[8wayRun.Com] XenPorta (Portal)

We just upgraded to the latest version of xF (we hadn't upgraded yet) our style and then the latest portal. As we're adjusting things from the upgrade, I noticed that the portal block for 'recent media' is not displaying properly.

See here: TeeVeeTown

Any suggestions on how to fix that?

You're talking about the sidebar module right? Yeah not only is it not displaying properly, but it somehow got connected to your Random Quotes modules.

Try opening the edit screen in a new window, instead of the popup.

Thanks Jaxel. So simply right-clicking the edit button should do? I'll give that a shot.

Another question we have is regarding images in the RecentNews module. I have made some minor changes to the code (added a small part to the WHERE clause, as well as removed the avatar of the poster), but if we start off a new post in the news forum with an image, it will not always show up. We have not yet managed to pinpoint exactly when it does and when it does not, but would not mind seeing if this is something unique to us or whether there's others experiencing the same.

I have yet to update to the latest version though, so perhaps that will help out.
 
Is there a way to lock modules so they cannot be moved.

Say you have adverts at the top of your content you want always shown, with this customize link in theory people can just push them to the bottom and never see them = disaster.
 
I haven't experimented but, the XF templates for ads in the header area and below the nav bar shouldn't be affected by the block moves.

So, I moved the media sidebar block to the bottom so that you can see it clearly. It's missing the background to the block. Any idea of what I need to do to fix that?

As an experiment, try adding a 4th Recent News article to your portal to see if that fixes it.

Thanks for the suggestion. But, nothing worked until I enabled the search bar on the recent media module. It's working now. A little odd, but it's good now :D

Strangely enough, the image now showed up. We edited the image out, reuploaded the image, and saved. No love for us, though. Until this morning, when suddenly it showed.

I'm thinking it might be due to the old version being cached somehow, which makes me wonder if it would be possible to implement some feature to force a particular module to be refreshed?
 
HELP! My oh my oh my, I did a boo boo somewhere but can't figure it out. :(

I want to place a local weather module on my portal, SO, I generated one on weather.com, copied the code they produced, opened the html module, removed the links, and pasted the code in. (code below). I have a completely messed up weather module. I'm sure that I did something wrong - was I not supposed to use the html module for this??

See code -

Code: 
<div class="messageText ugc baseHtml">
    <div class="secondaryContent">
<div align=center>
<br />
<table border="0"  width="90%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" valign="center">
<tr>
<td style="border:0"><div id="wx_module_3943">
  <a href="http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USOH1075">Youngstown Weather Forecast, OH</a>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

  /* Locations can be edited manually by updating 'wx_locID' below.  Please also update */
  /* the location name and link in the above div (wx_module) to reflect any changes made. */
  var wx_locID = 'USOH1075';

  /* If you are editing locations manually and are adding multiple modules to one page, each */
  /* module must have a unique div id.  Please append a unique # to the div above, as well */
  /* as the one referenced just below.  If you use the builder to create individual modules  */
  /* you will not need to edit these parameters. */
  var wx_targetDiv = 'wx_module_3943';

  /* Please do not change the configuration value [wx_config] manually - your module */
  /* will no longer function if you do.  If at any time you wish to modify this */
  /* configuration please use the graphical configuration tool found at */
  /* https://registration.weather.com/ursa/wow/step2 */
  var wx_config='SZ=180x150*WX=FHW*LNK=SSNL*UNT=F*BGI=seasonal1*MAP=null|null*DN=mahoningvalleytalk.com*TIER=0*PID=1257860977*MD5=e9283af04ff63f3eb5b709c4bcc7aa79';

  document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="'+document.location.protocol+'//wow.weather.com/weather/wow/module/'+wx_locID+'?config='+wx_config+'&proto='+document.location.protocol+'&target='+wx_targetDiv+'"></scr'+'ipt>');
</script></td>

</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Here is my module with this code -

weather.webp

It's supposed to look like this -
weather2.webp
