ezPortal

EzPortal is great. I like the setup & layout, as it's looking very awesome. However, I do have one minor problem.

I'm getting this in the error log

Code Select Expand

http://generation-now.net/forum/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=addshout
8: Undefined index: shout
File: /home/generati/public_html/forum/Sources/EzPortal.php

http://generation-now.net/forum/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=addshout
Unable to load the 'main' template.

These two happen to appear at the same time. This only seems to appear, when the shoutbox is active. When there is no shoutbox, then this error doesn't occur. Thing is, I see no visible issues or problems, other than the refresh time for the shoutbox doesn't work. Despite a time being set for it to work.

I'm using 1.1.11 btw.

Will look into that issue should be an easy fix for next update

[DarkValentine]

Cool thanks. It's probably just a syntax out of place on that line.

Fixed the two error logs for the shoutbox for 0.3.6

So far, I am really wanting to use EZPortal with SMF for my website.

The problem I am having is getting blocks to show on the pages I have made using the page manager other than the Portal Homepage.

I have been trying to make custom actions, but just am not getting it. So far, I have created several that I can not delete.

I can not find any info in any of the tutorials I have read or the boards searched. I must be missing something really easy.

I haven't add support yet for showing blocks on pages that should be added to my todo list shortly.
Also working on improving documenation for 2010

[Kentarre]

Thank you!! Now I know I am not insane!

Being able to add blocks to created webpages will make this portal incredibly powerful. I am looking forward to that upgrade and will be watching for it.

I'll try to figure out a work around meanwhile.

[vbgamer45]

If you need I can probably add something this weekend that will support that feature.

[Kentarre]

Oh yes please if that wouldn't be too much trouble.  I was considering going through all your files to find the code for the visible options and see if I could add something to the code itself.  Maybe add visibility checkboxes for page 2, 3, 4, . . . etc (at least 10-15 pages) since page numbers are already present in the code.

The version of SMF I am using is 1.1.11 which is what my web hosting service provided as an installation package.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This I volunteered to do to increase my skills. Next, I'll be making a neighbor's site for her books she is writing, then my own photography business.

Hands down, you are incredible!

Glad to help got two updates for ezPortal this week!

[Kentarre]

Two more requests but they don't need to be done in any hurry.  I've worked around them and my site is doing quite well. These things could just make page construction easier for everyone.

1.  Remove the requirement for content on custom pages.
2.  Add the html editor on the custom web page builds to the html EZblock.

Once again, thank you!

[vbgamer45]

For #1 you have empty pages?

[Kentarre]

sure do, am using the blocks themselves for content. Keeps everything very uniform looking.

[Kindred]

just add a non-breaking space character...   that will add content but display blank

How to put size for right and left block?

I want them to bee 175px.

[vbgamer45]

Click on the edit column link in the ezblock manager that changes the width of them there.

I found out something pretty cool, thought I'd share it if anyone was interested. I been trying to get a Content Rotator Block working, and EZPortal did it no problemo.

I just created a html ezblock, and inserted the code from the 2 blocks of code at the link below, into it.....

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentslider.htm

Upload the 3 files to the root and its done.

I did change the content rotator css block size to percentages for size.
And added the full URL of the 3 files I uploaded into the script...

Basically 3-4 blocks of whatever I wish,  rotating in 1....I used the top left rotator box at Dynamic Drive....Quite a Space Saver!

Click on the edit column link in the ezblock manager that changes the width of them there.

I cant find anywhere how to change width... how to do it...
