TinyPortal

Ah crap, sorry about that. I actually had done that in the first code and forgot to do it on the second one I posted. Glad you saw it. I'll fix my posts in case others try it.

Hello.
You could add the button '+1' (from google), next to the bookmark??

is easy to incorporate in TPsubs.template.php??

Thank you

I'm having an issue from when I updated TP, that my left panel is filling the entire screen. I've tried setting the width to both 150px and even 10% with nojoy..Is there a way of forcing tp back to defaults?

[Dramber]

Sounds like you have a block that is using old code.
Try disabling all your custom blocks and see if that fixes the formatting issues. Then re-enable them one at a time to see which one is causing the problem.

[clashbot]

thanks, that solved my problem, old 1.1x version of a block causing the issue.

Added this to my tracker to add in a future version.

Is there any way to put the portal in a different link? I tried to search around the forum but I have trouble in using the right keywords..

I installed my smf forum in domain.com/forum [nofollow], I want the tinyportal to show at domain.com [nofollow], then only when the user click a link to the forum they are directed to domain.com/forum. [nofollow]

Is this possible?

I didn't think I would use portal before, and I installed smf on the /forum directory.

Let say if this isn't possible, then is it possible to move the whole smf from domain.com/forum [nofollow] to domain.com [nofollow]?

Thank you in advance sorry if I ask a bunch of question at once

[IchBin™]

It's not possible with TP to run it outside of the forum directory. Yes you can move your forum easily. Just move the files into your root directory like you suggested. Then you need to run repair_settings.php.

What is repair_settings.php?

I haven't got time to read a 77 page thread so apologies if this has come up before.

Was using RC5 with Tinyportal 1.102 and the Dino Light v2 theme ..... Upgraded to 2.0 Final . YAY all worked except the theme looked pretty mucked up and TP had completely disappeared ...

Have tried installing TP1.1.04 says it's installed but still everything has gone ...

Have not yet checked database tables to see if articles etc are missing but I backed that up in advance so should be fine.

Any quick answers for me? And thanks in advance if yes.

You will probably see a selection TinyPortal in menubar. Click on it otherwise use [SMF_dir]/index.php?action=tpadmin. If it works it means that TP is installed.

If so, go to Settings & Frontpage: Settings and see if "Use language visibility option for blocks?" is selected. If so deselect it and the blocks will appear. If you want to use language visibility option for blocks you must check the languages for every block. If unchecked no block appears, looks like no TP is installed.

adridoc,

Thanks ...

You will probably see a selection TinyPortal in menubar.

No .. I've been using TP for a good while .. I wouldn't have missed that. In fact I did miss that which was my one of the first signs of real trouble!

Click on it otherwise use [SMF_dir]/index.php?action=tpadmin. If it works it means that TP is installed.

That doesn't work. I just get the forum.

What I did:

1. Installed the small upgrade package for SMF RC5 -> SMF Final. Upgrade finished "successfully", and deleted install files. (I had not disabled any mods prior to upgrading btw)

After this the TP frontpage and all blocks were missing and the Dino Light v2 theme looked very mucked up (e.g. misaligned post profiles).

so I ...

2. Installed TP1RC2 downloaded from tinyportal site by uploading the zipped package and using package manager.

Reported that the package installed correctly ... but still no frontpage and no blocks. .. and no TinyPortal in the menubar.

Packages and installation status now is showing as:

Mod Name    Version    
1.    TinyPortal    1.104    [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
2.    Country Flags    1.1.2    [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
3.    Aeva ~ Auto-Embed Video & Audio    7.1    [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
4.    DeInCreasePostBox    1.5    [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
5.    Customized Profile    2.0    [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
6.    Skype Profile Field    1.1    [ Install Mod ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
7.    AjaxChat Integration    3.0    [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
8.    Addthis widget in first post    1.0    [ Install Mod ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ]
9.    TinyPortal    1.102    [ List Files ] [ Delete ]

Thanks for your suggestion but no joy ... have had to resort to using the default curve theme to get basic functionality at the forum.

Sounds like a server permission problem. It's not allowing the proper edits, or maybe even putting the files where they are supposed to be. Did you look to see if the mod installed properly, even though the package manager reported it that way?

[Matthew-me]

Brad,

Thank you again for your support.

I'm not too sure where all the files should be (for TP) but the permissions on the small upgrade for RC5 to gold worked fine. At a brief glance things seem OK ... I have 3 folders::

tp-files, tp-downloads, tp-images - all with file permissions 755 and the files inside are all at 666.

Is there something I can look for in the SMF code that will definitively answer whether the install worked? Does the install clean up after itself? - There is no tp-upgrade or tp-install file lingering ... that I can see ...

If I uninstall and then reinstall will I lose all articles? (i.e will that delete the tables from the DB?) .. And if so can I pull the data from the pre-upgrade SQL dump (done from within SMF)?

Or do you have a better plan of action? (I suspect you do )

Matthew

[Matthew-me]

OK .. I've looked at the manual parse install for TP on SMF 2.0 final ... and the code is not in there ....

[IchBin™]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Wish I knew what causes this issue on some servers. I've never seen anything that has fixed it for everyone. Seems to be different things for many. At this point, I can only suggest you manually make the edits to get things working.

[agridoc]

I believe that, as it is now, a LARGE upgrade to 2.0 final is needed, it will clean all SMF files. TP and other mods must be installed again. TP tables in database are safe. You reported that you have backups, so give it a try. More work than a small update but clean results

As you describe. the problems started with small update. so it's quite probable that problems might exist in SMF installation.

I have never used a small update, either patches or large upgrade.

Hello. I'm looking for some help with the following error I receive when trying to comment on an article.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's!','great story max','1','article_comment','1311114886',14)' at line 2
File: /home/monster/public_html/forum/Sources/TPmodules.php
Line: 155

I'm using SMF 2RC3 and TP 1.101

[IchBin™]

You really should update your installs. Several security fixes have been put in SMF since RC3 (not to mention final is out). Also, TP has had a security fix since that version. If you don't want to update, please attach your TPmodules.php file, as well as show me an example of what you are trying to use for a comment. The reason I ask for this is to see if comma's or apostrophe's affect your problem.

[fmofmpls]

Thanks IchBin for your quick reply. Yes, I know I should upgrade my installs, and I plan on doing so. Just not ready yet. I've got a fairly large forum with over 4,000 members and need more preparation before beginning the upgrade.

My problem with comments left at TP articles also happens at my test forum where I'm running 2.0 final and the latest version of TP. Another database error when trying to use the "delete option" with a comment. But that's not of primary concern right now. None of my database errors involve commas or apostrophes.

I have an established  blogger who is going to be joining my public forum in the next few days. I've invested a large amount of time in building the blog page just for his arrival. His posts will be delivered as articles. It's crucial that the comments feature is working properly.

Here is my attached TPModules.php file. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

[Kindred]

Instead of trying to fix and outdated and insecure version, you should spend your time getting the upgrade done,  I have a site with 32,000 members and it was worth the effort to upgrade ASAP....
