XenPorta v1.4.5 BETA TEST!

Jaxel

Well-known member
This release is absolute ****ing beta! If it ****s up your forums... not my problem! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Okay, first things first... This is the single biggest update to a mod I have ever done. Because of this, I have completely deprecated previous versions of this mod. If you currently have a previous version of XenPorta, you MUST uninstall it before installing this one. As well, don't forget to remove the appropriate files from the /js and /library folders before uploading the new files. IN ADDITION, check your database and make sure all EWRporta tables have been dropped.

XENPORTA CHANGES

The entire administration of XenPorta has been moved out of the public controller and into the admin controller. The new sections for modifying your XenPorta settings can be found in your adminCP for any administrators with the "option" and "node" permissions. If you are running your forums in debug mode, you may also edit blocks and their options directly if you have the "addOn" permission.

Everything in this new version has changed... custom module blocks create by OTHER people will not be compatible with this new version. Its very easy to update the old custom blocks to match the new formatting, but you should ask the original custom block authors to do that. Since the new version of XenPorta uses a built in "block creation system" that works pretty much exactly the same as the "addOn creation system" of XenForo, I will not be writing a guide on how to construct the XML. You don't need to do it anymore, XenPorta will construct the XML for you. Just make your blocks in XenPorta, and then export the block as XML when you are done.

Untitled-4.webp

In addition to being able to define each and every block individually in the portal, you can also define each option individually. You will notice in both the block and option screens, you can define callbacks for installation, uninstallation, format parameters and even validation. With this, you can have it so that blocks install their own tables, to use for their own reasons and stuff.

XENPORTA OPTIONS

After installing this new version, you will see a new option in XenPorta...

Untitled-1.webp

Globalized Custom Layouts defines the abilities of your portal. Generally you only want to check the options you need, as enabling each settings will add some queries to those sections. Those queries are VERY SMALL... but I'm a performance whore; so I give you the ability to turn them off if you're not needing them.

This new system works through the content id system with multiple fallbacks. For instance, if you enable the "Thread" layout system... when you visit a thread, it will look for a custom layout called "thread-(thread_id)". This lets you create a custom layout for that SPECIFIC thread_id. If it can't find the layout, it will trigger the first fallback and instead look for a layout called "thread-forum-(forum_id)". This will let you create a custom layout for all threads within a SPECIFIC forum_id (node). And finally, if it can't find that, it will hit a final fallback called "thread", which would be a custom layout for ALL threads.

Naturally, none of this is required. If it finds none of them, then it won't have a custom layout. You could use "thread-(thread_id)" and choose not to use "thread-forum-(forum_id)" or even "thread". This system works for threads, forums, the forum index, and articles (any thread within forums set in the RecentNews block, or promoted to the block). Enabling the "Article" layout will also enable the custom article view.

Untitled-2.webp
Creating custom layouts is actually very easy. You simply type the name of the layout into the box on the "List Layouts" page and submit. Then it will bring you to a page where you can construct a new layout. When you save it, it will be entered into the system. Naturally, you can name the layout whatever the hell you want... but realistically, only layouts the fit the naming structure defined in the "Globalize Custom Layouts" section will have any use for now. (for now!)

Customizing layouts is pretty much the same as before... except its in the AdminCP instead. You can also download your layout grids to an XML file, should you want to backup your settings.

BLOCK CHANGES

A new block called "EventsStream" has been added. This block lets you embed live streams on your portal.
A new block called "Amazon" has been added. This block lets you display amazon affiliate products.

Untitled-5.webp

Thread promotion in the RecentNew block has also completely changed. Now when you promote a thread, you can specifically select what to display as the "promotion icon" for the article on your portal.

I forgot to mention... this mod needs two template hooks that don't exist yet. You will need to add them manually...

At the absolute bottom of "thread_view"
Code:
<xen:hook name="thread_view_share_after" params="{xen:array 'thread={$thread}'}" />

At the absolute bottom of "forum_view"
Code:
<xen:hook name="forum_view_pagenav_after" params="{xen:array 'forum={$forum}'}" />
 
So here it is :D first msg and first error

Code:

Igor... open up Install.php in the XenPorta library folder... go to line 45... replace "mediumtblock" with "mediumblob". I don't know how that happened... must have been a rogue mouse click with a ctrl+c/v situation.
Next one :)
Code:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method EWRporta_Model_Blocks::importBlock() in /home/bgdonlin/public_html/library/EWRporta/Install.php on line 83

Fixed with replacement on line 83... "importBlock" with "installBlockXmlFromFile"
 
Yeah install and settings are ok now, next problem is blank portal page i set permissions and everything like block place and similar stuff but portal is still empty :(

Fixed: problem was in old EWRporta style templates so i used PhpMyAdmin to remove it...
 
I get this error when trying to ad the news module to the portal page.

Try changing your install.php file as per post 4 and re-installing the xml. Worked for me :)
 
Has anyone worked out how to use the layout system?

Im trying to get it so I can have the "Recent News" taking up two blocks, rather then the one - but not having much joy! Dosent quite work when its only taking up the one block.

news.webp

If its not currently possible - IS it possible to users can choose which empty blocks they want to use before filling them?

EG

You have the three columns still

1........2........3

But users could choose:

Large Large Small (The large block covers both 1+2)
Small Small Small
Small Large Large (The large box covers both 2+3)

Hope that makes sense!

Fixed with Post #4
 
Sorry, it was an error in the v1.4.4 install file... I forgot to tell the uninstall code to drop all the EWRporta tables when uninstalled.

Any blocks in the "RIGHT" (column 2) sections automatically become full blocks if the LEFT (column 1) section is blank.
 
Jaxel,

I deleted all the files from /library an /js and also uninstalled the the previous version via the ACP.

I made a backup of the files first so I can tell you what I uninstalled

/js/8wayrun/
All files starting EWRporta

/library
Entire EWRporta folder.

Is there anything in particular ive missed as they were what you said to delete in your first post.
 
Naw, it was my fault... an old uninstall bug from v1.4.4. When you uninstalled that version, it didn't "fully" uninstall.
 
Any blocks in the "RIGHT" (column 2) sections automatically become full blocks if the LEFT (column 1) section is blank.

Works a treat, thank you. I didnt see this mentioned anywhere thats why I posted whether it was possible.
