When I first upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 I ended up with double blocks on the right and left sides (e.g., 2 Who's Online, 2 Quick Search, 2 Recent Posts, etc). I went into the Block Configuration and it showed only 1 block - there was no 2nd block to remove. I tried to uninstall the 2.3.2 addon and got error messages that Test Failed on several files and wasn't able to uninstall.  I did delete the 2.3.2 files though.

Right now under Admin/Browse Packages, 2.3.1 is showing as the current version and the Portal is not working. I cannot uninstall 2.3.1 because it says there is no uninstaller.

Any ideas on what I should do?

That happened to me too, except I spotted it early, seems that one of the edits were duplicated, added twice, just removing one should fix it.

Thank you!

I'll have to take a look at that, after I get rid of or replace the messed up files that I have now. Where did you see the edits duplicated?

UPDATE:  It's all better now! I removed the 2.3.1 pkg and deleted the installed.list and I was able to do a fresh install of 2.3.2 and no errors and things are now working as they should.

thank you all!   

You may have to go through all the files manually. This is generally what has to be done when you receive a Test Failed message.

When you first upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 were there any errors in the log?

kk, I think I can do that. The only errors I saw were from the Admin.php file. I replaced that file with a fresh version and the error messages have stopped.

It depends on what you had duplicated, it could be one, it could be all of them, if you use the parsing page on the mod site you can check the edits and see if there are any duplicates, they should be easy to find.

Keep getting this error each time portal page is loaded..

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined variable: year
File: /home/xxx/public_html/forum/Themes/default/SPortal.template.php (eval?)
Line: 228

Using SP 2.0.4 

Line 228

Code Select Expand

$title = $txt['months_titles'][(int)$month].' '.$year;  //This is the SMF Text string, so it should be corrected for ut8 or iso

It's related to the custom calendar block you have. You can request support here:

Ah, are you using SMF 2.0 versions? How does it look in Curve theme?

Im using SMF 2.0 RC1.2 - I cannot update at this time as some mods I use need to catch up 1st.
I don't have curve.

It seems this version of the mod (2.3.2) is not "non curve" friendly
EDIT:
Installed 2.3.1 and it works correctly

Well, it is. You can use 2.3.2 with this edit:

Sources/Subs-Portal.php

Code (Find) Select Expand

$clean_forum_version = $forum_version;

Code (Replace) Select Expand

$context['SPortal']['core_compat'] = 'old';
return;
$clean_forum_version = $forum_version;

I would suggest sacrificing those mods for the sake of security though.

Hi [SiNaN],
Do you have any idea why the shoutbox on my forum doesn't refresh?
I've checked all the settings many times. The installation of SP went smooth, i had no errors and everything functions like a charm except the shoutbox and i've really no idea where should i search for
possible reasons

[[SiNaN]]

You seem to be using a code for adding StatCounter javascript code. It replaces all </body> code in the page to add that code. Shoutbox XML pages have </body> tags as well, so it brakes the shoutbox. Are you using a mod for that or is it a custom code? Can I see it?

[parvaz]

I don't use a custom code.
Perhaps it's a mod.
One thing makes the issue stranger: for experimental purposes and testing the mod's functionality and compatibility i use another forum with exactly the same constellation of mods, themes and settings as my "real, main forum". And on this test forum the shoutbox functions!

[[SiNaN]]

There is a mod or custom code on your forum that replaces </body> code in the page with StatCounter javascript codes. I wouldn't know what it is.

[parvaz]

Thank you [SiNaN].
How can i find out, or where, in which files do i have to search for the code or the mod causing this trouble?
I mean if it is a mod replacing </body> code in the page, in which file is it installed? so i could search for it, indentify it, modify it or whatever? in source/subs.php maybe?

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Well, it is. You can use 2.3.2 with this edit:

Sources/Subs-Portal.php

Code: (Find) [Select]
   $clean_forum_version = $forum_version;
Code: (Replace) [Select]
   $context['SPortal']['core_compat'] = 'old';
   return;
   $clean_forum_version = $forum_version;
I would suggest sacrificing those mods for the sake of security though.

I tried this and nothing changed...

Its the admin area that's effected, everything else works fine.

Sinan i removed and deleted my calender block, same problem

[Eudemon]

first of all, thx for ur great portal mod

i have a problem with the auto-resizing
when i enable the resize in admin control for the forum
the resize on the portal won't work
how can i fix this for the portal, if i want to keep the resize on forum

also another one, if i enable max number of topics on the forum news
it shows the second page button but when i click on it, it leads to a blank page

[parvaz]

HI [SiNaN]!
You were right! It was a Statcounter code, either placed by me nor a mod but the host.
I write this here for the case someone has a same problem: some hosts add a Statcounter code which interrupts the </body> tag used in shoutbox xml and don't let it to refresh.
I asked my host and they remove that damn code. Now my shoutbox works like a charm.

Thank you [SiNaN]! Without your help i could never solve the problem.

How do I remove or edit the Welcome to SimplePortal thing?

[adbrad]

go to admin>simple portal>blocks
look for the one that says welcome then look on the right hand side and you will see a tick, a spanner and a minus sign
the tick will deactivate it, the spanner to modify and the minus to delete.
Hope this helps

I have simple portal 2.3.2. Is it possible to have the portal inherit the theme of which the user chooses to use?

By default it's Curve, but when I switch to a color variation of curve the portal remains blue. I can switch it for everyone, but again, is there a way to make it inherit the theme of which the user decides to use?

[adbrad]

go to admin>simple portal> configuration>general settings and set Portal Theme to forum default then it will take what ever theme is chosen

Hi i have a problem too.



As you can see, shoutbox have a scrolling option. I want that i could scroll down Recent post/topics block too, then i could show more than 5 recent posts and that wouldn't take so much space in my forum. So is it possible to do it?
