CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Paul B]

The support site is running XenForo 1.5.0 Beta 1 and as far as I can tell, CTA FT & P 2.15.0 works fine with it.

 

[Paul B]

Version 2.16 Alpha is now running on the support site: CTA Featured Threads & Portal

Note the New Posts block in the sidebar.

The following option does not seem to be working for me

 

[Martok]

Was that poll featured before or after setting the poll display option in the ACP?

If before, it doesn't retrospectively change existing featured threads, you'd have to do that manually.

Also note that there are two display poll options, it's not clear which one you have in the screenshot. One is for manual featuring, the other for automatic featuring. You will need to set one or both as applicable.

 

[DaveM]

Ok thanks I will look into that then.

Edit - I removed it as a featured that and featured it again and now it works, thanks for the help

I would appreciate some help with a bit of CSS I'm wrestling with. I want to add the same border on the FT on the home page (image on the left) that is on the icon image on the FT page - see below.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Paul B]

It should be the same out of the box as it uses the same classes.

Check that your style properties and templates are not outdated/edited.

If not, then it is likely a custom style issue.

Sorry, I should have clarified, I added the border to the FT icon on the ft thread page myself, I cant seem to find the FT icon on home page class. It gives me this when inspecting the element.

.ctaFtBlock .helper

There are seperate style properties for each.

How do you remove slider from Forum?

There is a style property for it.

You posted about this before: CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid]

... and I responded: CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid]

I will need ACP, phpMyAdmin and FTP access to try and determine what's triggering the error.

OK, thanks. But no outcome yet.
And this is loading /admin.php?users/search so not sure why it would be impacted by thread backgrounds.

 

[Paul B]

You're using the automatic feature function so it's not related to the actions you are performing in the ACP, it's just when the cron runs.

How can i delete all featured threads and start featuring from scratch?

 

[Paul B]

Set the max featured threads in the options to 1 then unfeature the remaining thread.

Note that won't remove any from the archive page or reduce any member featured thread counts to 0.

In order to completely reset everything you would need to uninstall and reinstall.

If this shows https://xenforo.com/community/attachments/slider-page-png.91978/ then I know you mentioned it to me before but just noticed your image, is there a quick way to do the slider with arrows at either side?

 

[Paul B]

Do you mean as it is in the image or to move the arrows outside the image?

If the former, you just need to upload the images in the .zip to your style directory and ensure there is more than one slider entry.

If the latter, you would need to adjust the Style Properties/CSS and possibly template code.

 

[Zynektic]

The latter, I did it that way before.

Could I request it as a feature if it would be something you could add in for a future release?
