Glad you have it working!

I spoke to soon.  THere is still the portion, $txt[152] .  I'm still trying to figure out what to remove  to keep from getting the syntax error. 

[vbgamer45]

In SMF 1.1.x that refers to this text string

$txt[152] = 'you have';

[Jeff B]

I need to really learn some basic coding. It would sure save some time versus the stab in the dark methods I use now.  Finally got it to run clean.  Thanks again.

echo'
<ul class="reset"><li class="greeting"><strong> ';

echo '
          ', $context['user']['name'], ', You currently have', $context['allow_pm'] ? ' ' . $context['user']['messages'] . ' messages saved to your inbox ' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . ' ' . ($context['user']['unread_messages'] == 1 ? $txt['newmessages0'] : $txt['newmessages1']) : '', '.</strong></li></ul>';

What I did starting out was just look at sample code and make some tweaks. I use pretty much the same set of php commands for all my projects and same basic sql statements. Glad you have it working as how you wanted it.

so erm if i download and install this it will create an homepage for me or i have to create 1?

also after i download can anyone help me install it properly please

[vbgamer45]

Currently you have to setup a layout after you install ezPortal and choose which blocks to activate.

uninstall fails for me and according to another user this theme is causing thousands of errors per day on my theme as im using simple portal aswell, i would like to uninstall ezportal

can you help with this please?

thanks

[vbgamer45]

If uninstall fails you need to get the manual install instructions from the mod site and reverse those and edit the files manually to remove.

[snadge]

thats what someone else said but the SMF Mod section has been changed and there is no PARSE option now?
http://custom.simplemachines.org/area51/mods/index.php?mod=1461

[vbgamer45]

That;s the wrong link for the mod site.

But I have a package parser at
http://www.smfhacks.com/smf-package-parser.html

[snadge]

I dunno how to use them, I was told to use it but god knows how too...lol..
the two fails are saying they cant find the code, im looking in dreamweaver and cant see it either...

in ./index.php :

FIND:

Code Select Expand

// EzPortal
global $ezpSettings;
if ($ezpSettings['ezp_portal_enable'] == 1 && empty($board) && empty($topic))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/EzPortal2.php');
return 'EzPortalForumHomePage';
}


// Action and board are both empty... BoardIndex!
if (empty($board) && empty($topic))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/BoardIndex.php');
return 'BoardIndex';
}
// Topic is empty, and action is empty.... MessageIndex!

REPLACE WITH:

Code Select Expand

// Action and board are both empty... BoardIndex!
if (empty($board) && empty($topic))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/BoardIndex.php');
return 'BoardIndex';
}
// Topic is empty, and action is empty.... MessageIndex!

and in Sources/Subs.php :

FIND:

Code Select Expand


// [Forum] button
'forum' => array(
'title' => $txt['ezp_forum_tab'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=forum',
'show' => ($ezpSettings['ezp_portal_enable'] == 1) ? 1 : 0,
'icon' => '',
),
'help' => array(
'title' => $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

REPLACE WITH:

Code Select Expand

'help' => array(
'title' => $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

dont know if this helps at all

the rest of the uninstall goes smoothly - im gunna back it all up and just uninstall it and see what happens

[vbgamer45]

In those cases just remove the code that was added nothing really changed there.

[snadge]

In those cases just remove the code that was added nothing really changed there.

the codes not there that I can see - so if i follow through with the rest of the uninstall it should be ok?

[Kindred]

just out of curiosity, vb...   why are you using replaces instead of add before and add after?

Replace really depends heavily on exact code being present, while Add before can usually target more generic sections (and is easier to remove if additional mod have been added)

[vbgamer45]

I can never keep straight in my head which way they before and after go. Replace I generally don't change code just add to it.

[BigPain]

HI All,

I added the EZ Block "SMF Random Gallery Images" and when I saved it, I crashed my site. I am unable to log in or anything. I get my login header but everything that was visible in the main body of the site is now just a 2-line error code. (I have changed the actual web hosting provider and site name info for security and labeled them generically, inside xxx's):

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/hermes/bosweb25a/b308/Host.Site/xxSiteNamexx/xxSubFolderxx/Forum/Sources/Subs-MGallery.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.2.17/lib/php') in /hermes/bosweb25a/b308/Host.Site/xxSiteNamexx/xxSubFolderxx/Forum/Sources/Load.php(2167) : eval()'d code(1612) : eval()'d code on line 4

I am somewhat new to all of this and have been doing well for almost a year, but this one has me stumped. I want to learn to work with this before I just wipe it, reinstall and restore so any help would be appreciated.

My main question is: How do I remove this particular EZ Block? Or, if I cannot,  is there a way to modify the file which references the EZ Block so I can once again access the site? Does anyone even know which file to start with so I can remove queries on that file for this particular Block?

Please help!!

[vbgamer45]

Is that the block from ezPortal site? it requires that Avea/Media Gallery installed.

What you could do is in phpmyadmin go into the ezportal_layout_options and delete the last entry.

[BigPain]

I do have the Avea/Media gallery installed and that was working perfectly since August of last year. I was hoping to add the Random Images feature.

Thanks, I will try to do it and get back to you!
