CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[cdub]

How do I add more space between the featured threads on the featured threads page? They're really close together and it's hard to differentiate between them.

 

[Paul B]

Style Properties -> CTA Featured Threads Page -> Container

I've been getting this error recently:

I rebuilt the CTA featured threads cache in tools...I'll see if that helps.

Nah that didn't work.

You can see the error on the live site here:

http://www.filmschool.org/threads/featured

 

[cdub]

Going into the options for CTA, changing something and saving seems to have fixed it.

 

[Paul B]

Yes, those errors can occur if the option cache is not updated correctly when upgrading.

Just saving without changing any options is generally enough to resolve it.

 

[radenmas]

i installed this, turned on auto featuring, selected the forum, use "all threads" as criteria. and enabled "featured thread page".

but i cant access the featured thread page at all. going to gamexeon.com/forum/threads/featured goes to error not found. the links also did not appear on nav.

its like CTA Featured thread & portal did not get called at all.

any idea whats wrong?

thanks

 

[radenmas]

nevermind, it was the permission that was not set to allow

EDIT:
sorry, its only the manual featuring that works. auto featuring not works despite i select "all threads" as criteria.

 

[Mike Edge]

ohhhh.. wonder what is new in it!! "The version currently running on this site is 2.16.1"

 

[Paul B]

Nothing new - it's a very minor third point release which just fixes a couple of small bugs.

Typically new features are only added to second point releases.

 

[Paul B]

Brogan updated CTA Featured Threads & Portal with a new update entry:

2.16.1 Halloween Bug Fix

This is a very small release which just resolves a couple of bugs.


Bugs Fixed

• Fixed censoring bug with titles
• Fixed bug related to the core XF bbcodestrip function (it was fixed in XF 1.5.1 but I am applying the same fix for those who don't upgrade XF)

That's it!

Read the rest of this update entry...

License holders can download version 2.16.1 from here: Releases | CTA Featured Threads & Portal

@Brogan - I remove the FT link on the menu bar at some point, any recommendation how to add it back in?

 

[Paul B]

Check Style Properties -> CTA Featured Threads Settings.

 

[tommydamic68]

Check Style Properties -> CTA Featured Threads Settings.

I think I may have removed it from the the template accidentally.

 

[Brad L]

I'm experiencing some trouble with the options in the image below. Regardless of the settings I use Featured Threads are displayed on the forum view and new post pages, but they are not shown on the forum list page.
XF 1.4.11
Featured Threads 2.16
Default Style

 

[Paul B]

Those Style Properties are just for the title.

The Options control which pages the blocks are displayed on.

 

[tommydamic68]

Check Style Properties -> CTA Featured Threads Settings.

I think I may have removed it from the the template accidentally.

Any ideas @Brogan

 

[Paul B]

Well you said you had removed it from the template, so revert any changes to the template.
