Is there a screenshot of the admin cp for this?

Because there was the one mistake ;)

Worked great, and took care of that SQL issue we are having if we add a second forum ID.
Thanks much! :up:

There isn't, but I'll get one taken later tonight when I'm on the other computer. In the meantime, to put it simply, have a look at, lets say, forum display options found in the vB options. Thats just one picked at random, but the entire minimalistic ACP is set in the vBOptions so it gives you an idea. The base system (ie the main portal with no add-on's) is a mere 6 settings in vBOptions, and once they are set you should never have any need to change them.

The portal and all the add on features are excellent. Easy to install, and your help has been fantastic. Time to vote for mod of the month people.

Yeah the portal deserves all appreciation .. great Job.

Only one issue this and all past portals have, can't optimize the portal page outside the forums folder, it's annoying to change all images in templates that might be used in the portal, or to have the CSS embed instead of linked, or even putting full URL of CSS images.

What's the solution to have the portal page outside the forum's folder, without doing those modifications?

No matter what you do it will require some sort of modification to a template somewhere. You could try just using a <base> directive in your headinclude. Not sure what the overall effect would be but I really can't foresee any problems. It simply makes relative links into absolute links.

Thank you for the screenshots. Very helpful!

Thanx alot Wayne that was slick! I'll give it a try.

I sure would like your mod, but I want to know something before I screw up my board.
At this moment I have my board in a subdirectory say '/forum'. On the main index is a page, but I do not want to use it anymore and want to use the portal instead.

Is that possible and if so, how? (yes I read the part above, but I do not realy understand it)

adhari_com

02-01-2007 05:50 PM

It's working guys, to actually make the portal work without so many mods on the template is using the <base> directive as suggested earlier.

Insert right below the <head> in PORTAL template:

Code:

<base href="$vboptions[bburl]/" target="_self" />

* But a question goes to the coder, are these 2 lines at the end of portal.php correct?

Code:

eval('$portal_articlelist .= "' . fetch_template('PORTAL') . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('PORTAL') . '");');

I think the first is useless?

adhari_com

02-01-2007 05:56 PM

And I'm also suggesting using this code, instead of the current one and the reason is BBCode gets choped off creating an ugly view of the previewed latest topics, qouting the preview of the Tooltip of Forum Display, to display a stripped simple preview of the post:

Code:

        $news['pagetext'] = strip_quotes($news['preview']);

        $news['pagetext'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(

                        strip_bbcode($news['preview'], false, true),

                        $charlimit

        )));

$news['pagetext'] = nl2br($news['pagetext']);

How can i make a link that shows the forum link when the user on portal page and show the portal link when the user on the forum page ?

This should work:

HTML Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'portal'">

        <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">Forum</a>

<else />

        <a href="$vboptions[homeurl]">Portal</a>

</if>

I haven't tested it though. I have a tab system on my site that always shows a link to the home page and one to the forums.

masterme

02-02-2007 09:19 AM

I have the mod installed. But because I use an style which is completely different from an defaullt style, it does not function complete. Only the news is working, no sidebars.

Is it possible to ad an basic template and assign only the portal to it?

goodguy

02-04-2007 09:07 AM

I had the portal working fine, but for some reason now I can't link to it from our main site.
If I use the path www.hairdivision.co.uk/forums I get a white page but the page is named correctly as using the full path it is fine www.hairdivision.co.uk/forums/index.php? www.hairdivision.co.uk/forums/forum.php takes me to the forums?
I'm sure it's something simple, probably me, but can anyone advise?
(I can't use the second path above as the links are hard coded into an Actinic site)

T.I.A.

goodguy

02-05-2007 06:56 AM

I managed to get it working by editing the links in Actinic but users are still having problems, any idea why I'm having to use the full path? I tried reverting the forums.php back to index.php but still the white page?

I added two plugins to fix the Online Location showing up as Unknown:

online_location_process:

Code:

if($filename=='index.php')

{

    $userinfo['activity'] = 'portal';

}

online_location_unknown:

Code:

if($userinfo['activity']=='portal')

{

    $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Portal'; 

    $handled = true;

}

Thanks.

Keep the improvements coming.

Great Job KA and I think I'm going to convert now to the vBonjour since you said "simplicity" ;) Gotta love it. I did note all of your add-ons........... You been pretty busy I see. Will be installing on a new board here this next week.

Hope to see soon a all-in-one simplicity vBonjour with every add-on already installed and ready to go, in lieu of the singles. However with your hard work involved I wouldn't put it past you not doing it that way :D

All the best!

This is an improvement.

Although I'm still getting one post that has a title when shown on the portal page, but doesn't have any content on the portal page. Looks weird. This is the post for debugging referrence.

If this could be fixed, that would be great.

masterme

02-12-2007 06:31 PM

I will repeat my question:
Is it somehow possible to give the portal another template than the forum?
I use a design which does not work fine with this portal, the sidebars do'nt show etc.
So if it would be possible that I can add another design which I share with only the portal, that would be neat.

And just a word of advice: It's usually not a good idea to try installing two mods at the same time.

John1uk

02-17-2007 10:40 PM

Thanx for the advice mate :D i have removed the left and right column mods.....back to how the forum looked in the first place.

the problem is, excuse my ignorance, i thought this mod would add colums down my main forum homepage, like marie's. with navagation etc....but i don't see anything?????

John1uk

02-17-2007 10:47 PM

If one of the threads in the forums you are pulling threads from is a redirect, it comes up as this... (in other words: no message text.)

Just a bit of info, if you wish to have your navbits reflect your vB title instead of vB title > Portal.

Open portal.php:
Find

PHP Code:


		
			
$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Portal';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

Remove it completely, save and upload.

This will add a breadcrumb when viewing your forum.

Next open index.php (if you renamed opened the renamed file)
Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

Above add:

PHP Code:


		
			
$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Forum';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

Edit 'Forum' to whatever you wish.

Cheers
Steve

I tried installing this, but I'm having a problem getting the index.php to show up. I jsut get a nice white blank page.

I edited the portal.php to reflect the forum path (/home/cporg/public_html/forums), but it doesn't change anything.

http://www.computerproblems.org/index.php
http://www.computerproblems.org/forums

Any idea?

Toss:

ini_set('display_errors',1);

Into your config.php under the <?php and paste the actual error here.
