[ABD] phpBB3 Portal

[chadtm80]

rename the file:
subsilver2/template/bb3portal/block/announcements.html

subsilver2/template/bb3portal/block/announcments.html

Not ideal solutions but that's how I resolved that problem!

There is no announcements.html in the block folder though.. There is however a announcements.php

[chadtm80]

Actually in the block dir I have both of these

announcements.php

and

announcments.php

but no html one

The files you're looking for are in the download.
root -> styles -> template_name -> template -> bb3portal

Now just to figure out how to edit it all

Well dern.. I installed on our test board and nothing happend.. I have been using phpbb for years so I am no fool.. But am obviously missing something here..

http://67.18.196.150/phpBB3/index.php

Now when you just go here.. http://67.18.196.150/phpBB3/ you get a portal error though?? What did I miss?

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

Same as Chaos I just renamed the announcements file ....lazy but it works

[chadtm80]

ok.. I do have it working.. However.. Load time is about 10 seconds.. Is it this way for everyone else?
Anything I can do to improve the load time?

Ive been hacking away at the prosilver style of this.. havent looked at the subsilver2.

I am having no load issues.. but i did have the odd main menu problem - where it doesnt show.

I figure out how to fix it..

replace all the <li> with <span style="float:left;">stuff here</span>

then remove the <ul class="menu"> lines and the </ul>

workes now in IE6...
plus, i have also added the search function right into the main menu.. like the spoiler tags.. click search and the search boxes appear.. so the search block can be removed. Anyone interested stop by my site, i will give it to you.

Now, as far as the announcements... in prosilver, for some reason, the announcements and news are embedded in the welcome.html file instead of being seperate (they are also seperate files but its messing things up) so, go in, clip out each section.. and paste it over the code in its respective file.
Meaning.. go into Welcome.html select all the codefor the announcements (include the <br clear="all"> at the end) then replace the code in announcements.html. now you can move the block where you want it
do the same for the news block section.

Where are you trying to edit it at? What file etc.. Have to make sure you are making edits in the proper place..

Also you may have to clear your cache for the theme you are using.. ACP: Styles: Templates: Cache: then mark all boxes and click "clear cache"

I am having trouble with getting the news thing working I have set a few forums for it but it still does not work getting a bit frustrated now ...

this is what i got setup in the config file, but nothing shows up so far what am I missing or still need to do?
just tried leaving the forum ID blank,it shows the 2nd forum as the news but does not show more then the headline whats the fix?

Code: Select all

// news
$CFG['news']			= true;  // Show news?  true = show    false = no show
$CFG['show_all_news']	= false; // Show all of the articles in this forum, including Stickies, announcements, and Global announcements?
$CFG['number_of_news']	= '5';   // Number of news articles on Portal (0 means infinite)
$CFG['news_length']		= '200'; // Max length (0 means infinite) of news article. The length of one parsed smiley is huge (can easily be 100)... remember that when you set this...
$CFG['news_forum']		= '2,10,18,20';   // News Forum ID (forum we pull the articles from, leave blank to pull from all forums) separate by comma for multi-forums, eg. '1,2,5'

I posted this on phpbb3 portal's website but here it is :

Everything went okay, I see the portal now and all of that funs tuff,but when I go into my ACP and select the Portal tab I get this :

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table 'vivi_phpbb3.K_BLOCKS_CONFIG_TABLE' doesn't exist [1146]

SQL

SELECT * FROM K_BLOCKS_CONFIG_TABLE WHERE 1

BACKTRACE

FILE: includes/db/mysql.php

as well, in functions.php we added this line :

Code: Select all

		'U_PORTAL'				=> append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}bb3portal.$phpEx"),

now my directory goes like this root/phpBB3/

I am supposed to have bb3portal.php in the phpBB3 folder, but I moved it to the root...how do I change that code to say that I did that.

EDIT : I found the fix for my u_portal redirection :

Code: Select all

		'U_PORTAL'				=> append_sid("/bb3portal.$phpEx"),

also, now that I moved the bb3portal.php to the root directory the images dont show up , and a few links go to no where...specifically :

Privacy policy
Term of use
BBCode FAQ

those point to

and when I log in these also dont go anywhere

by anywhere they are pointing to the root directory, when they should be pointing to phpbb3 my website is http://www.pttrade.net if you want to see what I am talking about.

I installed it and it works but the icons for the language did not show up. Is there a way to fix this problem?
