[Dakis]

Yes the RecentFeatures one is the new one that replaced the old slider block

* Go to ACP --> XenPorta --> Categories ---> Click on Create New Categories

* Create the Categories you want (ie, news, articles, etc)

* Go to your layout and put the block NewsCategories where you want in the layout (sidebar recommended)

* To add a thread to a category, click on the bottom of the first post where there is a button that says Edit (not the edit button for the post) and select which category you want the thread to be in.

* Now any categories containing threads should show up on your portal page

man, i'm not able to find this edit link anywhere. is it on the portal page? or the thread listing? or on the thread itself? i've tried them all and i'm not seeing any categories to choose from.

Is there an RSS block available at all?

Maybe its a good idea to Trash XenPorta Sidebar and use Widget Framework for the sidebar instead.

Actually this is, what I am planning to do.

 

[DirtRider]

How would you do this then

How would you do this then as I do have Widget Framework installed

I didn't do it yet, I'm just planning to do so.

But Trash XenPorta Sidebar seems to be a good step by step instruction and it didn't seem to be too complicated...

 

[DirtRider]

Thanks I may as well do it then as well

 

[Lone Wolf]

Did you find anyone who knows how to do this?

I have my home page set to use XenPorta portal. The Index Page Route is set to portal/. In the XenPorta options, I have Forum (forum-# > forum) ticked. When I create a custom layout, it doesn't apply to the home portal page. How do I use a different layout for the portal page? Thanks.

@Jaxel,

I would recommend putting a conditional in your actionIndex function of EWRporta_ControllerPublic_Thread that will back out sooner and return the parent if the $response object is not an instance of _View.

At the moment your code sets the format key of the thread array, regardless of the controller response. I have seen this interfere with other add-ons where a check for the thread param would not normally be expected.

I can't see a particular reason why you might need that code to run during redirects/reroutes and it would save you from checking the $response object twice later on in the code.

I'd really love to see some tweaks to this mod to make it more responsive. The accordion is the culprit mainly.

The Recent Features block seems to display fine on my phone.

1. Are you running the latest versions of both XenForo and XenPorta?
2. Can you post the server error?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered repeatedly - if so, a link would be great - does this have a feature to automatically promote the most liked threads in certain categories to certain blocks in the portal? A bit like reddit... Thanks

 

[Rob]

@MegaFora I think that would be a custom modification.

Hi guys! How do you change the name of the navigation tab for the portal? I don't have it set to index because I want it as a separate news page.
How do I change the name of the tab from 'Home' to 'News'?
I looked back about 10 pages in this thread, but couldn't find an answer. Thanks for any insight!
