CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Paul B]

Yes, it should be simple enough to tweak the code to do that but of course it would be overwritten when upgrading again.

 

[Creaky]

Just noticed the RSS icon for the featured threads doesn't show with a UI.X style.

I think it's because the social media links, including the RSS icon, are in a seperate template and not in the footer template the default style uses. That template also doesnt include the {xenhrase rss}</a></li> your template modification uses.

 

[Paul B]

I suspect Mike will have an update out for it soon.

Out of interest, why do you want to exclude forums?

Because I'm using the RSS feed for featured threads to automatically post to twitter. I have a general off-topic forum that has a lot of threads that I wouldn't think would be of any interest to twitter.

I presume that the off topic forum is open to the public? If it was a private forum then it wouldn't feature in the (guest) feed.

Yeah that's true but it's not a forum I would want to make private. Eliminating some silly thread titles from being posted to our twitter isn't worth doing that.

I'll look at the rss file later and see if I can come up with something unless someone would be so kind to post some code. (I'll paypal you! )

 

[Paul B]

It has to be done in PHP, there isn't a template for it.

@Brogan I see you added the hook and template for "cta_featuredthreads_featured_custom_sidebar" but could you please also add them for "cta_featuredthreads_featured_custom_sidebar_bottom" so other add-on's could have sidebar blocks that display under the others and not above them?

Right now i have just edited your template to move the hook to below the other sidebar blocks, but it be nice to have Top, Mid and Bottom ones

Great update as always.

 

[Paul B]

I'll look into that for the next release.

Does anyone know how to use Widget Framework with CTA?

 

[FredC]

Just call the hook in WF when creating a new widget.

There's information in the FAQ tab.

Little layout issue

 

[Paul B]

I'll have to defer to someone else as I don't use the WF add-on.

 

[jOOc]

@Robust looks like you have the default layout in the widget, you may need to change it to a sidebar layout

 

[Robust]

@jOOc Now it looks like this:

It's not the issue of Widget Framework because it works fine on forum_view (https://www.gamingforums.net/forums)

 

[Martok]

@Robust it doesn't look like you have read the help about WF in the FAQs properly. There's no need to use the sidebar hook. Please see this post that is referred to in the FAQ.

I read it, but I tried it and it didn't work for me so I tried the hook. Tried that post again and I think I forgot to disable the CTA sidebar, but it works now.

When clicking the forum button, I get this:

Click on the save button in the options - that will update the array.
