Something is clearly not right with your installation.

Has anything changed on the server or with the forum installation?

Errors of this nature shouldn't happen unless there has been some sort of issue related to the database, templates, etc.

 

[m1ne]

I haven't done anything at all recently.
This error appeared twice today, never before.

My CTA featured threads stopped working for some reason. I am unable to upload icons to featured threads. Anyone else ever experienced the same?

Feature Request: Disallow manual featuring if the most recent manual feature was less than X hours ago

Reason: I have multiple mods allowed to do features. The rule is that the mod wait at least 24h since the last feature so that the feature gets adequate exposure on our front page, but the moderators often don't follow that rule.

Quick question before I break down and purchase this,

I have Social Groups for XenForo installed and would like to have the groups and other content similar to this: http://theartcolony.ning.com/ on the homepage.

Is that going to be possible with this addon?

 

[Paul B]

It's unlikely unless the social groups add-on exposes the content for other pages.

You would have to check with the author of the add-on.

Hi,

Can I feature a thread in a specific node? For example show a featured thread in node X but not in other nodes (and control if I want to show it in the main page or not?)

Thanks

 

[Paul B]

Not for a specific featured thread only, no.

The options are global and apply to all featured threads: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/cta-featured-threads-portal.2599/update?update=9069

Not for a specific featured thread only, no.

Is it possible to add it for a payment?

 

[Paul B]

Would this be an additional option on a per featured thread basis?

How would it work with the global options?
The featured thread option would take precedence, followed by the global options?

 

[Moshe1010]

Yes. It would be a case by case basis, so global options always apply unless a featured thread options are triggered.

Lets say I have a thread called X in forum Y. I would like to show the X thread only in forum Y without showing it on the main page. However, I would also like to have the following options:

1. Choose multiple nodes for a featured thread. The thread wouldn't necessarily need to be in the node I would like to feature it.

2. Let the admin choose if he/she wants to show the featured thread on the main page and for how long it would be shown. For example, add an option for how long it would be shown on the main page separately from the nodes. Can configure X days for nodes and Y days for the main page.

 

[Paul B]

It's potentially doable although very niche.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be moving house twice in the next few months and my PC will be out of commission for some of that time, then there's XF2 ...

I just noticed this formatting glitch when there's a notice displayed w/ featured threads. The avatar of the featured thread appears above the featured thread (in duplicate). If I disable the notice, the problem disappears. Happens on both Chrome and Firefox.

 

[Paul B]

I suspect that may be due to some invalid code in your notice or a template edit.

There are no issues on the support site or my local installs.

 

[TerryP]

I am having a hard time finding this phrase. IE: If I wanted to capitalize "Featured," or in another node change it to "Breaking."

Where can I change that word, Brogan?

 

[Paul B]

It's a standard phrase - just filter on featured and you should find it.

It's more than likely cta_ft_featured.

I'm trying to change a widget that uses the posters avatar to the attachment image but receiving this error

An exception occurred: Argument 1 passed to XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::helperAvatarHtml() must be of the type array, null given

I'm trying to change: <xen:avatar user="$thread" img="true" size="s" />

to: <xen:avatar user="$featuredThread" img="true" size="s" />

Any help to get it working would be appreciated.

 

[Mike Edge]

@Brogan Any idea?

 

[Paul B]

You'll have to investigate whether the array is compatible with xen:avatar.
