Does ezPortal require any manual file edits to work with custom themes (SMF 2.0 RC3) or will it work out of the box?

vbgamer45

It works will all themes out of the box for SMF 2.0 RC3

Well, it went just fine using the package manager to upload it after we had downloaded to our hard drive. :)
All tests passed.  :D

Suggestions?  Um, an operator's manual.  ;)   ;D

I just have to figure it out.  :P

Yeah I have a guide planned. Mostly you would use the ezBlock manager to add ezBlocks to your forum.

Install went well - no problems at all. Configuration is pretty simple and self-explanatory.

Good job! Thanks for this :)

hellow, im using 2.0 RC3 and i've just uninstalled ez portal, not because this mod is bad. but because i decided to not use portal on my forum. =)
so i uninstalled it and there's no error when i run it. But, when i go to cPanel, i've found "ezportal" folder in home directory. i tried to delete it but it cant. the folder wont removed and still there, complete with it,s content.

then i use cPanel's disc space usage to delete that folder, then appear text said cannot remove because permissions is denied.
i really confused, what perms? because chmod is already 777.

please help me, because this folder is annoying and with 4,78 megs, removed it will be better

hawd,

I have uninstalled, I have some other problems with other stuff.

I also have a ezportal folder. 

Usually, if a folder can not be deleted, it is because one or more file from that folder is being used.

Are you sure that the uninstall is complete?  You can double check by using the parser.


THIS IS JUST A EXAMPLE ------->

Sources/an_example.php

Find:
*this is a sentence

Replace with:
*this is a incomplete sentence

Find:
> the color blue

Add:
and red

<---------END OF EXAMPLE


The way I check, is to go backwards.

I open Sources/an_example.php

then I look for:
"and red"
if it is there, I remove only "and red"


then I look for:
"*this is a incomplete sentence"
if I find it, I replace it with:
"*this is a sentence"


I call this a manual un-install.

If the un-install went okay, and you go backwards, you will not find the things in the files.

Be careful and of course, ALWAYS BACK-UP BEFORE you change anything.

actually, the mod does not remove the folder during the uninstall...    as for manually removing it, you would have to use your cpanel file manager probably... because of the way your host has php permissions/ownership set.

Hello!

I got to know of ezportal just yesterday (from one of the SMF forums I visited yesterday that is ezportal modified). When I tried to follow the ezportal link, the following page says I am a banned user!  :o
Any reasons for this to happen? have you banned any series of IP addresses? I am with Airtel's Broadband service, and it is one of the biggest broadband providers.
Kindly help.

Siirist

Hawd,

I installed ezPortal on a new forum that has 4 other mods on it.

ezPortal installed with NO problems

I set up a front page and some blocks

I then un-install ezPortal with the package manager by going to Browse Packages [Uninstall]

Then I deleted ezPortal with the package manager by going to Browse Packages and selecting [Delete]

Then I logged in to my host, and used cPanel to locate a ezPortal folder using File Manger- > www -> forum

Then I clicked on the name ezPortal and selected Delete.

"Are you sure you want to delete this folder and all files underneath it?"

I clicked "Yes" and the folder is gone.

Be Well,

Hello VBGamer45

I understand the pain with spammers....but does it make you believe that everyone from India is a spammer? I hope not.  May I ask you if there is any way to overcome this issue or to prove to you that I am not a spammer?

Please help!

vbgamer45

Yeah i generally ban russia, india, and turkey due to spam.
