Code Select Expand


// Show the [forum] button
   echo '
               <li', $current_action == 'forum' ? ' id="active"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum">', $txt['sp-forum'], '</a></li>';



There are also a few other custom edits that need to be made to the index.template.php file.

Thanks man,problem is fixed.

where is the setup option to make portal go directly to the forum?

[mirahalo]

there are three diferent modes of simpleportal, all locate in admin/simpleportal/configuration/general settings:

?action=spadmin;area=config;sa=generalsettings

SimplePortal can run in several modes. This option enables you to select the mode you wish to use. Supported modes include:

Disabled: This will completely disable the portal.

Frontpage: This is the default setting. The portal page will greet viewers instead of the board index. Members will be able to access the board index by using the "forum" action, which can be accessed through the "forum" button.

Integration: This will disable the portal page. Blocks are only usable in forum.

Standalone: This will enable the portal to be displayed at a different url, away from the forum. The portal page appears in the url defined for the "Standalone URL" option. For details, check the SPStandalone.php file found inside the forum root.

greetings!

Hi there
Thanks for the great mod!

I have just noticed a problem though, not a big problem, im quiet sure a little minor code addition will fix it too.

The Jump to Forum drop down menu box, its does not account for the  " index.php?action=forum"

instead when using the drop menu box the address bar just goes to " index.php#c2 " I'm sure its supposed to link to  "  index.php?action=forum#c2 "

any help would be appreciated thanks

Hello!

How to view the forum on the portal

[digit]

Ok thanks for the non response - due to absolutely unreal SUCKO problems related to the external css file, and javascript bs AND erratic signal Segmentation faults, I AM DELETING THIS MOD.

We need a way to rate mods!

FRUSTRATED TO THE CORE.


Ultimately very happy sorry for the outburst!

Hello!

How to view the forum on the portal

Trying switching to the "Integration" mode from SimplePortal > Configuration > General Settings > Portal Mode setting.

Ok thanks for the non response - due to absolutely unreal SUCKO problems related to the external css file, and javascript bs AND erratic signal Segmentation faults, I AM DELETING THIS MOD.

FRUSTRATED TO THE CORE.

Sorry, I've missed your issue as you edited your post and didn't post a new one. This should have fixed your issue:

SPortal1-1.php

Code (Find) Select Expand

$context += array(
'portal_url' => $modSettings['sp_standalone_url'],
'page_title' => $context['forum_name'],
);

Code (Replace) Select Expand

{
$context['portal_url'] = $modSettings['sp_standalone_url'];
if ($stanlone)
$context['page_title'] = $context['forum_name'];
}

Thanks for trying out SimplePortal though.

Ok, well... For the record, I am using it in standalone mode, and am disappointed in the way it embeds the external css file AND javascript files in the forum too!

My forum is ALL screwed up - forms not displaying correctly, as well as the issues mentioned above.

It SHOULD IMHO only embed those files in the standalone version!

I hope that helps fix, what to be honest I liked! (v. 2.0.4 anyway!)

Ok, well... For the record, I am using it in standalone mode, and am disappointed in the way it embeds the external css file AND javascript files in the forum too!

Users still want to be able to display their blocks in forum pages, even when they run the portal on standalone mode. So they are required.

My forum is ALL screwed up - forms not displaying correctly, as well as the issues mentioned above.

Can you provide more details? First apply this edit which fixes a know issue with headers though:

SPortal1-1.php

Code (Find) Select Expand

$context['template_layers'][] = 'portal';

Code (Replace) Select Expand

$context['template_layers'][] = 'portal';
$initialized = true;

I hope that helps fix, what to be honest I liked! (v. 2.0.4 anyway!)

I'm sorry to hear things didn't go well for you. If you still want to use the latest version, we'd be glad to help you sort out your issues.

The Profile Summary page title issue is WHY I manually uninstalled 2.0.4... (it was my only - hard to find - issue with it)...   so to go through a manual uninstall and manual install, just to see I STILL had the title issue, PLUS a whole host of other issues was frustrating to say the least! 

You can see how long I was trying to figure out WHY I no longer had usernames in the profile summaries here.....

MONTHS!

Well, as I said I'm sorry about it. But we never got a report about the issue and as you pointed out it was a very minor issue which is hard to even notice. As you can imagine, we do not put bugs in the mod intentionally to frustrate our users.

I just manually uninstalled 2.2.2 - and am thinking about going to an earlier version - maybe 2.0.4 - unless there is a more recent version that doesn't effect my css (or add javascript doohickies to my forum!)  Let me know ok?

Sorry for venting!

Thanks!

Those CSS and JavaScript stuff is a part of this mod. Saying "they break my forum" does not help us providing a solution to you really. If you feel comfortable with using an older version, no problems here.

Well, the problems were reported by my users....     most of them unreproducible on my Mac running Safari....  well except for the erratic segment fault errors....   I could not leave the mod installed when I had no way to debug it....

To be honest I am going to try to create my own custom portal using the custom action mod - wish me luck!    <-- EDIT: Bad idea.

[[SiNaN]]

Again, thanks for trying out SimplePortal. Good luck!

This is NOT going to be fun...    don't get me wrong - I LIKE simpleportal  - it's an awesome piece of work... THANKS!

Maybe my forum is just a bit too heavily modified! (or MAYBE  for standalone users, the css and js stuff shouldn't be loaded in the forum! - just maybe! ;-))  Isn't there a way to say..... if standalone - don't load that stuff?

[PRaDiUS]

Since updating to 2.2.2 the topics that show up on my portal no longer just have a short summary... it is showing the entire text of the topics. Also it is no longer putting the scroll bar beneath videos that are too large for the square. Instead it seems to be running into the side blocks on the right.



Any idea how I can fix this?

UPDATE: I think i solved the part of the problem with video overlapping side blocks.. Not really sure how thou. For some reason I still can't get the portal to summarize the recent topics displayed rather than showing the entire topic posted. Alot of the topics being posted are just too long to be shown in their full form on the portal. Thank you for any help you can give.

[digit]

ok, I uninstalled 2.2.2, and re-installed 2.0.5

So - put this in as an official request.

I would like to see "standalone" really mean "standalone".

Maybe there could be a new type of SP... "stand-along with forum blocks".

I LIKE what you've done with 2.2.2 ALOT.  I just wish the css and javascript were totally separate from the forum...  in the stand alone version!

Thanks and sorry for venting.... simpleportal is definitely a great product!

PRaDiUS:

Do you use any [html] tags in your post? Does this happen with articles or board news block?

digit:

If you replace the attached file with the one in your Sources directory in 2.2.2 version, it will not load anything in forum other than SP admin area.

VERY VERY COOL!  Thanks!    Now if I can figure out why I am getting these segment faults -resulting in a blank page, I'll be in great shape!

Can I see the error myself?
