[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal) v1.0.6 CHANGELOG

  • This release updates XenPorta to match XenForo Beta4's new navtab position system...
  • A BOTTOM module location has been added!
  • An updated RecentNews XML file has been included that fixes various styling issues.
A guide on how to style your own modules has been created:

Is there a way to force the portal to be the landing page?
 
The news is messed. The latest threads and news are put on top.
This shot is using Social theme. Using default theme is messed too.

Is there a way to force the portal to be the landing page?
I use htaccess to force homepage to portal. Also in the basic board information set the home url to portal.
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /forum/portal/ [R,L]
</IfModule>

In this example, the xenforo root is "mysite.com/forum"
 
hrmmm

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(data|js|styles|install) - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://beta.fierceboard.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /portal/ [R,L]
</IfModule>

What did I do wrong?
 
Ok, I can move this to a support thread if needed, but since it is related to this mod I will ask in here.

I moved everything into a directory (forum) and changed the basic board information Board URL to beta.fierceboard.com/forum and the board wont show up now.

i turned off friendly URL's and changed htaccess to test this part first.

being in a different directory i will just forward like mentioned once this piece works.

Well it looks like I have some competition in the "portal" field now... lol... so now I need to kick it up a notch...

So, besides the whole "promoting to article" thing (which I actually have a few ideas about), what sort of features do you guys want for XenPorta? Remember that I created the XenCarta add-on as a replacement for the need of a CMS. You can use XenCarta as your CMS very easily, and XenPorta has a default navigation module built in for it. Of course, if you don't like the default navigation module, there is nothing stopping you from creating your own custom one, and releasing it to the public on this thread:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/8wayrun-com-xenporta-module-add-ons.7611/

I have done my best to "modularize" XenPorta so that people can easily create their own modules and release them publicly. The thread listed above includes not only a tutorial on how to make your own XML module files, but also how to construct your module templates so that they conform their look to your portal.

Would it be possible to make an RSS module? perhaps something linking to wordpress?
 
Okay... I've made it so that images get resized to 100%. It will still cut off if it's near the avatar... but its your forum, you should handle your news better so it doesnt happen.

I have also changed it so that sidebar modules will retain their "sidebar" appearance in the left, center and right modules locations. The only spots which can't have sidebar appearance is the TOP and BOTTOM.
http://xen1.8wayrun.com/portal/

Yes... there is now a BOTTOM block...

Can we disable the avatar from showing up there, with the resizing you build that would work.
