ezPortal

[Kindred]

This is a reply to the same question asked by me on SMF Helper from ccbtimewiz,

ccbtimewiz: Alright, I went through and fixed EzPortal's theme_linktree() issue.

Open ./Sources/Load.php
...

Issue Solved.

I am not sure what issue you think this is supposed to fix... but it does not fix the only issues that I currently have with the link tree.

Currently, in the linktree: CATEGORIES link to index.php#6 instead of index.php?action=forum#6
which means that clicking on a category in the linktree causes the system to send you back to the EZportal hompage.

Adding your code causes the linktree to duplicate itself i.e.  forumname > forum > forumname > forum > category > board and does NOT fix the category bug.
Actually, the version of EZPortal that I have tells me to completely REMOVE the linktree code from that section of load.php

Hello
Thanks for you help, but I have the same problem, I understand what you say, it works in the forum, in the page of the Portal nothing at all, one question where can I find the adress of my Portal I think the problem comes from this, I think that I do not have the wright adress of the Portal, is the adress of the Page Manager is the same of the Portal?

[ke4obt]

no, what you should have is:
EzPortal Url: http://www.yoursite.com/ezportal/
EzPortal Path: whatever the full path to the ezportal is (e.g. /host/abc/def/ghi/html/forum_root/ezportal/)
check box: Enable Portal Homepage
make sure the box is checked 

well i hope this helps, as i'm still learning.
just let me know and if we can't figure it out then we'll both learn together, how's that?

Hello
The problem is when I check the box that you speak I do not see the Forum any more only the Portal, the link of my Portal gives me this that I think it is not good, I am sorry for my English because I am Portuguese 
http://www.forumemigrante.com/forum/ezportal/
Very happy with your help thanks

[ke4obt]

filipes,
I just registered on your site as ke4obt.
Just to let you know, this is Mickey - Flip's wife. I speak a little Brazilian Portuguese and some Spanish, so Flip asked me to come and help him translate.
Please approve the registration so I can see a little more on your site.

Thanks,
Mickey

hey flip...   try adding

global $member;

near the top of the function.

ok, Kindred,
This is the wife - Mickey
can you give me the "dummies" version? Which file do I need to edit and where should I look for the function?
Flip gets me into a lot of coding I have NO clue where to start
I'm learning quickly (I hope). But there are still some things I don't know yet. (just act like I know everything and try to fool everybody - he he). Flip's learning to code too, but since he has to rely on his screen reader, it's taking him a lot longer. (he just called me a name because I said "a lot longer" - but he'll get over it. *evil grin*)
So, if you can please walk me through where to put the code, I will be VERY grateful.

Thanks,
Mickey

ps - Flip guesses at the top of the ezportal.template.php with the other global calls. I have no guess. Just to be on the safe side, I don't let him do any "real" editing of files unless I'm home to eyeball it.

[ke4obt]

filipes,
thanks for approving me. After I log in, and try to go to the portal, it tells me "Ocorreu um erro!
You do not have permission to access this page"
How do you have your permissions set up?
How many pages are you trying to get set up? The reason why is we need to know what all the buttons say. For example, on our site, the Portal is the "main" page. The second button is the forum home.
On our site, the buttons are Home (which is the Portal), Forum (which is the forum index page, of course), help (which is the help section) - those are the 3 "default" links in our menu.
It looks like you have those 3 links and then a link to a totally different forum in your menu. When I click on the portal link, I think the link is wrong - I think it should be http://www.forumemigrante.com/forum/ and that's it.
Do you have the SEF URLs activated in your site?

I think that I do not have the wright adress of the Portal, is the adress of the Page Manager is the same of the Portal?

No, in your admin area ez portal admin setings your portal url should be: http://www.forumemigrante.com/forum/ezportal/  .
the url in your button pointing to your portal in your menu should be:
http://www.forumemigrante.com/forum/index.php
and as far as i can tell the portal button is being directed tworeds this url:
http:/   /www.forumemigrante.com/forum/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=1
and the button in your menu labled Início     is pointing to:
: http://www.forumemigrante.com/forum/index.php
do you have the check box under the portal settings checked
to show the portal home-page?
and can you tell me witch blocks you have active,
so i know what should be there?

Flip


if you are still haveing trouble when she gets up we will take another look.

How do you have your permissions set up?
(You have permission to access to the page that you speak.....)

goto modify on your ez portal block and there will be checkboxes with membergroups.

nope.... you should add the $global statement INSIDE the php block with the calendar function.  I am betting that the bad index is coming up because the variable is not intialized within the calendar function.

[ke4obt]

Kindred,
thanks, but that didn't work.
I added the function at the top of the code where the other global things are. I still get this error in my error log:

8: Undefined index: color
File: /Themes/default/EzPortal.template.php(1120) : eval()'d code
Line: 466

.

[sheryltoo]

For some reason I couldn't upgrade to the latest ezportal version using smf 1.1.7 so I decided to uninstall everything and start over.
I still can't seem to get it installed and right now I've uninstalled everything from my downloaded packages yet my forum still says it's being powered by ezportal.
What do I have to do to  make my forum understand I don't have ezportal on it any more?

[ke4obt]

I have v 0.2.5 installed on a highly-modified default theme. I seem to be having a problem doing the upgrade - it keeps timing out. What do I need to do to upgrade to 0.2.6 manually?

[vbgamer45]

It probably is timing out doing the backup of the entire site before applying the mod.
