thanks.

@FFSFFS,
I don't see any issues with that file, or SimplePortal installed. Can you please install SimplePortal 2.3.1 and then attach that file (updated) if you get that error again?

[DragonKith]

I just recently installed Simple Portal 2.3 and for some reason i cant seem to upgrade it to the newest verison i didn't see a download button on my admin panel can someone help me.


Thank you

@Kimmie,
Do you have an theme with ID 1? If you go to your list of themes in the admin panel, the theme ID can be seen in the urls (like ";th=id", where id is the relevant theme id).

k I must be missing something because none of mine have that. Only place it shows urls is on the Theme Settings page and there are no id's at the end of them. I also went to Current Theme and there isnt an ID at the end of those urls either.

Wouldnt the Default theme be theme 1?

I didn't mean the url setting, I meant the url being displayed by your browser when you view the admin pages. When you view the settings for a specific theme, it should have "th=id" in the url.

The default theme should be at ID 1.

Correct, it is. I have 4 custom themes installed and they are numbered 2 thru 5. I just noticed that the error only occurs when I change to the default theme and then try and view the portal page.

8: Undefined index: 1
File: /home/****/public_html/Sources/PortalBlocks.php
Line: 2155

I dont let my members use that theme, which is why it is only happening under my name (I change to that theme when I need to install mods, etc). that also means that there is a problem with it on that theme apparently. Any Ideas what?

I have this code set for my "home" and "forum" button, but when i click the home button it takes me to the forum. What do i have to change so it takes me to the portal instead of the forum.

Code Select Expand

        // Show the [home] button.
         echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=home">' , $txt[103] , '</a></li>';
           
       // Show the [forum] button.
         echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum">' , $txt['sp-forum'] , '</a></li>';

Code Select Expand

        // Show the [home] button.
         echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '">' , $txt[103] , '</a></li>';
           
       // Show the [forum] button.
         echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum">' , $txt['sp-forum'] , '</a></li>';

Change to this.

When I am adding a new block to my portal there is nowhere in advanced display options to make a block display on SMF Media Gallery. Currently the only way I can make a block display on the gallery is if I display it "Everywhere". Is there any way I can fix this? Will you be adding a gallery option to the advanced block display in the future?

You should be able to use the Custom Display Options (Check Advanced after the display option dropdown) and write "~gallery"  in the text box. That should display the block on the gallery pages.

Tried that, but unfortunately its not working either.

@DragonKith,
You have to download SP 2.3.1, then upload it using the package manager. Then there should be an 'upgrade' option next to the SimplePortal 2.3.1 package in the package list.

@Kimmie,
I am unsure what is going wrong at the moment, the main function seems to work fine. Try upgrading to SP 2.3.1 (if you haven't already) to see if that fixes the issue at all. Otherwise, I can try to debug it on your site.

@PRaDiUS,
Try '~action|mgallery'.

[PRaDiUS]

That worked like a charm. Thank you much! = )

@PRaDiUS,
Try '~action|mgallery'.

Simple Portal 2.3.1 increase my database usage very much!
Before I was with tiny portal with lateral bar and shoutbox, now i passed to simple portal and I see an increase of queries....

Report below the last statistics, how you can see sice 30-10 there is an increase... :-( I hope the future versions are more optimized.

@marcimila,
What version of SMF are you using? If you are worried about the shoutbox, then the shoutbox for SMF 2 uses caching to reduce the load.

We are certainly going to try and optimize SimplePortal as much as possible, although if you have a huge number of blocks, then there is little that can be done to avoid some increase in db queries.

Got these two errors after I added a php script to a block.
Any ideas?

@LadyChaos,
Can you post the PHP code? That is likely an issue with the code that you added to the block.

You shouldn't need to post the intro and trailing <?php or ?> codes. Those are automatically inserted by the php block's rendering code.

[Nathaniel]

Okay, so that code doesn't even have 30 lines, I guess it isn't the problem.

The 'eval' message makes it harder to work out where the real issue is, can you disable template eval temporily?

You can 'Disable template eval' via this mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2054

Or you can run this db query:

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO smf_settings VALUES ('disableTemplateEval', 1);

I removed the intro/trailing tags as you suggested right now. Still getting the same errors. 

Good to know for later use though.
