[Carla Birch]

Well took the plunge and have ShotTalk.com running 1.2 with xenPorta and everything works correctly with the redirect: http://www.shottalk.com/forums/

Can someone please explain how the auto-promote feature works? Does it promote thread based on likes?

 

[allmoz]

missing cosmetic "border: 0px" on ".recentNews .newsDate" at EWRblock_RecentNews.css
if not it will show the border of secondaryContent if set in the style

This is a great addon - although I can't seem to get recentnews to work, and there is no recentslider block. Please help

Do you mean promoting threads as in putting them as Recent News stories on the front page? If so then no, it's not based on likes, it works based on the forum(s) you specify in the RecentNews block. Anything that is then posted in these forums will be automatically promoted to the front page.

The RecentSlider block was removed in 1.5.6 as it's deprecated. It's been replaced by the RecentFeatures block.

Make sure you've dragged the RecentNews block onto the portal page layout in the ACP and you've configured the options in the RecentNews block. Also don't forget to assign permissions for who can promote threads. Beyond this, you'll need to give more details about what you'd done with the RecentNews block to try and get it to work if you're still having problems.

Thanks! I got them both working - although how do I get an image in recentfeatures? I don't know where to put the slide.jpg.

It works in the same way as the old RecentSlider block, you need to attach the slide.jpg image to the post. You can read more about this in the XenPorta FAQs:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenporta-user-guide-and-faq.28303/

See RecentSlider block for info on the RecentFeatures block as they work in pretty much the same way.

Nevermind - my error was that I didn't change the URL for the block -_- thanks for the help though

So what is the status of Xenporta working with 1.2?
I know he isn't updating the mod until after 1.2 final but what are the major issues with the current Xenporta and Xenforo 1.2 RC1?

@BamaStangGuy has 1.2 running with xenporta he as posted above, personal on my test install i get a error after posting a thread or reply (the post is still made but the big error box is hardly welcoming) It be nice to know if he did a normal install or if he edited the code himself to fix the bug.

For me is:
Xenforo only sets forums route to forums, but can be fixed whit a reroute filter

Index -> portal mixes the portal whit the forum

and if "forums" route is active , it does not load at the portal at index

Enable twitter header in twitter block gives error

and the copiright does not go to the botom in the portal in responsive

o... and the css detail i poted before


beside that it woks
, so im happy

Here is another fix you need: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/8wayrun-com-xenporta-portal.26838/page-124#post-588410

Hey Guys..

I had this working, then I upgraded to 1.2 - I read through all the fixes people did. I have done them all. I removed previous versions, uninstalled it , re-installed it.

I can't even get it to display the portal page with 1 block on it. It just shows XenPorta © Jason Axelrod from 8WAYRUN.COM and thats it.

I must be over looking something - but I have spent about 8 hours on this so far, and cant get anything to display on it at all.

 

[JABRONI]

Where do I need to edit to find where these pull information?

{$news.attach.thumbnailUrl} {$news.attach.filename}

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Works nicely for 1.2 RC1....

 

[thodiral]

Unregistered members cannot view the portal. All of the block have "Show to selected group" selected and I have zero groups selected so it would show to everyone. Know what could be wrong?

 

[Anthony Parsons]

I've had this before... and it can be a nightmare. Normally try clearing the cache on it, even reinstall it has worked.

 

[StRonK]

how can I enlarge the picture below without disrupting the resolution? I've tried the

<a href="{xen:link threads, $news}"><img src="{$news.attach.thumbnailUrl}" alt="{$news.attach.filename}" height="200" width="300" /></a>

code. the picture is expanding but resolution is being disrupted
