All of the custom template names for the pages are listed here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/cta-featured-threads-portal.2599/update?update=13220

For the forum view, etc. you can use the default XF ad templates.

There is a resource listing all of the default XF ad template locations.

@Brogan is there any way to achieve this:

As it is now:



And what I am aiming to achieve with the image:



The image will be the full sized image but reduced in size to fit the container; retaining it's proportional value.

The image is the attached image within the original thread and is 300px x 480px in size.

With thanks as always for your help and guidance.

I suspect you can likely achieve it with the relevant changes to the options and style properties.

It's not something I can specifically assist with though as it's custom styling.

 

[Davyc]

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction @Brogan

Achieved what I was after plus a bit more lol.

 

[Paul B]

That looks great!

Nice job.

About the only thing I can think of would be to remove the permission checks in the code, which would serve all featured threads to all visitors, regardless whether they have permission to view the original threads.

I'd be completely fine with that. Which files should I be looking at to accomplish that?

 

[Paul B]

Unfortunately my PC is still in boxes and I haven't had time to look for a new desk and chair so I can't give any specific instructions.

It's going to involve editing the controller/model php files and removing the section(s) of code which relates to permission checks.

Is there a way to display the latest featured poll in the sidebar (via widgetframework)?

 

[Paul B]

There might be but I don't use that add-on so I wouldn't be able to help.

Hi Brogan,

Just a quick question:

On the home page, I'm looking to change the title (i.e. the one shown in the browser tab). Currently it just uses the site name, and I'd like to add some custom text before this.

I've tried editing the cta_featuredthreads_featured template, but this only seems to control the h1 text on the page, and the meta data.

Would you know of a possible solution?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Paul B]

From memory, that should be the correct template.

The xen:h1 tag sets the page title.
The xen:title tag sets the browser tab title.

If you just use xen:title, the h1 will be generated from it.
If you just use xen:h1, the browser tab title will be the board title.

 

[CyberStorm]

Thanks for the quick clarification.

I managed to get it working by adding:

<xen:title>{Custom Text}</xen:title>

Above:

<xen:container var="$head.description">
<meta name="description" content="{$xenOptions.boardDescription}" />
</xen:container>

This seems to add to the board title, like how thread titles work.

Have you had time to assemble your PC yet? I had to disable CTA Portal 6 days ago due to it causing my site to take 30+ seconds to load...

 

[Paul B]

Unfortunately not - I still don't have a desk, nor PC.

Even then, I'm not sure I can provide the code changes required as it is outside the scope of the function of the add-on and it would effectively require custom development.

Well can you refer someone who can get the work done as quickly as possible? This is an essential addon for my forum that I've paid for and I need support for it to get it working correctly again like yesterday.
