CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Tattooed Theist]

Tried scrolling through to find because I'm sure it's been answered, too much to read through though.

I'm wanting to resize the blocks on the homepage to the same size that they show on Forum_list.
So all block are the same size, uniform.
Attachment included for what I mean.

Tried rifling through templates, property styles, etc with no luck

So all block are the same size, uniform.

This guide explains how to do that: http://support.cliptheapex.com/threads/make-the-home-portal-page-blocks-the-same-height.346/

Hi @Brogan ,
I have question for you: do you know how to change the page title of the featured thread page? When I'm viewing my home page right now, on my tab it is written "Featured Threads", I would like to change this.

Thank you sir and have a great evening

Everything is phrased so you can search for that phrase and edit it to suit.

Hi Brogan,

How can I remove the top breadcrumb from threads/featured?

 

[Paul B]

There is a style property which will remove top and bottom breadcrumbs from the page.

 

[Mike Edge]

@Brogan I have it checked off already, but it still shows..

 

[Paul B]

It's likely an issue with your custom style.

Remove the conditional from the cta_featuredthreads.css template:

<xen:if is="@ctaFtRemovePageBreadcrumbs">
.cta_featuredthreads_featured .breadBoxTop,
.cta_featuredthreads_featured .breadBoxBottom
{
    display: none;
}
</xen:if>

Excellent add-on.

Is there a way two display more than one block, while the threads are picked up randomly from 'Featured Threads'?

I do not want any kind of sorting. Basically, in case of two blocks, each time the pages reloads, it should display two different threads. This approach is the default if one block is used. However, I do not know why it cannot be implemented using more than one block.

Thanks!

Feature your avatar. I'm making damn sure people know this is a feature block. lol

Would you please share with us the code of 'Avatar Feature'?
It is nice!

 

[Paul B]

It's not possible to have multiple random blocks.

 

[AliS]

No intention to implement this feature in the near future?

 

[Paul B]

I'll add it to the list for consideration but no plans currently.

 

[jauburn]

Need a way to feature media.

 

[Paul B]

This add-on features threads only.

A different add-on would be required to feature media.

any idea?

 

[Paul B]

That suggests there is an image/attachment missing from the file system, which is present in the thread.

Has anything happened on the server or any files been manually deleted?

 

[m1ne]

I removed some old plugin data from /js and /library, that's it.
Getting the error many times, not just once.

 

[Paul B]

It's related to automatic featuring.

One of the threads which it is attempting to feature has some corrupt data related to attachments.
There is a mismatch in the database for that thread between what should be attached and what is actually in the file system on the server.

Thanks, I can definitely fix that.
