Topic: Portal gone

[bahgheera]

Hi there, I have a forum that was setup with Simple Portal, and everything was working smoothly. I had it set up so that there was a link in the navigation bar leading to the portal page. The portal page was filled with a set of blocks. Now, I have upgraded SMF to the latest version, and it is all gone - I get a page not found error. The page and the blocks are still there, because I can still edit them. I feel like this is somehow related to permissions, but I can't find any permissions that have been changed. If anyone has an inkling, please let me know! Thanks!

EDIT: I found that each block has it's own permissions that must be set when you edit the block. And these were all set so that no one could see any of the blocks. The pages were the same way. Now, I've set each block and the main page to have the "Everyone" permission. This is working now. But I also have an admin portal page, that I would like only me and my mods to access. But, even though I've set the page to Administrators and Mods, and the blocks to Everyone, I still can't see the page.  Like, if I am at the page list, and click on the name of the page, I still get "The page you requested cannot be found." That's where I'm stuck at the moment.

I fixed the issue. But it was a pain - I had to edit and change the permissions of every single block. I keep running into new issues though, for instance at the moment I want to get the top of the uppermost block in my right side bar to line up with the top of the forum content. I don't know if it's a theme related issue or not, but it does the same thing in my custom theme and the default smf theme.

in your first post and paragraph, you mention you have updated SMF..!!

this might be a silly question but did you uninstall all the addons first ??
SimplePortal is an Addon to SMF

once the update for SMF is complete you must then reinstall the SimplePortal Addon..!!

I'm glad you solved the problem.

I clicked the "topic solved" button for you, just to move your issue off the "support radar".  I hope that's OK.
