I have 50 active members at any time, nearly 1 million page views per year ... have been listed at no 2 for the relevant search on google since three days after launch four years ago....

Always keep it up to date and check other security issues ... having your forum hacked is a PITA.

Ichbin - Large upgrade going to clear things up for me? The database is not optimising properly (7/41 tables) .. or manual install and manual clean up of DB? Your advices welcome as always.

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

Try this file out and see if comments work.

@Matthew-me,

I'd highly suggest you do a test install to make sure everything works that you want. TP is in beta/RC stage right now with so many changes. There's been a lot of bugs squashed and introduced in the last version. Do a test install to make sure you get what you want.

fmofmpls · July 19, 2011, 09:15:43 PM

It worked! Thanks IchBin for the great support! Much appreciated!

Brad - it was doing exactly what we wanted prior to upgrading to SMF final and was in use for months - so unless you have removed or radically altered core functions I'm sure I'll be happy. Thanks again,

Matthew

I hope some one is still reading this portal section. I been trying to find a way to make some thing like this http://www.dfarena.com/mapzone/index_main.php. and well SMF and Portal have been getting so advanced I can't keep up. If you look at that link, you will see a page was added and then blocks were added to the page. PLEASE any one have any ideas.

DarkAngel612 · July 23, 2011, 06:05:06 PM

not knowing exactly what you plan to put on your page but have you tried making an article the assigning whatever blocks to it that you want to show and where?

Ok, I'm lost here. Your telling me that I can create an articles and add what ever blocks to it I want. If that's what your saying can you tell me how to do that in the simplest way possible...

DarkAngel612 · July 23, 2011, 07:35:54 PM

tiny portal admin menu/articles/category---create a category to assign your article to

then click articles and choose html or bbc from the choices it gives you

then write your article--including tables if you need to use any

make sure to click active

assign it to the category

choose who to see it

choose what blocks you want to be shown on that article page

make sure the icon for a document and the little flag icon is not colored in so it can be linked to instead of showing on the front page

save

to link to it :
click articles -- right click on the magnifying glass to save link as -- paste it where you wish to link to it at...side block navigation or in a thread---I vote for side block so it will be there always

you have many things to tic off or on back there when you make your article too so take a look at it in a seperate window to edit for your final page...before inking to it

Hello. I'm having trouble in getting the global tags feature to work (or show anywhere in articles). I'm trying to set up a blog using TP and need the tags to help organize the content. After assigning several tags, and checking the "show global tags" checkbox, I'm still not seeing the tags anywhere within the articles? What am I missing here?

Thanks for the support!

ok, the option for

choose what blocks you want to be shown on that article page
is missing or it's wrong or some thing. the only option I see are panels. and nothing at all about blocks.

DarkAngel612 · July 23, 2011, 11:36:14 PM

this is what it looks like in smf 1.1.14 see image

then it is in 2.0

last image is if you choose to let the category rule....

or the other way to do the choosing is choose which panel to allow then go to panels and blocks and i the actual block click the tools icon for editing then choose it down near center or bottom. the article once active will show there and if you wish for a certain block to only show there then do not click for it to show anywhere but there.

bigjoe11a · July 24, 2011, 12:32:07 AM

ok, Thanks. I never done it like this or even new what those were for. So I mite have to find some one that can log in to my web site with a user name and password that I use for admin access and have some one else do this. It has me all so lost. Just some of my members are asking for this and well I wanted to get it added. Thanks for your time

IchBin™ · July 24, 2011, 12:50:09 AM

bigjoe11a,

After you have created the article and have verified that it displays properly. You can then go into the blocks section. Edit each block that you want to show with the article. At the bottom of the block edit page you will see options on where you can display the block. You can choose to only show the block for the article you created. There are many options for this.

Thank IchBin, It's just I wanted more then one block added in. See I'll have to post again and see if I can get some one to do this for me. I don't know if it's a bug in the new portal or I'm not doing it right.

See what I have is a block that reads as Menu, in that block I have an Menu link to a page or article. and I want like 5 or 6 blocks added to this article or page. It just shows up blank.

Do you know any admin that can do this for me to show me what to do.

If any ones is willing to help. Please send me a PM.

Any help? Still confused with tags not showing up.

Also looking for articles to share multiple categories. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Can some tell me how to remove this... I don't want to see this at all.

DarkAngel612 · July 25, 2011, 11:54:38 PM

do you mean the "promote to front page"?

good question cause there are some things that don't go there and not sure if just anyone can do it.

Hi,

I recently upgraded to SMF 2.0 and then upgraded TP. I keep getting this error and I would have searched TP.net, but the site hasn't loaded for me all day. Even trying to look a cached pages won't work to see where I should start looking to fix this, so if anyone can point in the right direction, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Error: Unknown column 'art.author_id' in 'field list'
File: /home/blahblah/Sources/TPortal.php
Line: 2319

Get that no matter what link I click on.

Dramber · July 31, 2011, 04:06:55 AM

I took a look on the tp site and it looks like you can fix it fairly easily.

QuoteI updated the smf from 1.1.14 (with tp rc2) to 2.0 and installed once again tp rc2, and the table field "authorid" isn't converted to "author_id" on tp_article and tp_dlmanager. I did it by hand on phpmyadmin

QuoteYou can go in and change the column name in the tp_downloads and tp_articles table authorID to author_id.
