@Jaxel I have XenPorta installed and I'm using the countdown widget. The countdown shows fine for me in the UK but is 3 hours fast for users in Dubai. This is the correct time in the UK...

This is the wrong time in Dubai...

Do you know how I can fix this issue? Below is a link to a page with the countdown. At the time of this post the event should show 5 and a half hours to go...

Timezones are decided by the timezone of the account you are logged into. Not the timezone of the PC you are on.
 
I promoted my first article.

Article Title to the top above my shoutbox!?.... rest of article below my shoutbox.

How can I fix this?

Remove it from the layout?
 
@Jaxel is there a way to make a sticky slider? I keep changing the promotion date to get it back in the rotation but it gets to be a pain after awhile.

Edit: I guess a sticky article would be useful as well.
 
Hi, What is the name of this bar across the top of the Recent/New Threads widget? I'm trying to change the color of it but can't find anything in Style Properties? Thanks.

After watching your layout video numerous times, I still can not figure out how to make a layout as such.

I tried setting the article list to zero, but it wont let you. If I could simply change that to zero everything would work just fine.

So what I did was add a "articles main" widget and gave a option set for each widget area marked above. When I promote a article and assign it to a category, it will display accordingly in its assigned widget. Problem is, it wall also display that article in the article list duplicating content. I have clicked on the "exclude from article index" but that doesnt seem to do anything.

Is there anyway to achieve what I am trying to do?
 
Brand new install - xenforo 1.5.10 - to myurl.com/dev folder & followed this:

Installation:
  • upload the contents of the attached zip to your XF root
  • install from file on server: "library/EWRporta2/addon-EWRporta2.xml"
Got this: You don't have permission to access /dev/library/EWRporta2/addon-EWRporta2.xml on this server.

Please advise...

That would be on your server admins. Talk to them to figure it out.

I dont quite understand what you are trying to do. If you want to make your own landing page, read the FAQ.

Hey @Jaxel

Do you have a layout download section ? I mean other than Article List ? ^^

I mean thing like that : https://realitygaming.fr/actualites/ ^^

Thanks for your helping :)
Can't really do that. Layouts are defined based on the widgets in the layout... and not everyone will have the same widgets installed. So downloadable layouts would be pointless.

I am actually on 1.1.2 Do I have to upgrade with each update in succession? I dont see the xml file to upgrade.
Upgrades are cascading. You only need the newest version.

I'm using Hostgator. I thought this would just be changing the CHMOD to a specific # like from 644 to 777.

Any help? Hostgator typically tells me to ask the dev & it becomes a circle of nothing...
 
OK, I figured out the problem while I was on live tech support chat w/ Hostgator. He had no idea what the problem was but was willing to reset all CHMOD on my URL... while I was waiting for them to do that, I explored the admin options in xenforo admin.

I originally interpreted your INSTALL instructions as: Run this file from your browser URL - like most open source tools - including wordpress, drupal and even xenforo!

XENFORO INSTALL SAYS:

4. Installing
Now you are ready to begin the XenForo installer program.
  1. Direct your browser to the install directory within the URL that corresponds to your upload. (e.g., www.example.com/community/install/).
  2. Follow the on-screen prompts until the installation is complete.

Anyway, I've installed xenforo to a /dev folder on my URL until I learn my way around, so I ran this in my browser and it did NOT work: http://myURL.com/dev/library/EWRporta2/addon-EWRporta2.xml

Eventually, I figure out that I needed to go to my new xenforo admin panel:

Home tab > Add-ons > Install Add-on > Install from file on server:
library/EWRporta2/addon-EWRporta2.xml

After I did that - it worked! Time to do some more learnin'...
