[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal)

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm working with Wizard on this and here is the procedure I have followed:

- Installed Xenforo on the root web directory at http://www.waywardinn.com
- Uploaded the add-on and copied its files to the correct locations in js/ and library/
- Installed the add-on using the .xml file provided.
- Enabled the "Set as Index Controller" option in the admin CP.
- Enabled "Use Full Friendly URLs" in the forum options.

Now, with the "Board URL" option set to the root directory (http://www.waywardinn.com) the "Forum" button on the forum main page attempts to go to http://www.waywardinn.com/forum and throws a 404 because there is no such directory.
With the "Board URL" option set to http://www.waywardinn.com/forum the same thing occurs.
When I disable the "Set as Index Controller" option on the add-on, the forum will appear as expected on the root http://www.waywardinn.com directory regardless of what the "Board URL" is set to.

The server is running PHP 5.3, MySQL 5.1.56, and Litespeed v4.0.20. All changes here were made including a graceful restart of Litespeed which seemed to help things take effect.
Obviously this isn't really the behavior I'm looking for - the forum should appear on the forum/ directory while the home page is all that appears on the root directory. Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks,
Ghan

We still have this issue. Any ideas any one?
 
My best guess is that something basic in the steps you described was missed. If you want to pm me an admin account for your site I can take a quick look. I prefer not to access your webserver so if you can offer a screenshot from your server admin tool of your folders, that should be enough. Specifically, your root folder showing the folders it contains.
 
Cool site.
I love the Space invaders graphics :) Wooo .. it changes too .. like the PacMan :)
My son and I are playing PacMan for the wii - it's more like Monopoly ... but he's learning the Ghost names (Inky, Blinky, etc !)
I wanted to see some "Static Content" on your site.
How about a wiki ? With some Core information about Gaming on Linux ?
I guess my question would be ... if someone was talking about linux on another forum ... and they said ... that's a gaming question .... Check out gamingonlinux.info .. they probably have a list of what you require.
What would that list be ?
I like your Xenporta HomePage.

are http://www.gamingonlinux.com and http://www.gamingonlinux.info
the same ?
 
Thanks for the kind words, the two domains are the same yes the .info now just points to the newer .com.

I did have a database built up on games, which i am currently re-doing to match the style of Xen :)
 
Do you have the .htaccess? if so what's in-it ?
# Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
# cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
# SecFilterEngine Off
# SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
# line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
# of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
#RewriteBase /xenforo

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]
</IfModule>

Thats what I found inside.
 
I am a bit confused. One of my user cant edit the News (delete)
What permissions do i have to set that the user is allowed to edit News?
Edit: User can see edit Button but "has no permission to view this page or perform this action."
XenPorta is just a window. It is a way of looking at the information you already have on your site differently.

The "News" are regular forum threads. The permissions are all set up through normal XF permissions. Normally, users do not have the permission to delete threads. All of these permissions are controlled in the normal location, ACP > Users then take a look at the Group Permissions for whatever group the user belongs to. Don't check XenPorta permissions as this question is not related to XenPorta
 
[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal) v1.3.7 CHANGELOG
BEFORE installing this upgrade, you should UNINSTALL all custom modules not written by me. After you have installed this upgrade, you may then reinstall your custom modules not written by me. If you fail to do this, settings for your modules may be lost in the aether.
  • This is an important update concerning compatibility with custom modules written by OTHER people. If you want to continue using modules written by OTHER people (or yourself), I recommend you upgrade to this version as soon as possible. Looking at some of the modules other people have made thus far, I've been noticing that people just keep forgetting that unique identifies are required for ALL settings. This update addresses situations where people just can't be bothered to make unique identifiers.
    1. BEFORE installing this upgrade, you should UNINSTALL all custom modules not written by me. After you have installed this upgrade, you may then reinstall your custom modules not written by me. If you fail to do this, settings for your modules may be lost in the aether.
    2. Setting names will now automatically attach the module name to the front, should the module author forget to include them. (which is like EVERYBODY) So if you have a setting called "video_height", in a module called "youtube", when saving to the database, it will be referred to as "youtube_video_height".
    3. Settings will be accessible from both the new and the old naming conventions. So the setting for "youtube_video_height" will be accessible from both $option.youtube_video_height AND $option.video_height from within template of the specified module.
  • Users now have the option to customize their portal layout!
 
Leave the spanish translation with addon for spanish install, phrases for translation and Spanish translation modules.
Modules has added phrases hardcoded in original modules. Phrases are in spanish install addon and spanish phrases translation.

[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal) v1.3.7 CHANGELOG
is there any reason why my left position wouldnt work as expected, and instead displays underneath the centre position?
is there something in particular i should be looking at?

nvm. i was editing portal/modules instead of editing portal/custom :oops:
 
I just uploaded a new version of 1.3.7... I didn't increment the addon number because nothing actually changed in the XML... you DONT need to upgrade the script... just upload new versions of the files.

This update fixes the issues kill switch to addons not installed. So if you don't have XenMedio installed, and you try to use the XenMedio modules, instead of it breaking your portal, it will instead fail silently. As well, I have restructured some of the folders. Now only module XML files in the "XML" folder will be installed/upgraded automatically with each update. Module XML files in the "XML_Addons" folder must be installed/upgraded manually with each update (or you can move them to the "XML" folder before you run the upgrade script to have it done automatically).
 
Can we disable the "customize this page" link?
I will strongly suggest that you not disable that link. It offers your site's users the ability to arrange the page in a way that works best for them, without affecting the experience of any other user.

With that said, you can easily remove the link. Template: EWRporta_Navtabs, comment out or delete the following line
Code:
<li><a href="{xen:link 'portal/custom'}">{xen:phrase customize_this_page}</a></li>

Please try playing around with it before removing the code. We can all be resistant to change but this is a REALLY good thing.
