[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal) 1.5.8

Portal, News and Articles... and a widget framework.

  1. Jaxel
    A branding removal license and instructions on how to remove the brands quick and easily can be purchased HERE for $50. Each branding removal license is good for ONE forum only! If you appreciate the work here, please DONATE.

    I think the only "must have" XenForo is really missing right now is a Splash Portal. Pretty much every website out there has one, whether its just a feed or recent news announcements, or a full blown CMS. This mod intends to fill this obvious gap with a recent news announcements feed and a fully modular sidebar system.

    Features:
    • News portal linking to admin defined forums
    • THREAD PROMOTION to add to the news portal
    • Categories for news articles and promoted threads
    • Index routing to take over the /index location
    • Fully modular system with import/export
    • Module caching based on individual timestamps
    • 8 pre-installed module blocks, with dozens of additional blocks available to install from the package.
    Demo:
    Installation:
    • upload the contents of the attached zip to your XF root
    • install from file on server: "library/EWRporta/addon-EWRporta.xml"
    • set options for the portal in administration control panel
    • set usergroup permissions for administration rights
    Upgrading from < 1.5.0:
    • If upgrading from before 1.5.0, uninstall XenPorta first!
    • Delete all relevant /library and /js files!
    • Make sure XenPorta tables have been dropped from DB
    • Follow regular installation procedure from here
    Usage Notes:
    • You will need to add these template edits manually if you plan on Globalizing Thread and Forum Layouts respectively... as these hooks do not yet exist in XenForo and I'm having trouble convincing Kier to add them.

      At the absolute bottom of "thread_view"
      Code:
      <xen:hook name="thread_view_share_after" params="{xen:array 'thread={$thread}'}" />
      At the absolute bottom of "forum_view"
      Code:
      <xen:hook name="forum_view_pagenav_after" params="{xen:array 'forum={$forum}'}" />

    @Jaxel you did a really great job with this Addon. It makes any Frontend CMS unnecessary as well as with all you other great Mods. Keep up that work!

    Thank you very much for the HOTFIX! Very good news to see you listen to the community. This fix was extremely important to many of us; especially regarding recentslider, etc.

    On a beefy server, I don't mind the auto promote. The whole reason I installed this resource was because of that. Please bring it back as a option.

    Thanks
