Looks like SV\StandardLib is not extending the Thread entity properly and is wiping out other addons which extend that entity.

Here is what I am getting. This happens with the Masonry default shown below (or any px value in that box as far as I can tell). If I blank that box to use variable box heights, it is fine.

Gets this. Note the middle column. If I switch to another style, like default or my board's custom (based on Flat Awesome+ from Pixelexit), the tops line up.

Hope this helps you sort it out @ShikiSuen. I can use a different configuration in Xenporta to get around it, but it came to mind as a "glitch" that might be notable when I was posting about your style.

I confirmed that this issue doesn't happen with XF 2.2.4 + XenPorta 2.2.0.7 + CSCN Anniversary Theme Beta 22.
It looks like Jaxel's upgrade on January 7th, 2021 works well.
(I tested using my friend's forum which is currently under construction.)

However, I found a new issue. I'll explain below in another reply.

@Jaxel I found a new bug with XenPorta 2.2.0.7 and XF 2.2.4 update.
The fix is simple: Find the following:
CSS: 
.porta-article-item .message-inner .message-main {
    max-width: 100%;
}
Add "Width: 100%;" together with existing max-width definition:
CSS: 
.porta-article-item .message-inner .message-main {
    max-width: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}
This is what necessary if you want flex cell width filled up the width of its container.

Before the fix:




After the fix:

@Jaxel One more bug: the color gradience.
The left screenshot is Safari 14, and the right side screenshot is Edge Chromium 89 (FireFox 88.0b7 doesn't have this problem, either).

The problem happens with the template "EWRporta_articles.less":
CSS: 
.porta-expandLink{background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%, @xf-contentBg 80%);}
The gradient definition needs to be fixed as:
CSS: 
    background: linear-gradient(fade(@xf-contentBg, 0%) 0%, @xf-contentBg 80%);

Reason: In Safari, if you want a color gradient with alpha only, the start color and the end color must be the same.

The patch before Jaxel releases official fix:
CSS: 
.porta-article-item .porta-expandLink, .porta-article-item .porta-article-header .porta-header-text .fade{
    background: linear-gradient(fade(@xf-contentBg, 0%) 0%, @xf-contentBg 80%);
}

Also, the outline rendered in the big title per each article block doesn't look good in Safari.
I rewrote it as follows:

Code: 
.porta-article-item .porta-article-header .porta-header-text .title {
	text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #333, 1px -1px 2px #333, -1px 1px 2px #333, -1px -1px 2px #333;
}
 
After installing XenPorta, I am unable to create new articles in XenPorta and I don't have the option to promote an article to the XenPorta articles page. Does anyone know why that could be?

@Brogan Could you please help me remove all the picture attachments in my replies #1823-1825?
The webmaster urged me to remove them today, and I found that I have no way to edit them.
 
Here comes a standalone reply consolidating my fixes since #1823-1825 needs to be nuked (according to the webmaster's request).

1. Let flex cell width filled up the width of its container:

Find the following:
Less: 
.porta-article-item .message-inner .message-main {
    max-width: 100%;
}
Add "Width: 100%;" together with existing max-width definition:
Less: 
.porta-article-item .message-inner .message-main {
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

2. Color gradience problem:

The problem happens with the template "EWRporta_articles.less":
Less: 
.porta-expandLink{background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%, @xf-contentBg 80%);}
The gradient definition needs to be fixed as:
Less: 
    background: linear-gradient(fade(@xf-contentBg, 0%) 0%, @xf-contentBg 80%);
Reason: In Safari, if you want a color gradient with alpha only, the start color and the end color must be the same.
The patch before Jaxel releases official fix:
Less: 
.porta-article-item .porta-expandLink, .porta-article-item .porta-article-header .porta-header-text .fade{
    background: linear-gradient(fade(@xf-contentBg, 0%) 0%, @xf-contentBg 80%);
}

3. Font outline:
Less: 
.porta-article-item .porta-article-header .porta-header-text .title {
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #333, 1px -1px 2px #333, -1px 1px 2px #333, -1px -1px 2px #333;
}

Why do I have two article sections? I have a full screen one and then a masonry grid version. I only have the full one setup in the widgets?

Any ideas why? Here is the site if you need to see it live. stangline.com

Xenportal...great add on, thank you.

Question: Is there an easy way to incorporate advertisements between the portal page articles on the main portal page? Google Auto Ads creates a mess everywhere when it's enabled and I dread using it. It appears there are no preprogrammed advertisement placements (like XFMG has) for XenPortal.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you!
 
Hi @Jaxel Am after a bit of help if I may…

Am in the process of installing XenPorta 2 and XenAtendo 2 onto a new installation. I've done this before with our other website, but I seem to be missing something, and am hoping you're able to help.

I've carried out a 'normal' installation of both Xenporta and XenAtendo, and this is what our homepage looks like.

In setup/route filters/ I have put
ewr-porta/ = artlcles
ewr-atendo/ = calendar


I'm clearly missing something else, as the navigation is broken.

Any ideas?
