CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Nicky Vermeersch]

That error indicates a syntax error with the file but no-one else has reported the issue and I'm using the same file on multiple sites so try downloading it again and uploading the files once more.

Downloaded the zip file again, reuploaded. But the same blank page still shows when I visit http://www.mcmiddleearth.com/threads/featured/

Curious.

If you can provide ACP and FTP access I can take a look.

 

[Paul B]

Oh wait, is your PHP version 5.3?

 

[Nicky Vermeersch]

Oh wait, is your PHP version 5.3?

Hmm, yeah. It is on 5.3. Using Centos 6.6. Could it be because of the php version? According to Cento's repo it is the 'latest and up to date', but I know they are sometimes behind the latest advancements

 

[Paul B]

Yes, it's due to the PHP version.

When I optimised the code, I introduced an issue related to PHP 5.3 and earlier.

There is one other place which will also error, related to account preferences.

Let me PM you some updated files which will resolve it.

Allright thanks! I know that I will have to update relatively soon with Xenforo soon depending on more modern versions of php as well. I'll just have to figure out how to get those epel releases on my OS.

 

[Paul B]

I just sent two updated files via PM.

Let me know if it fixes the problem.

 

[Paul B]

If anyone else is running PHP 5.3 and earlier, I have updated the release package here: http://support.cliptheapex.com/threads/version-2-15-0.239/

If you've already upgraded to 2.15, you just need to upload the files again.

Suggestion: Provide the ability to feature albums or resources from within the Xenforo Media Gallery or the Resources add-on.

 

[Paul B]

It's not possible.

The content types are totally different.

The add-on would have to be rewritten and renamed.

Okay. Just thought I'd ask. I saw a Media album on my site that I thought I'd like to feature.

evening,

is there a tutorial on how to set up the slider, i went to feature a thread and selected slider got my picture as a test posted and shows like so

 

[Paul B]

I responded to your thread on the support forum.

You need to use an image at least as large as the slider area, otherwise it's going to be stretched to fit and look rubbish, like so.

The new Poll/Block feature is very cool, but where do I find it in the style properties? I'd like to add a radius setting.

 

[Paul B]

There are no SPs for it.
It uses the same poll template as used on a thread.

It's inside the featured thread li though, so you can target it using the CSS classes.

I did try setting something for "NoAutoHeader PollContainer" in extra.css, but that didn't appear to work.

This thread should give you some pointers: http://support.cliptheapex.com/threads/questions-poll-background-alerts.185/

Lets say i wanted to add this to my custom pages/page nodes. Is this possible? because i might not want to use this feature on the forum tab. I might want to include it on my pages instead.

 

[Paul B]

It would require custom development.

The data is only exposed to specific templates.
