Description and Message
Hi there. Thanks for the great mod. I have a little question. Can I use the Recent block and
Latest global announcements blocks on the index page? Is it possible?
Thanks for your time

Better to ask here.

What? I tried using

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE portal/block/recent.html -->

in index_body.html but it didn't work. Look at my site now. I removed the right bar and it looks nice Still couldn't figure out how to add the shoutbox

Hi,

you also have to include the scripts to fill the *html-template with some live.

Code: Select all

	if ($portal_config['portal_recent']) 
	{ 
		include($phpbb_root_path . 'portal/block/recent.'.$phpEx);
	}

This is only for recent, for every other block only use the script-include from portal.php.

If you want it on index you can include it in index.php at board-root. I think the best place should be after the include for the portalview-includes.
Just try it, and post the result, I didn't test it.

Code: Select all

// Add for Portalview of complete Board
include($phpbb_root_path . 'portal/includes/portalview.' . $phpEx);

It also shpould work to add it in portalview-includes, but it will include on every page, so it's not a goog idea to do so.

Regards

Dyo

I did in in my demoboard as an example for you, but its only done for prosilver.


Open: index.php

find:

Code: Select all

// Add for Portalview of complete Board
include($phpbb_root_path . 'portal/includes/portalview.' . $phpEx);

after add:

Code: Select all

// this is added to use of recentblock in index
 if ($portal_config['portal_recent']) 
   { 
      include($phpbb_root_path . 'portal/block/recent.'.$phpEx);
   }

open style/prosilver/template/index_body.html

find:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE forumlist_body.html -->

before add:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE portal/block/recent.html -->

activate the recentblock in acp

I screwed up adding the mod mod_portalview and now I'm tring to fix it, I'll post a secreenshot later. I wont give up cuz this is the best

[dragz]

Because I don't need the bar on the right hand side I didnt do the overall footer edits. As far as I know I have done everything correctly but the site looks like this

[Dyo]

well, to do this, you also have to edit the footer cause of the endinmg tags of the tables.

So do the normal edits on the overall_footer.html and than remove everything between:

Code: Select all

<!-- [+] right block area -->

and

Code: Select all

<!-- [-] right block area -->

Sorry for being late to reply, Im supposed to study cuz my exam is on Sunday, I did as you said but there is still things wrong, I'm using the 3.0.4 and I couldn't find what is causing these problems,

1st thing, some fonts are too large


2nd, No footer in the portal, simply, the end of the page looks like this,


3rd Blocks are not aligned properly on the login page

[Dyo]

Could you please add a user for me to your forum and send me the username and password?
I'de like to have a look at the html-sourcecode.
