I'm looking for a way to put a portalblock at the begin page of my website! Thats not home if you aren't logged in thats the login panel because it's a closed website (Login required)

Is there any way to put a portal block on that page?


Greetings,
Maarten

Under 'display options' for that block, check the 'Advanced Options' checkbox, then under 'Select Actions' check the 'Login' checkbox.

Under 'display options' for that block, check the 'Advanced Options' checkbox, then under 'Select Actions' check the 'Login' checkbox.

Yeah I did that but it doesn't show up.

EDIT: It seems the portal block only show up when I'm logged in? Or if the website is a open website (So no login required). So this could be a big/issue?

Find and remove the code below from your 'Sources/Subs-Portal.php' file.

Code Select Expand

|| (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $context['user']['is_guest'])

That will allow guests to view blocks, even when guests don't have access to the forums. You may need to change permissions on a few of your blocks though (so that guests can't view them).

[Maarten]

Yeah it worked! But now every portal block shows up like it's the portal home? I just want one portal block on the page.. And that's a ad

So is there a way to put ONE or just the chosen portal blocks on the page?
Because the portal blocks who should show up in the portal it self shows up in the login page (Just index.php it asks you to login)? Kinda weird isn't it....

That will allow guests to view blocks, even when guests don't have access to the forums. You may need to change permissions on a few of your blocks though (so that guests can't view them).

[Maarten]

Thanks you very much! (Solved)

It's not solved, I put the block permission to 'Guests' didn't select the others (So guests only), but the portal block still shows up at the portal page when I'm logged in?!

[Nathaniel]

That would be because you are admin. If you follow the instructions in the post below then you shouldn't have that problem:

Under 'display options' for that block, check the 'Advanced Options' checkbox, then under 'Select Actions' check the 'Login' checkbox.

[Maarten]

Well I already did that.. But when I uncheck the 'portel', the portal block isn't showing up at the login pages that says that a login a requert (To see the portal page in this case)

[Nathaniel]

Hmm, the SP code which detects the login page, looks for the 'login' action which isn't what you want in this case. Make the edits below to your Sources/Subs-Portal.php file.

Code ("Find") Select Expand

if (WIRELESS || ($standalone && (isset($_REQUEST['wap']) || isset($_REQUEST['wap2']) || isset($_REQUEST['imode']))) || !empty($settings['disable_sp']) || empty($modSettings['sp_portal_mode']) || (!empty($maintenance) && !allowedTo('admin_forum')) || isset($_GET['debug']))
{
$context['disable_sp'] = true;
if ($standalone)
{
$get_string = '';
foreach ($_GET as $get_var => $get_value)
$get_string .= $get_var . (!empty($get_value) ? '=' . $get_value : '') . ';';
redirectExit(substr($get_string, 0, -1));
}
return;
}

Code ("Replace") Select Expand

if (WIRELESS || ($standalone && (isset($_REQUEST['wap']) || isset($_REQUEST['wap2']) || isset($_REQUEST['imode']))) || !empty($settings['disable_sp']) || empty($modSettings['sp_portal_mode']) || (!empty($maintenance) && !allowedTo('admin_forum')) || isset($_GET['debug']))
{
$context['disable_sp'] = true;
if ($standalone)
{
$get_string = '';
foreach ($_GET as $get_var => $get_value)
$get_string .= $get_var . (!empty($get_value) ? '=' . $get_value : '') . ';';
redirectExit(substr($get_string, 0, -1));
}
return;
}
elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $context['user']['is_guest'])
{
$context['disable_sp'] = true;
}

Code ("Find") Select Expand

$portal = (empty($action) && empty($board) && SMF != 'SSI' && $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 1) || !empty($context['standalone']) ? true : false;

Code ("Replace") Select Expand

$portal = (empty($action) && empty($board) && SMF != 'SSI' && $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 1) || !empty($context['standalone']) ? true : false;

global $user_info;
if (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'help', 'smstats', 'mailq', 'verificationcode', 'openidreturn',))))
$action = 'login';

With those edits, the 'login' action should work as you want it to, so you can remove the 'portal' display option from that block.

Thanks, solved!
