XF2 [8WR] XenPorta 2 (Portal) PRO [Paid] 2.3.0.4

[NandorHUN]

Yep. Been running it on 2.2 since the betas.

Make sure you are using Xenporta 2.2.0.4, the version for XF2.2.

Also, make sure the account you are using has the Xenporta Pro rights "Submit article promotions" and "Submit feature promotions". If you go to User Group Permissions in ACP and click a role to see its perms, the Xenporta permissions are at the very bottom of the page.

Thanks.
Do I have to promote them as an article every single time?

Also what I basically do is this:

1) Import RSS feed news to a forum (article forum style)
2) Filter it and post it if it's appropiate
3) Promote it as an Article to Xenporta
4) ... still working on it: but I want to show it up in e "News" page.

If I do this the comments will go to the main forum that was posted from?
Is there a better way to do it?

Yes. There is an "auto-promote" option that you can turn on at, I think, the node level (but I am just going on memory here) but that just pops up the promotion screen when a thread is posted. It isn't truly "automatic", just saves you going to the menu and clicking "Promote to article".

My use of XenPorta is a lot more basic. Just promoting interesting threads and content to the front page. Your process sounds good to me but I don't use RSS the way you do so someone with more experience in that would have to comment.

How can I rename the "Home" page that appeared by Xenporta at public navigation?

All you have to do is create a new tab in XF, call it News, and put the hyperlink to your article forum, which is RSS-driven, and done. Preview mode is best. It looks great, and like a page.

In ACP - Setup - Public Navigation find the page called home and edit the title.

I cannot edit the title...

But i created a new one and copied the links.

I think I turned off the default home and have EWRPorta titled "Home".

Some really quick questions to those that have used this.

1. Can Xenporta widgets do grids with a configurable number of items? I'm essentially wanting to add a grid like section to my existing forum home (not a dedicated page).
2. Is the BG image pulled from the thread's cover and/or first attachments, how flexible is this?
3. Can this modify the What's New template or has anyone managed to add widgets there?
4. Any issues with UIX themes ? I know historically we had problems with Jaxel addons and specifically some conflicting template edits and some UIX themes so wondering if things are better now.


Appreciate any feedback.

1. The latest version lets you adjust the grid layout but it is still a standalone page. Not sure if you could embed it in another page or not.

2. With the new Xenforo articles threads, Xenforo picks up the cover image from the thread which is the first attachment. For Features (a scrolling slideshow at the top), you can upload a picture. Hit my home page (in my sig) to see a fairly basic Xenporta front page. I haven't really done much tinkering with it so far.

3. Not sure. Haven't done it.

4. I use a Pixel Exit style (custom based on Flat Awesome+) with no problems. Have never used UIX.

You can edit the title in phrases. In your ACP, do a search for the following phrase: nav.EWRporta and modify the phrase text to whatever you like.

Jaxel updated XF2 [8WR] XenPorta 2 (Portal) PRO with a new update entry:

2.2.0.5 - CHANGELOG

• The feature slider has been redesigned a bit and will now gracefully extend beyond the image widths on fluid layouts.
• The XenMedio specific style properties have been moved to XenMedio. If you lose access to the style property for it, install the most recent version of XenMedio, or rebuild XenMedio if you have it already installed.

Read the rest of this update entry...

How do we get support for this plugin?

I have a error, we spend 2K on a video which I try to embed but get this error:



I found his support e-mail and send a link to this post.

Thank you for the detailed response.

Looks like I can't really plonk a grid in a standard widget position on the forum home which kind of kills this for me.

Is this guy still around, someone know? any live sign from him?

 

[Ozzy47]

Yes.

 

[Jaxel]

What did you input as your video ID?

 

[fionix]

yeah I just noted it, I put the entire url in the VIDEO ID while you made it in bold, it should only be VIDEO ID not the entire url.
now it works

After installing the add-on, the Add-on's CPanel isn't showing up on the left hand side in the Add-ons section.

 

[DoITguy]

After the install, I don't see any of this. I'm only able to access the options menu. What am I missing? I'm on the latest version.

Hey, Jaxel. Would you please help me test the compatibility between this addon and my CSCN Anniversary style?

[ShikiSuen] CSCN Anniversary theme (Free Standalone Version)

Downloaded and tried it on my dev. I like the look, though I don't think I would use it for my current board. Too radical a change from current, though I might tinker a bit. Definitely might use it as a parent if I was restyling or starting a new board. There might be a glitch with Xenporta but...

Mendalla showed me his concerns about that:
