Not open for further replies.
Would someone be kind enough to explain a couple of things?
  1. How do I modify the Navigation box? I have it ticked but it doesn't show up :/
  2. How do I create pages/articles in the wiki?
Also are you or could you consider adding the option to pull news from more than one forum?

Thanks for the modification it really is incredible :D

This would be great, at a least being able to set it to a category and it include all subforums from it.

Would also be awesome if there was a way to create page categories, which would then show subpages with a similar layout to the portal.
 
Excellent work my friend! Very impressed how quickly you were able to make this product.

I'd like to know these points too.
 
very very nice... just 1 suggestion.
To avoid conflicts for some users that have mysql configured differently.. (table and connection collation as well as default table type)

I would add to create table in your install.php


ENGINE = InnoDB CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci

to see how xenforo uses it.. refer to:
library/Xenforo/Install/Data/MySql.php

To be 100% compatible with all users.. specially those using foreign languages, table type, charset and collation should be the same.

Because if someone is using foreign chars.. it could (! not allways) result in a mysql error with different collations:
because default charset is utf8 in xenforo.. even if your mysql defaults are swedish_latin or similar..
so if you dont have mysql configured to default in utf8 and you create your tables, the collation will be your default collation as defined in mysql.ini.

xenforo tables (ie: forumcontent) will allways be utf8.. so there might be a conflict IF there is a non ascii character in the text... like german umlaut ä ö ü or french ç.

Otherwise this add-on is overwhelming!!!

Is there an option so for example if I have my forum installed under /forums/ and the homepage is at / can there be an option so instead of the portal going to /forums/portal/ goes to home instead /

Know what I mean?

Technically this is possible... this isn't an article mod, but it displays threads like articles. If you want to promote a thread to an article... just move the thread to the article forum... instantly on the front page.

I have not read the whole thread but I should. I was wondering about this.

I would like some things on the front page to be both on the front page and in the forums. I would like it to be such that when a comment is made on the front page it appears also in the thread and for the reverse to be true. If a post is made to the thread it also appears as a comment on the front page.

Is adding that capability possible on this?
 
There's no reason why not.
Adding to a thread just updates the table in the DB so it matters not which page(s) it is done from.

It will mean adding a text editor and all sorts of other code to the front page though.
 
I get this error when I try to install porta, Error - A server error occurred. Please try again later.

Its working now, I think its APC as when I comment out these lines it works fine.

Code: 
    //$config['cache']['frontend']        = 'Core';
    //$config['cache']['frontendOptions']    = array ( 'caching' => true, 'automatic_serialization' => true, 'lifetime' => 10800, 'cache_id_prefix' => 'foro' );

    //$config['cache']['backend']        = 'Apc';
 
Get an article system in there that syncs up with a matching thread and allow threads to be promoted to articles and I will pay real money for it.
 
I joined the site to check something. This could work as a stop gap it looks like and might be able to be developed into what I am looking for.
