It looks like for some reason, the upgrade script didn't run for you. Try running the following commands on your MySQL:
Code:
ALTER TABLE `EWRporta2_authors` ADD `author_time` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `EWRporta2_features` ADD `feature_time` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE `EWRporta2_layouts` ADD `layout_sidebar` int(1) unsigned NOT NULL;Jaxel

This is fixed in the next version.
I can't replicate the issue. However, viewing your page, there appears to be a bunch of javascript errors related to twitter. Maybe those errors are affecting this script?

If you want to style your Category Pages then create the following layout...
Layout ID: categories (or whatever you want to call it)
Title: Categories (or whatever you want to call it)
Template: EWRporta2_ArticleList
Evaluation: !empty($params['category']) && $params['category']
This applies to all category pages

If you want to do a layout for a specific category like News or Articles, then do this...
Layout ID: news (or whatever you want to call it)
Title: News (or whatever you want to call it)
Template: EWRporta2_ArticleList
Evaluation: !empty($params['category']) && $params['category']['category_id'] == 1
(where 1 is the number for the News category)

Below is a guide to creating specific layouts for Category and Author pages...
Category Page (applies to all category pages)
Layout ID: categories (or whatever you want to call it)
Title: Categories (or whatever you want to call it)
Template: EWRporta2_ArticleList
Evaluation: !empty($params['category']) && $params['category']
Specific Category Page (applies to a specific category page like news or articles, etc)
Layout ID: news (or whatever you want to call it)
Title: News (or whatever you want to call it)
Template: EWRporta2_ArticleList
Evaluation: !empty($params['category']) && $params['category']['category_id'] == 1
(where 1 is the number for the News category)
Author Page (applies to all author pages)
Layout ID: authors (or whatever you want to call it)
Title: Authors (or whatever you want to call it)
Template: EWRporta2_ArticleList
!empty($params['author']) && $params['author']
Specific Author Page (applies to a specific author page like Author 1 or Author 2, etc)
Layout ID: author-one (or whatever you want to call it)
Title: Author One (or whatever you want to call it)
Template: EWRporta2_ArticleList
!empty($params['author']) && $params['author']['user_id'] == 3
(where 1 is the number for Author One's author page)
If you dont want to use the article list template then add the template for the page created, the rest is the same.

@Jaxel I have thought about what we were discussing some days ago with @Lone Wolf and I have found a good reason why we need able to exclude some articles from the main feature widget.
Let say each category we make will have 4 featured articles (FA) per week (not a big deal) and the Feature widget will show 4 articles.
- With one category and on the second week, the main portal will display 4 different articles. Both your portal and your main page are alive and that's fine.
- With 10 categories, the main portal will show 40 FA per week. The first day, it's possible that you don't even see the first Features articles you set some hours ago.
Category pages haven't got any problems because the rotation is smooth however this rotation is too much fast for the main portal that catch every FA. ATM the solution is to slow the number of featured article per category but it causes the category to fall asleep because the page stay the same too much longer.
That's why it would be nice to have a new option on the 'promote to feature' page to hide the featured article from the main page.
Also, 2 new options into the ACP : first one to enable this choice (you did that with img inside article) and the other one to select a default choice (to avoid having to select the same option all the time).

My suggestions on Articles widget system:
- Articles widgets with individual options set which includes (apart from what is already present)
- Forum selection
- Excerpt trim Limit
- Design:
- Thumbnail options: choice of thumbnail image, size, location
- Most viewed articles, most replied articles, most liked/popular articles list widget with the above options

Is this to be expected by all your paying customers? I'll glady take a refund then.
Until then, I have every right to ask Q's, ask for support, etc in this thread. If you disagree, report the posts.
Thanks.

I know this isn't the thread for this and I'm no expert on coding but what I dont understand is why this is a problem with XenPorta. What's wrong with updating your software?
All softwares do updates, most updates break a lot of addons. The software maker (like XenForo or vBulletin) does not provide an automatic fix for unsupported addons which are broken by updates. The XF and VB resource sections are full of broken addons which are no longer maintained by the addon maker but this doesnt mean that XF or VB jump in and start updating the addons. It's up to the addon maker to fix the issue.
I've heard that when we get XF 2.0 it will probably require most add-on makers to rewrite their mods from scratch. We wont be expecting MACK to make sure XF 2.0 works with all addons and doesnt break any of them. In fact we welcome the XF 2.0 changes because we expect XF 2.0 to be a re-imagined product.
I tried out XP1 and although it was free I never used it. XP2 costs money but has far better functionality than XP1 or any other Portal solution out there due to it's integrated widget framework and default widgets that it comes with.
I like the addons by @Bob and I really want to purchase Showcase. However I'm waiting till someone creates widgets to make it work with XP2 because there's no point in me having a showcase on my site which I cant showcase on my portal page.

Considering the developers post towards me, when I merely answered another customer's question, yes.

@Lone Wolf - I agree with you personally. To be fair, there's a lot of critiscm towards @Jaxel for his past - some, which if he's honest he was worthy of, some not so much. I've criticised him in the past, but he's clearly moved on from that. Maybe having to eat humble pie hurts ( I have eaten it) - Fact is, a lot thought he'd take the money and run. I don't understand the issue with dropping xP 1.0 either. It's free... It's not like it was a dropped, paid for item like some here have done.
I'm willing to give @Jaxel a chance - I think some others need to as well. Ultimately, it's going to back fire. You have a popular add-on not working with another popular add-on. Someones sales are going to be hurt. If it was a free mod on both parties, I'd get the dummy spitting, but if it affected my income, I'd work with my worst enemy if it depended on it. We are all grown ups, let's sort it out - on both sides. To be fair, I like @Bob - He's a very friendly and helpful guy. I just wish he offered us some sort of option. Even if he made it paid for and the fee went to a charity of his choice. That way he isn't profiting off of making an add-on for his add-on as such, but he's making a stand against it. Either that or we crowd fund it to be made.

Originally I had plans to integrate Stock Trader, Showcase and Pickem by @Bob with XP1 but XP1 didn't have the feature set I needed so I didn't buy any of the 4 addons. Now XP2 has reached where I need so I bought it but now I cant integrate it with Showcase or Stock Trader with XP2. For me the Portal is my most important addon because I dont like WordPress and I want to move away from that.
When addon developers dont play nice, it's the customers that suffer.
