Topic: multiple boards to show?

[ronnie42]

Hi,

Am using simpleportal on my smf forum and am pleased with it, but have the following question:

For showing news on my frontpage i am using board id: 35

But i wanna show more news can i make somthing like this:

Board ID: 35;50;25;2;18

To let the portal show news from the topics as above?

Thanks for any help.

See the topic below:

You will have to made an edit to your 'SPortal2.php' file.

Yeah??

Wel i am trying to find out where to find but no succes so far.

Is it the php in directory:source?

I have searched for the code but no succes, i use the latest version of the portal.

can you tell me wich php and where to find?

The file is located at '{forum directory}/Sources/SPortal2.php'.

I had a look over that topic, that edit doesn't seem to work with SP 2.2.2.

Try this edit:
Find this code (SPortal2.php file).

Code: [Select]

' . (empty($board) ? '{query_see_board}
AND t.id_first_msg >= {int:min_msg_id}' : 'b.id_board = {int:current_board}')
Replace with this code:

Code: [Select]

{query_see_board}
AND b.id_board IN (1, 2, 3, 4)'
You can replace the '1, 2, 3, 4' with the list of boards that you want to be shown.

Thank you 

This seems to work, i have added 7 boards where to post topics from and that is exactly wat is does right now.

Thanks.

hi

i tested the Nathaniel soluton`s, and worked 100%

thanks a lot 

[silverfox]

any news for the 2.3 version?

cuz i don't have the SPortal2.php on directory

[[SiNaN]]

It's released.

[silverfox]

i mean, how i can select the boards to show on portal, using the 2.3 version

[Nathaniel]

2.3 has an inbuilt list for that block, you can select multiple boards from that list at the same time.

[silverfox]

nice feature, haven't checked it before

thanks

Ok, but this works only for SPortal2.php

what about SPortal1-1.php? The tags are different.

I found some piece of code similar to the RC 2.0 version which looks like:

Code: [Select]

WHERE " . (empty($board) ? $user_info['query_see_board'] . "
AND t.ID_FIRST_MSG >= " . ($modSettings['maxMsgID'] - 45 * min($limit, 5)) : "b.ID_BOARD = $board") . "
Do you guys know what replacement would work for this case?

in my case it'd be more useful to EXCLUDE a couple of boards than making lots of them public, but i'll be fine with any effort of yours that comes to the same result.

Thank you a lot in advance.
