XF2 [8WR] XenPorta 2 (Portal) PRO [Paid] 2.3.0.4
- Thread starter Jaxel
- Start date
After disabling all add-ins and re-enabling XenPorta, I'm not seeing the simple comments reverting to standard comments, however I still can consistently repro the bug where the article post is duplicated as a standard post after posting the first comment post:
Steps to repro
- Create new thread
- Promote thread to article
- Create comment post
- Comment post is displayed below article post
- Article post is displayed twice - once as article, once as standard post, with comment post below it
Please try and repro as I believe this is a bug

As far as the simple comments not displaying, i narrowed it down to a conflict with @AndyB's Similar Threads add-on, which is his most popular add-on and very relevant for replacing a CMS system with Xenporta since it recommends similar threads (articles) much like a CMS system would do.
@Jaxel, do you happen to have access to @AndyB's XF2 Add-ons that you can install Similar threads and add the sidebar widget for it (which is what causes the issue) or vice versa? These add-ons really go hand in hand to replace the need for a CMS system, so would be great if they could co-exist.

Looks like I'll be debugging this on on my own
. I'll let you know if I figure it out.@Jaxel where you able to try reproing this bug? It reproed with all add-on disabled and default theme...

Nope. That was a bug in the XF1 version, so it was a top priority in this XF2 version. So if it's happening on your forum, its due to another addon conflict.
Well, I've disabled all other add-ons, so...
Any hints on what issue was causing this in XF1 and/or what the fix generally was for XF2? Might give me an idea where to look. My guess is it's not due to any add-on, but rather standard XF2 customizations. E.g. some things that come to mind that are unique to my configuration are custom fields which are displayed on the member block on each post (although I'm using simplified comments so those aren't even displayed) and other minor CSS customizations (e.g. width of the member block).
Thanks!
I'm using the Default Style (with minor LESS template modifications).
My next step is to start reverting those changes until I figure out if one is conflicting... Any pointers on what was causing the issue before would help me narrow down where to look. Thanks!
The other potentially unique thing is I'm running XF 2.0.9 Did you try to repro with XF 2.0.9? Seems possible to be the cause especially if this was previously a bug in your add-on with XF2.
Feature request: turn off article view and/or simplified comments based on user group.
Use case: Forum members are used to seeing the standard Xenforo thread/post layout, so would disable article view and/or simplified comments for members, while keeping the streamlined article view/simplified comments for guests/SEO, since it's a bit jarring and confusing for forum members to have two different thread layouts. This way you have the best of both worlds - article view/simplified comments for guests; default thread layout for members.

Okay..well I am kinda proud of myself before my two paragraph plead for help, I realize what had me confused from the tutorial video - so I think that's a good sign that I am catching on! 
I do have a question.. what is the best 'practice' for utilizing XenPorta as a direct hit homepage... as in http://yoursite.com and have it without the need for a /ewr-portal or any other type of / path following?
I notice it seems the add-on has created a public navigation item called home... but I am having trouble getting what I've seen others do with this add-on for an engaging homepage...
I am going to play around more and see what I can accomplish but any words of wisdom are appreciated...I tend to be a little slow with these things, but I am getting there.
Thanks everyone!
