CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[HenrikHansen]

Is it possible to show these featured threads in the sidebar as a widget? I want to show 5-10 of them, only as a title and without taking up too much space.

Yeah. Normally it is the addon developers that make the widgets for widget framework. It adds value to the addon and normally increase sales if it supports the widget framework.

I think I found a bug. Please have a look a the webcode here:

http://cliptheapex.com/threads/featured
So that is the real url.
But if i look in the code i found that:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://cliptheapex.com/threads/featured?page=0" />

That is not good. That should look like this:

http://cliptheapex.com/threads/featured

I was under the impression that would have been stripped automatically when on the first page but speaking with Mike it appears not.

I should have a fix soon.

 

[Paul B]

So the fix for this is very simple, but as it's really a non-issue I'm not going to push out an update just yet.

Look for this on line 440 of library/CTA/FeaturedThreads/ControllerPublic/Thread.php

'page' => $page,

Change it to this:

'page' => $page <= 1 ? '' : $page,

If anyone isn't comfortable with doing that, contact me via conversation and I will send the new file to you so you can just FTP it as normal.
I won't post the file here though.

@Brogan - I changed this template slightly "cta_featuredthreads_list_item" will the update effect my changes, everything else is in EXTRA.css.

Any outdated templates must be dealt with.

You can merge or revert and re-edit.

Changes are always detailed in every update: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/cta-featured-threads.2599/update?update=9497

I see there are changes - but should the changes distort it like it currently is?

 

[tommydamic68]

Yeah - I lost all my custom changes, Can I downgrade for now? I have no time to finagle with this.

 

[Paul B]

That's not possible.

All you had to do was merge or make a note of your edits, revert and reapply.

The same with any other upgrade, be it the core software or an add-on.

I merged and the final product is as you see it here. I revered the template and it fixed the mess below, but my custom changes are gone, even EXTRA.css - I guess you have changed other class names as well...

Good thing I am a professional CSS technician. I have fixed this mess above back to its original state...(FYI- @Brogan - since you told me to clearly mark changes in the template when making changes, I have been, so the custom edits were easily obtainable.)

 

[tommydamic68]

When the featured thread shows on forum home (custom icon only) it changes the template, do I need to add my custom template changes elsewhere? I lose the like and icon for likes.



And when will reposition image become available?

I would greatly appreciate how to address this @Brogan

Replicate the change you made for the avatar bit right above for the icon part. It's not really changing the template as you are saying... If it's not using the icon, then its using the avatar which includes your change. You should ensure you have the same thing listed for the icon part of the template.

 

[tommydamic68]

Your a savior @Sheldon - how about the line separating, user, date, views etc. like first image below.

 

[Paul B]

There are two templates:

• cta_featuredthreads_list_item - this is for the individual blocks on forum index, forum view, etc.
• cta_featuredthreads_featured_list_item - this is for the blocks on the dedicated page.

If you want them to look the same you will need to make the same edits to both.

 

[Marcus]

One idea: Images used within the featured thread are listed in the "Upload image dialogue".

 

[Paul B]

I don't understand.
Can you clarify?
