[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal)

[Vincent]

Is it just with me, or does the "Promote Options" button change to:





<span>Promote Options</span>
After you have clicked Promote Thread

I am not very familiar with twitter, just added the Portals Block but the Twitter logo is very similiar to the Borders Color
Does anyone know where/how to change the Logo http://widgets.twimg.com/i/widget-logo.png ? Thanks

Find the Twitter XML file in: \library\EWRporta\XML\Twitter.xml

In the XML file find: http://widgets.twimg.com/i/widget-logo.png
Replace it with: http://yourdomain.com/images/twitter_darker.png

Import the changed XML Module and you're good to go

We can all change the logo out easily. Template: EWRporta_Block_Twitter

Find the below code and replace it to the path of whatever image you desire

<img src="http://widgets.twimg.com/i/widget-logo.png" alt="" />

How can I declare the size of the fb images that load in the block? I know they are 50 x 50.

I looked at the XML, EWRPorta_block_Facebook, in the Library and JS folders. I couldn't locate anything helpful. There has to be a way on our end to declare those dimensions but I can't find it.

That's an iframe with the content provided by Facebook so you have no control over it.

Yeah you do...

/js/8wayrun/facebook.css

 

[Paul B]

Ah, my mistake.
I always understood FB iframe content/styling was controlled at their end?

I guess you're just overriding the FB CSS?

 

[Ryan Kent]

I know how to declare dimensions within the src= string. Can image dimensions be declared as part of CSS?

I tried adding the below to the facebook.CSS file but it didn't work. Keep in mind I am not trying to actually change any sizes but merely declare the sizes to optimize the page loading.

.fan_box.commections_grid.grid_item img{
    height: 50px;
    width: 50px;
}

 

[Paul B]

Shouldn't it be connections, rather than commections?

I agree that the current white logo doesn't display well on light themes. But it appears great on dark themes.

Personally I like the current logo but need to change the color for use with the light style.

You can always save it to your computer and re-color it.

That's exactly what I did. I shared it a couple posts later

nice catch.

I adjusted the code but it still is not working.

.fan_box.connections_grid.grid_item img{
    height: 50px;
    width: 50px;
}

Facebook caches CSS... so you have to update the Facebook template and add ?1 (and increment on each change) to the URL of the css.

The URL in EWRPorta_block_facebook already had a ?1 so I changed it to ?2. It is now as follows:

<fb:fan width="240" height="291" connections="12" stream="false" logobar="false" css="{$xenOptions.boardUrl}/js/8wayrun/facebook.css?2" profile_id="{$option.facebook_profile}"></fb:fan>

I did a CTRL+F5 refresh of my home page but the issue remained.

 

[Jaxel]

Because your CSS code is wrong...

.fan_box.connections_grid.grid_item img

should be:

.fan_box .connections_grid .grid_item img

The lack of spaces imply class="fan_box connections_grid grid_item", instead of nesting.

I upgrade my Forum to 101 and the addon is not working
unexpected err ...

I'm learning. Thanks for sharing your experience. IT WORKED!

I suggest adding that change to the next update so all can benefit. Thanks for the help Jaxel.

Hey. I installed my forums at http://www.domain.com/forum and i want to get the portal at http://www.domain.com just like 8wayrun.com

I know this is a long thread but if you plan on using this module, you really need to read it

Go to ACP > Options > XenPorta and check the box Set As Index Controller.
