Extra Portal 1.2.4

[Matthew Hawley]

I would like to include all the sidebar blocks (online users, staff, forum stats, sharepage) and widgets from bd widget framework.

 

[Dan]

ExtraLicense is pleased to announce the release of [Extra] Portal 1.2, the best (and free) Portal addon for XenForo. If you (you know who you are) are using an alternative portal, you should do yourself a favor and and at least try this Portal.

Built for speed and simplicity, Extra Portal was refactored from Simple Portal as we didn't think the word "Simple" did it justice.

We would like to thank everyone that provided bug reports and feedback throughout the beta and release candidate period and are proud to present finally 1.2.0 GOLD



Fully Hooked to take advantage of [bd]Widget Framework integration or any other framework you wish to use (No proprietary widgets here ):
extraportal_add_content
extraportal_top
extraportal_list
extraportal_item
extraportal_end (new)

Notable Changes:
All Hooks, Templates and Phrases have been replaced to reflect the new name. For instance, simleportal_top has been changed to extraportal_top and so on and so forth. So make sure you update your [bd] widgets and other dependencies accordingly.

New in 1.2:
Inline moderation and Inline promotion:

I get this when I try to install.

I had to drop the two db tables related to the addon.

I receive an error when trying to create a thread and checking the "promote to Portal" checkbox (with attachment)

ErrorException: Undefined index: inlineattach - library/SimplePortal/ItemHandler/Thread.php:46

However, this only occurs when an attachment exists and the "show the attachment in the portal page" is checked.

I don't have many plugins installed. If I uncheck the show attachment, it works. (This functionality is why I installed this.) Any ideas? Thanks.

Both bugs should be fixed in 1.2.0

Is there an actual live demo? When I click the demo link on the addon info it's just the forums.

Lets get this man some money! He does things real fast when being paid, i can vouch for that

 

[Dan]

My apologies for that. We are reworking our demo site. Perhaps someone who has this installed could post up a link for a demo?

 

[Russ]

We have it installed on http://dayzcamp.com/

The site isn't complete but we love Extra Portal ,

Will be upgrading to 1.2 ideally today/tomorrow so it might look broken while I revamp some things.

Thanks for the great work guys

Is there any way to modify this to a tab, but not as a "Home" tab? I want the home page to be my forum, not the portal.

 

[SelfSufficientMe]

I'm having some troubles working out how to use Extra Portal 1.2 with Widget Framework - I'm using the new hooks but I keep getting "invalid position specified" error. All I'm wanting to do is add "top photos" and "showcase" widgets to the sidebar.

Could someone please hold me by the hand here...

Edit: Don't worry, I worked it out for the sidebar el_portal_index

This isn't possible in the current version, but it is something we would like to add.

I'm getting this error when trying to promote a thread to portal:

@Russ How did you get it in blocks left and right like that with a featured at the top is columns a setting somewhere? Looks good!

 

[pmflav]

Customized css using widgets.

A bit of CSS, set some max-widths on each one basically , fairly simple just need to add the widget in the right spot(see the FAQ).

 

[oman]

It would be great if you could add an option in the style properties for prefixes of the thread to be shown on the portal page before the thread title.

Btw, this is an excellent portal solution. Will be reviewing it shortly.
