I wanna sling some suggestions your way.
1.| Can the admin section be condensed? There should be one category with options, blocks, and layouts. All block options(list/install) in the blocks section, and all layouts options(list/install) in layouts.
2.| Using the term article is confusing, because it is not an article. Should be called topic, post, discussion, or content. Or even better, it shouldn't be "Portal" & "Article". It should be "Home" & "Forum".
3.| How about an option to "clone" a layout? This would save time when you want a near identical layout for another area of the site? Huge time saver.
4.| Confirmation that settings have been saved is needed? A minor thing, but a peace of mind for those with slow connections.
5.| Option for members to collapse/expand blocks. Admin option per block to allow/disallow blocks to be collapsed by members.
6.| Option to "clone" a block. This would save time when want to make a near identical block. An example would be perhaps I have 2 facebook pages, so that would be 2 separate id's. So I could clone it, and change the id & perhaps the title and place it into a layout. Another example would be recent news, perhaps I want to oraganize the news into 2 separate blocks. This would be faster than exporting, changing, importing.
Just suggestions, please don't flame me for them. XenPorta is a solid portal.
I also have a question. How do we create custom blocks? I know the structure has changed and I thought I read that documentation on how to do so will not be written.
Has anyone tried this with 1.1 beta yet?
Just wondering if there are any major problems/issues.
Found this display bug. You could probably fix that just by instead of using float-left, use absolute positioning and give it a z-index.
Does this mean we'll see a final release soon?So far I'm not having any issues with this beta in XF 1.1...
Replace EWRporta_Block_RecentNews.css with the following and tell me if that fixes it:I've run into this issue with v 1.5.0 in Internet Explorer. If I show social media options in the Recent News block, it displays extra space at the bottom of the first post. Turning off the social media options fixes the problem. It only does this on the first post and only with IE. Firefox and Chrome display fine.
