H3 string in file StatusUpdates.xml in directory library/EWRporta/XML line 10


and also in addon_EWRatendo.xml in directory library/EWRatendo around line 1721: (Have asked in another thread about that)

Actually... I thought I did add it... and I think it should work right now...
Code: 
		$fetchOptions = array(
			'join' => XenForo_Model_Thread::FETCH_FORUM | XenForo_Model_Thread::FETCH_USER,
			'readUserId' => $visitorID,
			'postCountUserId' => $visitorID,
			'permissionCombinationId' => $visitorID,
			'order' => 'last_post_date',
			'orderDirection' => 'desc',
			'limit' => $options->EWRporta_threadcount,
		);
In the code above, it clearly checks the permissions... but for some reason it doesn't work.

The previously reported issue whereby users can see posts in the Recently Active Threads module even though they don't have permissions, still exists. If I can help in any way for testing/resolution I am available.

REALLY GUYS? Sometimes I wonder if any of you even read the patch notes I post, but then you go off and QUOTE my patch notes and still don't get it right.

Small change to [prebreak] and [prbreak]. Now, the contents within the break will be displayed on the portal page... So if I put "[prbreak]More after the break[/prbreak]", the text "More after the break" will only be displayed on the portal; it will not be displayed in the actual post.​

Anything within the break tags will ONLY be shown on the portal page... Its actually very simple...

This is a post:

In the thread it will appear as follows:

On the portal it will appear as follows: (More... is a link to the thread)


Its a COMPLETELY OPTIONAL feature that you don't have to use if you dont want to. Just use [prbreak][/prbreak] if you dont want any break text.

Sry for the long Quote buts needed.
1. There is no need for any sarcasm. Some dont get instantly what you have written, described etc. So, its normal, on updates, that there are question like how this or that works and why this or that is different.
2. Yes i quoted your post but if you would read mine a bit you also would get that i wrote, that this was wanted. So i just can give back what you have "criticized"
 
[Upcoming Events Module] - Bug
Upon upgrading, Upcoming events block takes up the entire CENTER DIV. Before I had Recent Events and Upcoming Threads in the center block - no issues.
Upon upgrading, the Upcoming Events forces Recent Threads to the very bottom.

I rotated the order - Recent Threads first and Upcoming Events second....

This sort of fixes the issue so that Recent Threads and Upcoming Events can exisit in the center block - but... Upcoming Events still tries to take over the entire center block div.
Placing Upcoming Events elsewhere (ie Top, Left, Right) removes the "bug" issues...
 
[Suggestion - Promote Thread]
I was curious with Promote thread if we could have an auto demote thread.
I was thinking one of two ways...
1. Remove from Promote after XXX days
2. Remove Promote based on number of items allowed in the Recent News box vs. number of items promoted. (i.e. you allow four items, upon promoting your fifth item, the oldest item currently displayed would be removed.... etc...

1. don't plan on adding this...
2. recent news box gets paginated... isn't that enough?

I have no idea what you are talking about.
 
for the upgrade to RC 3, what actions should we take re: XenPorta and your line of Xen add-ons? None? Uninstall before upgrade?

I myself simply upgraded and have so far not seen any error - and have mostly all of Jaxel's modules on my dev site.. But hei - always do your necessary backups ..

Roger, me neither - it was late and just got back from a cruise....
I'll try to explain....
Move the Upcoming Events module to the CENTER block on the Porta page.
You'll see the module (no matter if there is one event or several) will fill the entire block.
Before, I would have the Upcoming Events and Recent Threads blocks in the CENTER block.
This allowed me to have 1-4 events listed at the top and the rest of the CENTER div filled with Recent Threads.
Upon upgrading, the Upcoming Events pushes the Recent Threads out of the CENTER block by filling the center block with blank space and it winds up looking like I placed the Recent Threads in the BOTTOM block (which I didn't).
I'd send some screen shots, but I already rewrote everything to meet my needs...
Again - appreciate the work! Just pointing out minor issues I find...
 
the color of the thread titles to the "recent news" on the portal page is now basically illegible. The font coloring on my theme is basically identical to the color of the text displaying the titles. It used to be white prior to the update, and I don't recall doing anything to make it that way.

I'm guessing I need to make some sort of css change, but I have no idea where, and I don't know what text to input to make the titles back to the color white. - any help appreciated.

another note, if you have the setting to cuttoff text in the recent news to a number value (say 1000 characters), and it happens to hit on a quote tag, img tag, url tag, or just about any other bbcode, it does some odd things on the portal page. It will leave portions of the code, missing image icons, or other oddities. I saw we can force the issue with the break bbcode, so I'll manually start doing it this way - or look closely at the homepage to see it's display instead of thinking it's just going to look decent. I don't know if that is an issue the OP wants to look into fixing or not

also, I had some edits to a thread after it had already been promoted to the home page. Those edits didn't seem to show up, (unless it was browser cache). I clicked promote again, and changes showed on the portal. I did this to a few other threads to see, and those did the same.
 
A suggestion to new feature. Add permissions on modules.
I have a module I only want to show to guests and I have several modules I only want to show to my registered and approved members.
 
Alright, I am obviously a dummy.=)

I have a test site setup.

If I go to ../forum/ I get the forums.
If I go to ../forum/portal/ I get the portal.

How do I configure IIS so that when the URL is entered it goes to the portal like 8wayrun.com does?

You need to have your board installed on your Server root directory ...then install Portal in root directory as it is explained in first post . rest Option>Portal> Show navigation tab/Set as route controller before that go to your basic board information remove everything in homepage url option.

I really must be a moron.=)

Anyway, I moved the board to the server root, installed the portal.

I have tried a number of combinations to make the base URL show the portal and the forum button show /forum

What EXACTLY do I need to put in the Basic Board Information?

Or if you could link to the post where Jaxel explains it, that would be even better.

Leave the Basic Board URL - Empty .

Enable Full Friendly URL's .

Options > Xenportal > Enable :
Set as Index Controller
Move forums to /forum/ and set /portal/ as the index.

Show Navigation Tab?
You can choose to disable the navigation tab.

I guess I don't know what you mean when you say, 'set /portal/ as the index.
