Не совсем понятна логика настройки показов блоков.
Например, если создать "Блок с HTML-кодом" и в нем выбрать в Правах доступа "Показывать всем", то гостям блок не показывается. Нужно переходить в настройки портала "Права доступа" и там включать доступ для гостей "Кто может просматривать элементы портала".

If I add a photo to the article, then the main page does not contain short content, only three dots are displayed. I added a sample photo 700x250, I understand that this photo may be too large. I think it should be possible to set the width and height of the image thumbnail or article window.

You can use CSS for that. What page type did you use? HTML? BBC?

So is it now possible to adjust the height and width of the article window to the size shown in this screen? (orange frame)

Go to the portal settings, set "Number of columns for displaying articles" to "2 columns". Other things (width, height, etc) can be changed via HTML/CSS by creating your own template layout for the front page.

And is it now possible to create a text window over articles? I mean such a window (green frame).

Of course, it is a simple block with HTML/Markdown content within the Top Center/Header panels.

What page type did you use? HTML? BBC?

I created a test HTML and BBC article and in these two types it's the same with this image thumbnail on the home page.

Go to the portal settings, set "Number of columns for displaying articles" to "2 columns". Other things (width, height, etc) can be changed via HTML/CSS by creating your own template layout for the front page.

I have 2 columns set up, but in my opinion the article window is too high and wide. This is just my opinion, but I think that Nibogo on his portal used a good article window size. And the user's avatar is displayed, in my opinion, this diversifies the appearance of the article window. Maybe you like the current look of the article window in LP and I understand it, but maybe you will improve it someday. I would like to try to set it the same. How do I add my own HTML/CSS template for the home page for the article window?

Of course, it is a simple block with HTML/Markdown content within the Top Center/Header panels.

Thanks for the tip.

Currently, when I save any setting, e.g. in block editing, I am automatically moved to the main block management. It is annoying that every time I save a setting, it move me from the setting to the previous page. Have you thought to change it?

All templates are located in /Themes/default/LightPortal dir. See this documentation.

You do not need to save the settings on each tab, just change the necessary ones and the "Save" button will apply all the changes. Well, I can add buttons like "Save and Exit" and "Save". I just did not think that the user needed to stay in the block editing window after saving the settings.

* The function of adding a new plugin is moved from the portal code to a separate addon (PluginMaker).

* Added several new templates for the frontpage.
* The InstagramFeed addon was removed.

* Updated block classes and styles. There are currently 120 different design variants available.
* Returned the ability to assign permissions for creating your own portal blocks.

Note: Large addons (currently InitialAvatars, PluginMaker, Pug) are not included in the portal package, but can be downloaded and installed separately, as regular SMF modifications.


How to upgrade (if you want to save blocks and pages):

0) Upgrade to v1.8.2 (just copy the contents of the Sources directory from the archive over the same directory on your server, replacing the files).
1) Make an export of pages and blocks.
2) Delete the portal completely, including the tables added to the database.
3) Install the new version.
4) Make import pages and blocks.

Light Portal is always waiting for new localizers, frontpage theme makers, and testers

@Mick., the update 1.8.2 fixes the export.

Got it. I did'nt know there was 1.8.2 That fixed it but, FYI,  I got an error when export blocks:

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/***/www/idesignsmf.com/public_html/Sources/LightPortal/addons/AdsBlock/Template.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php74/pear') in /home/***/www/idesignsmf.com/public_html/Sources/LightPortal/addons/AdsBlock/AdsBlock.php on line 220

I turned it off in Plugins page and it worked.

Hey bro, in version 1.9 I'm trying to change this from 150 to 350 but is not changing. Is there another place that might be over-riding the changes that I need to know?

Code Select Expand

.article_list {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(150px, 1fr));
grid-gap: 0 10px;
}
The article list is bunched up at 150px. For my design, I need to change it to 350px;

Nevermind... Found it hidden in Sources.  ArticleList/style.css  had to comment it out in portal.css

.article_list {
   display: grid;
   grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(150px, 1fr));
   grid-gap: 0 10px;
