TinyPortal

[lurkalot]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out where a block comes from, whether it's a built in block to Tiny Portal or if it's from somewhere else entirely.

When I visit a topic on our website above the topic, is something named 'tag this topic'

It allows me to assign a tag to the topic as a new one, or assign one of the tags that I've already assigned to some other topic on our site.

Is this a TP block?

I ask because it seems broken in the sense that I can't keep that block minimized, there is a + sign next to it but it only minimizes that block for that page view, once I move on to another topic, it's fully expanded again.

Thanks if somebody can tell me more about it, or how to fix it, if it's a TP block itself.

Is indeed part of TP.  I can see what you mean about not being able to collapse them permanently.  Didn't notice this myself as I have that turned off.  You could also turn that option off while IchBin looks into it.  Tinyportal > Settings "Tag topics with Global tags?" and "Tag boards with Global tags?"

Thanks for letting me know where it is.  I've turned it off now and will wait to use it until they get fixed to stay collapsed.

No problem.  I've added the issue to the bugtacker over at http://www.tinyportal.net  Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

In Themes/default/TPsubs.template.php:

Code (find) Select Expand

<div class="windowbg" style="padding: 4px;" id="tagpanel3" ' , in_array('tagpanel3',$context['tp_panels']) ? ' style="display: none;"' : '' , '>

Code (replace) Select Expand

<div class="windowbg" id="tagpanel3" style="padding: 4px; ' , (in_array('tagpanel3',$context['tp_panels'])) ? 'display: none;' : '' , '">

Code (find) Select Expand

<div class="windowbg" style="padding: 4px;" id="tagpanel4" ' , in_array('tagpanel4', $context['tp_panels']) ? ' style="display: none;"' : '' , '>

Code (replace) Select Expand

<div class="windowbg" id="tagpanel4" style="padding: 4px; ' , (in_array('tagpanel4', $context['tp_panels'])) ? 'display: none;' : '' , '">

Thanks, works great.

Much appreciated.

Hi...

Just to say, I am loving this mod. It has transformed my site and I can't praise it enough

One request though... I would seriously love to have a front page RSS feed. Or at least an articles feed. Or a feed for each category.

But, really a feed of everything that goes on the front page would be best.

Is this envisaged at all?

Bloc will this work with your Helios Theme.  I am using Tiny Portal now with that Theme and I love it.  I want to update if this is an improvement but I don't want to ruin what I have if it isn't compatible.

@jackregan,

There is nothing built in for RSS feeds on articles or front page stuff. It's a good idea, but no scheduled plans to put any new features in until after TP 1.0 is stable. There are a few posts on the site where people have written scripts to create these RSS feeds, though I think it is only for articles.

Bloc is no longer the Developer on this. He's turned it over to the TP Team to support and develop.
TP should work with pretty much on any theme in SMF 2.0.x.

I keep getting this error:

8: Undefined index: blockarticle_titles
File: /home/mindless/public_html/Sources/TPortal.php

Does anyone know how I might fix that? I've got 177 errors just piled up >.<

Replied at the TP site where you posted the same thing.

How to disable "tag this topic" and "related" in topic

[IchBin™]

TPAdmin > Settings > Tag topics with Global tags? Tag boards with Global tags?

TPAdmin > Settings > Tag topics with Global tags? Tag boards with Global tags?

thank you

and "related" in topic ...how to disable ?

Looks like an incomplete feature. The only way to make it go away is to comment out some code in Sources/TPortal.php

$context['template_layers'][] = 'TPtagboardsGeneral';

Commented out looks like this:
//$context['template_layers'][] = 'TPtagboardsGeneral';

I'm planning on converting an existing site to use TP, and have a few questions, mostly about creating articles for an FAQ system (about 300 pages or so).

Is it best to create a top-level "FAQ" category and then the FAQ subcategories before creating the articles, or can I just create them and sort them into categories later? Is there an FAQ mod that you would recommend instead of creating pages and pages of FAQ content? (I looked at some of the FAQ mods but I'd appreciate any recommendations or suggestions).

Also, any tips/tricks that TP users would have on converting a site to be managed by TP would be very welcome. i.e. things to avoid, things consider "must do", any "must have" mod packages, etc.

The site to be converted is http://deltabravo.net (a divorce and custody help site, already using SMF 2.x)

It would probably be easier to create the categories first. This way you choose the category when you create the article instead of having to edit the article to change the category later.

About the rest of your post, sorry haven't done what your asking before.

[MrMike]

IchBin,

Thanks. I've done a test install on a sandbox domain, I'll give TinyPortal a go and see what I can do.

Currently I'm trying to figure out how to make a custom article appear on the frontpage, but dang if I can figure that out (yet). I'll work it a bit more and come back if I can't noodle it out.

This is, I suspect, a stupid question, but I'm at a loss to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I created an article and set it for display on the front page. I've turned off most of the other stuff on the front page for a cleaner look (temporarily).

When I go to Articles -> Articles in a Category, I see the article in the category I created ("Frontpage"), but the icon to edit it is greyed out so I can't edit it. Why is that?

[ZarPrime]

MrMike,

Is this the icon you are talking about? -->

Or are you talking about another one?  That is the edit icon but you can also get to the edit screen by clicking the name of the article under the "name" column.  This, of course, assumes that you are using the latest versions of SMF and Tinyportal which you haven't really said.

It might be easier to help you if you register at http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php and post in the Support board over there so that one of the Support people can help you out.
