I create something like this: if (!empty($context['aboutpage'])) to use in index.template.php...?

[[SiNaN]]

Code (Find) Select Expand

obExit(true);

Code (Replace) Select Expand

$context['aboutpage'] = true;

obExit(true);

Ook!!
And how can I modify the "active button"? the page shows the "forum" button as active, how can I change it - for instance - to the "search" button (and show it as active)?

Code (Find) Select Expand

require_once('path/to/SSI.php');

Code (Replace) Select Expand

$_GET['action'] = 'search';

require_once('path/to/SSI.php');

How can I add 2 conditions here:

Code Select Expand


if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo empty($context['standalone']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : 'RockCiclopedia';
else
echo '
<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" alt="', $context['forum_name_html_safe'], '" />';

... to have the name "About - RockCiclopedia" for the 'aboutpage'...? I tried with this but it duplicates the names...:

Code Select Expand


if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo empty($context['standalone']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : 'RockCiclopedia';
if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo empty($context['aboutpage']) ? $context['forum_name_html_safe'] : 'About - RockCiclopedia';
else
echo '
<img src="', $settings['header_logo_url'], '" alt="', $context['forum_name_html_safe'], '" />';


Unfortunately I'm not so expert with the syntax..

Really thanks for all the replies your giving to me!!

P.S.:

I am having a problem trying to remove a picture from all the articles. I am not very good with coding and cannot figure out how to delete it. Can anyone help?

Which picture are you trying to remove? If you mean the category image, just edit the category and delete image URL in the picture URL text box.
