ezPortal

[cubetgio]

Hello,

I'm working with smf 2.0 RC1. I installed ez-portal with some other mods.

My problem is that when i create another links blocks. Every links placed in a block is rewrited automaticaly in the other brand new block just created.

Is there already a solution to that.

Is this using the SMF Links ezBlock that is built in?

Can a few people using ezPortal give me a link to their site so I can see how it looks. Especially if you have customized it in some way. Thanks in advance.

To be honest... as much as I liked this mod, I think SimplePortal has a "smoother" appearance - You can see it here on 2.0RC1 www.f-1chat.com

What's missing? I can probably change it. I am not a designer I can do so much.

two things that I would like to see...

a mini-calendar. (I need to look through 2.0 and recreate the mini calendar that I used to use on joomla modules.... or have someone else do the work. )

A module to display the contents of an incoming RSS feed.

Good ideas will try to get though all them this weekend.
I planning on getting the ezportal ezBlock submission system coded as well.

Damn !!!!, %´$$*-!§,   your are right, It's not ...

[cubetgio]

Hi,

I have tried to upload with ezportal built loader but it don't work.

It 's looking like link module loaded is version 1. ...

The problem remain : links in blocks are duplicated from the first block created to the new one ?

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

Find:

Code Select Expand

   // Robots shouldn't be logging in or registering.  So, they aren't a bot.  Better to be wrong than sorry (or people won't be able to log in!), anyway.
   if ((isset($_REQUEST['action']) && in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('login', 'login2', 'register'))) || !$context['user']['is_guest'])
      $context['browser']['possibly_robot'] = false;

   // Set the top level linktree up.
   array_unshift($context['linktree'], array(
      'url' => $scripturl,
      'name' => $context['forum_name_html_safe']
   ));

Replace with

Issue Solved.


On a personal note from me, I was wondering, can this be incorporated into the mod for new people downloading it  so they don't encounter the issue ever again.

I tried using this fix, and it had no change with our link tree, it still took us to the same page.  Our forum runs on 1.1.8 and we are using easy portal version 0.2.8 does anyone else have a fix or idea to try?

[cubetgio]

Hello

I'm testing links permissions with 1.1.8.

It seems that it's not working when you deny access to a category of links to a specific member group(guest).

The link is opening independently of the fact that you deny access to.

Which block is this for?

[cubetgio]

I'm testing SMF Links ezBlock.

A module to display the contents of an incoming RSS feed.

I  use this slightly modified code that I found on another portal website... Tiny Portal maybe? Anyway just edit the options as needed and put it into a php block. *I take no credit for this code*

[Kindred]

thanks Yahmez,

but I suspect that is code for SMF 1.1.x...

[Yahmez]

That it is

I'm trying to figure out how to edit the look of my EZblock.

In this image:


I wan to get rid of the "header" block (See arrow)

I also want to change the background color of the block. Right now it's a very light blue. I want it to be white.

Can anyone show me where yo edit to make these changes?

Thank you.

[vbgamer45]

Good ideas will try to add them to the next release. It is going to be a big one. Calender block, Rss block, menu block a lot of other cool stuff.
