A Portal is definately a good idea. Four feature requests (sorry, I am too lazy to register on your homepage):
1. Turn on/off blocks
2. Move blocks from one column to the other (left, center or right column).
3. Move block up and down.
4. Expandable/Contractable blocks.

Great to have a portal once again! Good work indeed!

One quick mention that one of the files is named wrong! I got an error saying

template->_tpl_load_file(): File ./styles/subsilver2/template/bb3portal/block/announcments.html does not exist or is empty

after a second or two of brain scratching I noticed that the file I had received in the download was named announcements.html. I renamed it and all is fine! Just an FYI for yas!

[angelside]

It's announcements.html :S

How do you edit or remove the: _sample_block_design.html file? I tried to edit the file in the blocks folder and nothing happened...I even deleted it, refreshed the theme and it's still on the portal. I skipped all the edits for subSilver2 because I just use the prosilver theme.

[Miyagui]

Succesfully installed.
Looking good
Regards.

[Lawofthesnake]

Will this also feature additional portal pages?

Try clearing your cache folder

I'm having trouble with the prosilver theme, It won't show the avatar in the "User Block"
It points to a file that doesn't exist.

--------------------------------------------------------

Another error:
I can't seem to find this code in the styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

		<!-- IF TRANSLATION_INFO --><br />{TRANSLATION_INFO}<!-- ENDIF -->

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

		<!-- IF S_PORTAL_COPY --><br />{S_PORTAL_COPY}<!-- ENDIF -->

I ommited it, and it's showing an error in the header.

Looking forward to a solution.

Will the portals home page themes match the theme of your forums like EZmod did? I am using an acidtech theme for my boards and was wondering if the color scheme would be the same, much like how the color scheme on Ezportal matched that of the boards for phpbb2.

[BillyBobBongo]

Hey there!

I'm having two problems with this mod. The first is from that the announcements don't display on the portal and the second is that I am unable to get polls to display on the portal. I've altered the config.php file to point towards the forum used for polls but I see nothing on the portal.

Is anyone else having these issues and know of a solution?!

Cheers!

[BillyBobBongo]

Okay!

1 problem down...one to go!

I got hold of an older version of this mod from a friend of mine. After replacing the root/bb3portal/block/recent.php file I was able to get the announcements to appear at last! I will post the code of this file just in case anyone else is having this issue as well!

Still unable to see polls however on the portal. If I get it worked out I'll post my findings once again!

Excellent work angelside.
I've been puting off an upgrade to my site as I hadn't delved in to v3 yet.
I bit the bullet and loaded it onto my home server last night after seeing your portal and i'm very impressed.
Easier than I thought - plus you have everything and more that I need. (I wrote my own portal from scratch last time )

My only query is about showing the actual text of the 'latest news' section.
Do I have to add any extra code or did I miss something?
