Topic: [SOLVED] Re: new simple portal install with SMF 2.0 RC1

[EntityReborn]

Ya, I installed it and everything, but my front page is blank. No forums are shown, just the header and footer. http://entityreborn.co.cc if ya wanna look. Fresh/unchanged SMF install too.

Topic spilt from the other one as they are unrelated. Please post your own new support requests. It makes it easier for the team to give support.

It looks like you haven't added any blocks yet, you can add them in the admin area under 'SimplePortal' and then 'Blocks'. You can access your normal forum page by clicking the 'Forum' menu link/button.

It is also possible to disable the front portal page, and just have blocks shown throughout the forum.

[EntityReborn]

That was it! Now I just have two things, "Forum" is shown on every page, and the admin center tabs are a little messed up, but the second one is fine.

[Nathaniel]

Not sure about the second one. Would need an image to try and fix that.

For the first one, that is intended behaviour, because that link now goes to your 'forum' page instead of your home/portal page.

You can change it by changing the code below from your 'sources/SPortal2.php' file.

Code: [Select]

// Fix main linktree here.
if (!empty($modSettings['portalactive']))
$context['linktree'][0] = array(
'url' => $scripturl . '?action=forum',
'name' => $txt['sp-forum'],
);
You can remove the ' . '?action=forum' ' part to make it link to your portal, and change the '$txt['sp-forum']' part to '$context['forum_name']' to change the text to your forums name.

Here is a mod that will add it for you.

[EntityReborn]

Thanks!

[Nathaniel]

Wow, that mod actually isn't what I meant to post here. Must have got kinda mixed up last night, that mod adds a shoutbox block to your forum.  - LOL

So disregard the mod in that second post, if you need help changing that link then please post your 'sources/SPortal2.php' file and I can change it for you, as long as you specify exactly what you want changed.

  No worries I can probably edit it myself, I just thought that was a bug, as Forum is already a header clicky. Does seem kinda repetitious tho.
