Ohh look at that. nice... is portal.php based of off index.php?

[Noxwizard]

No, it is not. It just calls a few functions I wrote and creates some template variables.

Great portal, Smartor's portal has the ability to show blocks on the forum index page as well, Do you plan on having this option available for your as well?

[iyeru42]

I think you need more padding within those blocks, the login looks too close.

I don't recall the portal itself having that feature. That may have been another one of his MODs.

I'll mess with it some.

Hello,

Just installed the mod on a fresh phpbb3 instalation and got the following error:

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

[0]

SQL

No values specified for SQL IN comparison

BACKTRACE

FILE: includes/db/dbal.php
LINE: 385
CALL: dbal->sql_error()

FILE: includes/functions_portal.php
LINE: 46
CALL: dbal->sql_in_set()

FILE: portal.php
LINE: 128
CALL: fetch_posts()

Any ideea what is wrong ?

[Noxwizard]

In portal.php, you didn't specify a forum to pull news from.

Code: Select all

$CFG['news_forum'] = array(2,3,4);

Worked like a charm, my bad i thought forum id 1 was created from start.

And thank you very much for the mod, it was the only reason i didn't update from phpbb2 to phpbb3 (forum users just loved the ezPortal)

Okay, I'm new to the concept of portals and CMSes, so a coupla questions ...

Does easyPortal work with the prosilver_se style?

I just need to integrate a forum, announcement/news, and chat room ... would easyPortal support this?

Thanks!

[Noxwizard]

If the style is prosilver or subsilver2 based, you can use those template files without a problem. Just copy portal_body.html to your template folder.

Finally an easy to use and simple portal. Thanks for that!

Im new to using any kind of MODS and whatnot so I may need a little bit of extra help. Heres my error

Code: Select all

General Error

I know part of my problem matches up with a already resolved problem but im not exactly certain how to resolve it or the other two. Please help me out.

In portal.php, you didn't specify a forum to pull news from.

Code: Select all

$CFG['news_forum'] = array(2,3,4);

Alternatively, it could mean the forum id you chose doesn't exist, like the ID of 1.
