CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Dr.Who]

If you mean on the actual featured blocks, no.

No, I mean, if I click on the featured block, and it takes me to the thread itself. Will Post Ratings maintain functionality.

 

[Paul B]

The original thread should remain unaffected.

I haven't had any reports of it not working and I know many people use both add-ons together.

My Featured Thread Slider is set to 1000x500 and it is scaled to 660x330 on my main page puropedia.org:


However on my Featured Thread Page slider is scaled to 1000x400 not to 1000x500 and it damages the pics for slider:


Is this a bug or did I miss options for Featured Thread Page Slider?

 

[Paul B]

There is only one set of SPs for the slider.
Have you changed the SP value to match the option value?

I don't actually see what the issue is?
I would also need links to check what is going on.

No idea!

The second picture is fatter compared to first one.

I just checked and on the forum view the height is 400px, which is the default.

On the home page the height is 330px, which is expected as the width is narrower (due to the sidebar) so the height reduces automatically to maintain the image ratio.
If the height remained at 400px for both widths, one of the images would be distorted.

I couldn't find the forum view option. Would you mind sharing how to access it?

It's set in the main Slider SP - the Image settings:

Oh, I tried that before, but the height stayed 400px, even when I wrote 500px! So, I thought it must be for something else.

 

[Paul B]

It works for me in all views.
Changing the value from 400px to 600px makes the slider images 600px high.

Are you talking about your forum or mine?

 

[Paul B]

Mine.
I tested several installations and the SP behaves as expected.

Ensure you have no outdated templates and you are editing the SP in the correct style.

If i deactivate the profile tab, it comes to an "no Permission" error on the information tab :S.

Does anyone know how to fix this ?

 

[Paul B]

Which version are you running?

That error was present in a beta but was fixed in the latest stable version.

 

[Nosxxx]

Im running on 2.13.0

 

[Paul B]

Never mind, I've just tested it and it looks like I reverted the fix when I rebuilt my local installation.

I'll get it fixed (again) for 2.13.1.

In the meantime, just leave the profile tab enabled.

 

[Paul B]

If you want to fix it yourself in the meantime, enable debug mode and edit the Template Modification like so:



Add the orange bit of code:

<xen:if is="{$xenOptions.ctaFtProfileTab} && {$canViewFeaturedThreads} && {$user.cta_ft_featured_count}">
    <li id="featuredThreads" class="ctaFtAuthorFeaturedThreads profileContent" data-loadUrl="{xen:link members/featured-threads, $user}"></li>
</xen:if>
$0

I do have outdated templates, but I have no idea how to fix them. So, my solution was adding the code below to extra.css:

Spoiler: Code

.ctaFtSlider .bx-wrapper img {
max-height: 500px;
}

Thanks for the help!

 

[Paul B]

I do have outdated templates, but I have no idea how to fix them.

In most cases you should be able to merge them.
If the system doesn't permit it, make a copy of your current templates and save them to your PC, revert the outdated templates, then add your customisations back.
You can use a program like Notepad++ to compare two files.

I would highly recommend dealing with any outdated templates as there may be other issues which aren't immediately evident.

Going forward, it won't be possible to provide support until you do so.

Second problem is that when you have forum in forum (one forum with athreads and another forum in it) featured slideshow is between forum and threads, any chance to show slide show above all?

I have changed the position for the next release.

The slider and block are now above the sub forum node list.
