CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Anthony Parsons]

However, if you use the standard ad_sidebar_* templates, the ads will also show on the page.

Ok, knowing this... what would be the best method to target this page specifically with xen:if statements for the default XF templates?

 

[Paul B]

The template name is cta_featuredthreads_featured.

However, you don't specifically need to do anything if you use the ad_sidebar_* templates.
Anything you add there will automatically show on the page.

Yer, but I don't want to run ads on all sidebar areas / locations, hence needing to know the specifics for this add-on to target it and not other pages with sidebar.

 

[Paul B]

Gotcha.

Yes, in which case this will do it just for the page: <xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == 'cta_featuredthreads_featured'">

If you want to add more than one template, use an array:
<xen:if is="in_array({$contentTemplate}, array('cta_featuredthreads_featured', 'another_page'))">

@Brogan

I've got into this addon a little late but it's shaping up really well. I dont know if you've answered this question before but are there any plans to add categories and authors? I'd like promoted threads to remain in their forums but be listed under category and author headings via the menu.

I'd also like the option to be able to restyle the first post only on promoted threads (and category and author pages too) to make them look like articles or article lists. etc.

I think with those changes it would become a proper frontend from XF.

Categories/tagging has been suggested by a few.
I don't currently have any plans to implement anything like that, although a couple of people have expressed an interest in funding development of it.

A "blog style" layout for threads which are featured has been suggested by one or two.
It's on the list for consideration but not something I have looked in to yet.

Thanks for the quick response as always

You can carry on using it.

Can I ask why?

 

[sami simo]

Hi @Brogan, the only way I can forgive you dropping this addon is to start developing a new CMS for XF

 

[melbo]

Will your support forum reopen? I just discovered it today but hadn't had a chance to register yet.

I had this on my list to purchase for an upcoming project we are still in the planning stages with.

Will you be selling/supporting this on another site? Or is this not available anymore?

 

[Allan]

Surely the developers will include similar features in version 2.0 and Paul prefers to export its add-on.

I assume that of course

Everything to do with this add-on has moved to the dedicated site here: http://support.cliptheapex.com/

it would be great to see the demo on a "full width page"-style.

I think a "grid"-layout would be nice when using a "full width"-style, since most images are not of very big width in order to cover the full width of the page.
