i just installed this and it looks great, however after i had menu on side in left using CBT Navigator, and added new catergories to my site, then went back into the block and highlighted the new cats, they still don't show up in the menu, i tried deleting the block and making new but same thing happen.

i also tried clearing browser cache and smf cache.

thanks for your time

---------update LOL

ok after trouble shooting i realized it needed a post to show cat, it would be nice if it showed cat even if there where no posts.

thanks again

Hi!

Thanks for this portal, works great!!!

But there is a small bug in the current release, the portal tries to load a pngfix.js in the Sources/PortaMx/LoadData.php which don't exist on a 2.0RC3 Board.

[feline]

I don't know why that is't more on the archive .. in RC1 is was exist.
But .. if you don't need that you can remove the line from the LoadData.php.

I will check that and fix it on the next upgrade.

Thanks for reporting,
Fel

hello

i installed the mod and it works great but its a bit weird when i log in i get directed to the portal but guest dont
they just go to the forums
i searched crazy to find where i can alter that but pffff i cant find it

can anyone point me in the right direction

www.mmo-cataclysm.com



EDIT

Oops haha eh you have to indeed look into the block settings and see where its showing and where not

sry fixed

[wizzard1]

ok sry for the again post but its got nothing to do with the old

ik really happy with the portal it works great but there is one thing wich i cant seem to alter

its the bar above the first news item as you can see it doesnt line up with the recent topic menu
i added a screen

where in the name of all that is portallike can i get that blue bar away

[feline]

It's the titlebar of the block. This you can disable by set the header to Not show in the Visual settings and CSS classes.

Fel

[wizzard1]

ahh cool thanks but the problem is i dont know wich block it is hahaha it must be "a" block but i cant find it
there was a block (html) news but i deleted that
the rest is just the forums feed


EDIT

after actualy looking a bit better hahahahaha you are a hero
its fixed thank you very much

[feline]

Give the blocks titles, then you can find it later easier 

Fel

[wizzard1]

i see indeed i think i got the picture now with that structure

oh and if i can then i got another question (im on a roll)

on the portal i want to remove from every news post the things like auther and dat etc et in that way that is only
has a title of the post (wich is also the link to the forum post already niceee ) and beneath that boom the post starts

where do i do that i can find my way around php pages (code etc etc ) but most of the time i cant find the actual file to edit it in (or in my way remove it al haha )

thanks already

[feline]

This is in many blocks .. like recent posts, recent topics, new posts, board news, multiple board news ...
What block do you mean ?

Fel

[MATTEK]

Is this a portal itself or a portal add on?

[wizzard1]

This is in many blocks .. like recent posts, recent topics, new posts, board news, multiple board news ...
What block do you mean ?

Fel

haha yeah i should have made the question a bit better indeed ok well here we go
i posted a screen and you can check it at mmo-cataclysm.com

what i want (or better ask to be able to do ) is that in the board news only the title and the news appear so no date no views no auther nothing , as i with my skil on drawing tried to line in the picture

this goes the same for the recent topic block only the name of the topic nothing more in there


ok now we go for the arrows with the big ? as you can see there is a slight cap so that the recent topic block and the board news dont line up anymore
i dont know what makes that happen i think its the old welcome to portal etc etc wich i deleted and replace with 1 press on the spacebar to make it blank instead of removing it in the php files

strangly enough i cant find where i did that anymore pffff dumbas me

abyway i hope you have enough info and are stil willing to help me out on this and btw thanks for the script ofc its really reaaly great and thanks for the support im really glad with that

[feline]

for board news:
Find in /Sources/PortaMx/Class/boardnews.php

echo '
<div class="smalltext" style="float:'.$L_R.';">

replace with:

Code Select Expand


echo '
<a href="'. $post['href'] .'">'. $post['subject'] .'</a>'. ($numpost > 0 ? '
<hr />' : '');



as you can see there is a slight cap so that the recent topic block and the board news

Set you can setup in the block settings (Visual settings and CSS classes).
If you will see a frame, set the inner padding to 0, else set the frame to none.

By the way .. you find more and quicker informations on our support site

I'm planning on installing this this week. I'm wondering if the current information from my current portal will transfer over or if I'll have to manually add everything myself.

[feline]

You have to manually add everything ... all the portals are not compatible

Fel

[wizzard1]

hello again
first off love the portal but i stil cant get it right
i asked it couple of replys above also but it stil wont do the trick
i used another theme and as you can see the midle block wont line up with the right block
how can i do this padding etc etc is on 0 and no frames etc etc

[feline]

You can enable Enable Forumarea horizontal scroll on overflow in the PortaMx Global Settings.
But I think, you theme is't full compatible with the default Curve theme, please check this part in your index.css file..

Hi peeps!

I've used this mod before, spent a good while configuring it then the server died! Agh, so I'm looking to do it all again. Now, I had 90% of people who favoured the PortaMx system but you can't please everyone.

Is there any chance I can have the permission to have the system on as default but also have another option to have it removed?

I've also considered having two installs using different domains but pointing to the same database. I could post on each domain and it would update on the other but I couldn't get it to work with and without the PortaMX!

Any advice....? Many thanks,

[feline]

I don't understand your problem 
If the portal not works, simple uninstall it.
