[8WR] XenPorta (Portal) 1.6.0

[Mendo]

I've noticed if I link a 'members only' forum to the RecentNews block it displays the posts on the portal to guests. Is there any way to have it only show those to members who have access?

No. The portal works because of how heavily it is cached.

Since I don't feel like going through all 59 pages, how can I create a block that shows new posts from selected forums in the same way as RecentNews? I suppose changing exporting RN and then replace "(whatever keyword)" with "post" won't work. Thanks.

I tried looking this one up a while ago, there were 2 other plugins that attempted this but apparently it has technical limitations and sounds like it ate up a lot of resources getting new posts.

Tell me, what could be the problem?

Hello.

What did you update?

 

[shaurgon]

mysql was updated from 5.1.63 to 5.1.66 =)
I solved the problem:
At step 6

/library/XenForo/ViewRenderer/Abstract.php(215): EWRporta_ViewPublic_Custom->renderHtml()

we get array $view. In array we have next params:
portal:

_params['layout1'] = portal​

/forum/:

_params['layout1'] = index​

_params['layout2'] = portal​

For fix this bug need disable Index (index > portal) in options XenPorta

p.s. i think is "dog-nail" and problem is further =)

Hi,

Currently my media block takes up a lot of space because the icons are this size:

Is there a way to make these smaller so I can get them to appear on one line?

 

[DRE]

Does anyone have a RecentThreads 2 Block that works with the latest version of Xenporta that they would like to share?

Yes, there is... css is your friend! Add to Extra.css:

.mediaList li { width: WHAT YOU WANT; }

Thanks Jaxel!

I couldn't find anything. Would you mind giving the name or point to the link if you remember it? Thanks.

Just tried to add this code. It doesn't work. I tried adding px onto the end, but that doesn't work either.

Try this:

.mediaList li { width: 200px !important; }

 

[oman]

Try this:

.mediaList li { width: 200px !important; }

Still doesn't work

Oh! You're talking about the XenPorta block, for some reason I thought you were talking about the blocks in XenMedio itself...

In that case, change .mediaList to .mediaSmall

Okay, this is driving me mad. The RecentNews block is only showing the nav for it, with no posts. Any ideas?
