[8WayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal & Lite Wiki)

[Deleted member 745]

Hi,

I have my XenPorta installed here : http://chatfreaks.net/community/portal/ but was wondering if theres a way to show that page on my root homepage here - http://chatfreaks.net/ instead of on the /community/portal/ folder?

Thanks for any help

Do you just want http://chatfreaks.net/community/portal/ to be your homepage?

Or do you want your homepage to be that but the the URL to still be http://chatfreaks.net/ ?

I think he means your second option (that's what we'd like as well).

This question should be asked on the support thread, so have merged it.

The homepage to be http://chatfreaks.net/ that gets data from the portal, the 2nd one yep.

Use htaccess...

Redirect /index.html http://chatfreaks.net/community/portal/

 

[RobParker]

How server intensive would that be for a site that can already at times push the server to it's limits?

I always thought that pushing every user through htaccess would cause problems, is that wrong?

I would be wanting it as the home page to replace what I have as the front page of edcforums.com.

oops, I didn't mean to quote anyone.

Here is what I am doing with my front page.

I want to be able to basicly duplicate this.

Having this awesome mod run as the Home Page at www.site.com has been discussed alot in this thread.
Read the discussion starting here.

It would be nice if the xenforo dev team could make the Home Tab "a real Tab" in beta3, so Jaxel could accomplish what we want.

Oh...I didn't realize the home tab was not real.

I just noticed there is a small bug at the portal page if you have a (relatively) big avatar and a small message, the avatar doesn't fit inside the box and just goes past it. I'm not completely sure whether this is a bug with your mod or one from XenForo, but since it happened there I thought I might as well post it.



Also, I'm having some troubles with the whole template system and how it's used, I read every post to understand it some more and it seems like a nice system, but maybe some tutorial for people who never used something like this before would be nice.

I would like to see what people did with their portal

I've been toying around with it a bit, and I was trying to find out how to use it for automatic url's, for example.

Taking this as a template:

<td class="primaryContent test"><a href="{{{link}}}">Click here</a></td>

and this as a page:

| link=http://www.abc.com

This seems to work, as it gets converted. However, instead of just taking the link I added it uses the root of where the website is installed and adds the rest behind it.. On this website, that would be http://www.xenfore.com/<a href= etc.

This is quite a bit of strange behavior, in my opinion. Is there any way of turning this of, circumvent it, or any other trick to use the absolute url I inserted?

Thanks.

Please add a latest replies side column block and a customizable menu block to this and I will install

Has anyone experienced any issues with the new version of XenForo and this mod?

I'm thinking of rewriting the loader...

It appears this issue happens because of the autolinker BB code built into XenForo. I recommend creating the templates as follows:

template:

<td class="primaryContent test">{{{link}}}</td>

page:

| link=[url=http://www.abc.com]Click Here[/url]
