[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal)

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've been reading posts backwards and haven't come across the answer to this yet.
Why does the portal home tab have a submenu similar to the forums submenu?
 
Is there a way to have 3 columns?
left side bar | center | right side bar

Or is the way to use center with left and right modules?

Added:
Recurring Events module
What would be nice is if I could view the events top to bottom rather than left to right.
And maybe an option for 3 columns.

Yes. you can have 3 columns... add the following to extra.css
Code: 
.eventList li { width: 33% !important; }
If you wanted 4 columns, change it to 25%, or for 1 column 100%. You can also do a fix width. ALL of my XenForo mods use this same LI setup. The default width is 50%, thus making 2 columns.

Boy that was easy!
I suppose making the events sort top to bottom before it moves over to a column would be a bit tricker.

Yeah, thats just not possible... If you care, you can do the same width setting on all my mods...

XenPorta Recent Media Block
Code: 
.mediaList li { width: 33% !important; }

XenMedio Media Listing
Code: 
.mediaSmall li { width: 25% !important; }

As for what I said before... you can even make them fixed width.
 
Jaxel me main man :) is there anyway to remove the "forum title" from the portal page



Cheers

Not sure if I explained this bug properly so I will just say that if you select to use the /forum/ system so you can have your index the portal. You will have issues with all email links like password recovery and such.

I had to do the following in htaccess

Code: 
    Redirect permanent /forum/lost-password/ http://godcraft.com/lost-password/
    Redirect permanent /forum/conversations/ http://godcraft.com/conversations/
    Redirect permanent /forum/account-confirmation/ http://godcraft.com/account-confirmation/

I can not confirm this problem...

What do you have set in Options > Basic Board Information > Board URL?

It should be http://godcraft.com NOT http://godcraft.com/forum
 
Thanks Jaxel I totally failed. I was a 100% sure it was set to godcraft.com only but clearly I was not smart enough to double check haha :)
 
What if you want XenPorta to be in root and your forum to be /community??
I think I've seen it done that way.

If you are okay with 'forum' as the (fake) directory, the way I did it was to install XF in web root and then install XenPorta, and then in the XenPorta admin options, check both 'Set as Index Controller' and 'Show Navigation Tab?' options, and remove whatever is in 'Home Page URL' under the 'Basic Board Information' admin options. And make sure you don't have a (real) 'forum' directory on your server. ;)

Edit: Oh, and I checked 'Use Full Friendly URLs' in the 'Search Engine Optimisation' admin options to be rid of the index.php? bit from links, so my setup now gives the appearance of having the portal page in web root and having the forum in a (fake) 'forum' directory.

I already have my forum in /community. I have so few posts that maybe this would be a good time to move it to the root.
But I was hoping to have a portal in root, forum in /community and eventually /gallery /otherdirectories.

FYI, I made an addition to my previous post regarding directories. While I also initially placed my XF install into a (real) /community directory, I have since upped it to web root. With 'Use Full Friendly URLs' checked, and how XF works, someone can go to /forum/index.php (there is no real /forum directory on my server) and it looks like s/he is in a (real) /forum directory. If a gallery add-on is done right, it too should give the appearance of being in a (non-existent) /gallery directory without having a (real) /gallery directory on your server.
 
Jaxel, do you mind if I move your copyright from where it appears to by the XF copyright? Here are the changes I made, and I'm wondering if you are cool with it...

  • Removed the following from the EWRporta_Footer template:

    Code: 
      <div class="muted" style="text-align: center; font-size: 11px; margin: 10px;">
  	<a href="http://xenforo.com/community/threads/7586/">XenPorta</a>
  	&copy; Jason Axelrod from <a href="http://www.8wayrun.com/">8WayRun.Com</a>
  </div>

  • Replaced the following in the XF footer template:

    Code: 
      			<div id="copyright">{xen:phrase xenforo_copyright}</div>

    With the following:

    Code: 
      			<div id="copyright">{xen:phrase xenforo_copyright}
  			<xen:if is="{$controllerName} == 'EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Portal'">
  				<br /><a class="concealed" href="http://xenforo.com/community/threads/7586/">XenPorta</a>
  				&copy; Jason Axelrod from <a class="concealed" href="http://www.8wayrun.com/">8WayRun.Com</a>
  			</xen:if>
  			</div>
After I did this (switched to three columns) your copyright no longer was centered on the page, but rather centered somewhere on 2/3 of the page, so I'd like to move it under the XF copyright.

Here is what it looks like...

Yea or nea?
