Custom Portal Mod
« on: November 30, 2009, 11:51:06 AM »
This mod allows everyone using your portal (members and guests) to organize their blocks as they want with the nifty drag and drop effect, without any page loads. It uses db for users and a long long lasting cookie for guests. I'm sure most of you know about iGoogle, so this is iSimplePortal.

I just wanted to show that although I named this thing SimplePortal, it can actually be bloated easily. And such complex-in-theory features can be implemented with such few edits to few files when it has a solid base.

The mod works with both SMF 1.1 and 2.0 versions of SP 2.3.6.

You can download the mod here:

Good concept. Nice to know this can be done without much effort. Although it'd be especially nice to turn this into an admin interface as well.

The only think I'd request is a profile option to lock the portal config, so that those satisfied with their current layouts can prevent a stray mouseclick from changing them.

EDIT: Apparently the AJAX connections are constant, always open. CCB informed me of this. I've noticed the changes take a few seconds to take effect, not sure if these two are related.

If I had another 20 minutes, I could implement that to block management page as well. ;)

Would you move this to the appropriate board?

I'm open to name suggestions for the mod by the way.

It doesn't like large sites with over 6000-something members online at the same time.

Any change you could make it a bit lighter, so it doesn't retain a constant connection to the database with queries prepared?

I guess we can get rid of the AJAX request and handle it all with pure JavaScript. I'll post an update when I get some time.

Hi SiNaN,

I downloaded and installed this on my test forum.  It worked fine with no issues  (its very cool)
But -  after updating Java on my computer I find its not liking Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.17 at all with IE 7.0   (Ive not tested yet with 8.0 - and its fine with Firefox and Opera)     Using 7.0 if you click on any board, topic, post, you'll immediately get a popup from IE stating "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet Site"   then "Operation Aborted" and you have no choice but to get booted off the page.    It happens to me now on your site and didnt before the Java update.    Even though it may well be some IE7.0 fluke its just something I thought you should know.

I have updated the package to get rid of the AJAX call and use regular JavaScript instead. It should be a lot faster now, as fast as regular SMF collapse feature.

There is a similar SMF bug. It might be related to that, rather than this:

Try uninstalling this package and see if the issue is still there. If yes, than it certainly has something to do with this package.

It seems much faster.

What about blocks without titles? Would it be possible to make (just on those blocks) the entire block click-and-dragable for moving purposes?

Name suggestion: iCustom mod for SimplePortal? Sounds too long, but it's a place to start.

I'll check into that.     I uninstalled it..  the issue immediately went away.
Are you using the new pkg on your site?  It still does it to me there.

You just don't move them. :P

I don't really want to add another tag just for that, but not sure.

Hi, I am getting the same problem as Blokey using IE7, however I have installed the latest version (the link from the original post) and it is still causing the error:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site hxxp://domain.tld/index.php/topic,107.0.html.
Operation aborted

Indeed I note that I first downloaded this file on 5th Dec, so I always had the latest version.

I am certain it is this mod as when I uninstall it the problem goes away, then when I install it again it is back.

I hope that this problem can be fixed as it is really very cool and solved the "can't this / that block go over here / there" squabbling and am gutted I'll have to leave it uninstalled :(

No, rather we're going to recommend that you upgrade. There are several security vulnerabilities in RC1 that have been fixed in RC2 (remember, there were two patch versions, RC1-1 and RC1.2 between them), and there have been several bugs fixed from SP 2.3 to 2.3.1.

If you don't wish to upgrade, that's your choice, but no mod is going to be made backwards compatible for RC1 at this point. Sorry.

Not even for me <3 :P upgrading is not an option. We can't convert database to RC 2.
