Hi, I have question regarding adding new block to the portal page.
I inserted in the acp_portal.php file this row:

'portal_gallery'				=> array('lang' => 'PORTAL_GALLERY'	, 'validate' => 'bool'	, 'type' => 'radio:yes_no'	, 'explain' => true),

I inserted translation to the launguage files.

I also inserted rows below in the portal_body.html:

Code: Select all

		<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_GALLERY -->
		  <!-- INCLUDE gallery_recent_body.html -->
		<!-- ENDIF -->

But it doesn't wok. Without If tags block is displayed, but with them it is not although in acp I set it On.

Could anyone help me?

Have you defined a DB switch for it and added it to your gallery_recent.php?
Something like:

Code: Select all

// Assign specific vars
'S_DISPLAY_GALLERY'	=> ($portal_config['portal_display_gallery']) ? true : false,

No, I haven't. What am I supposed to do? Only to insert mentioned row to gallery_recent file?
Thanks

Don't know what you've done already.
Seems like you've added a DB field named "portal_gallery" - to the phpbb_portal_config table? If not - do so.
Then you have to add this line in your gallery_recent file:
search (if present):

Code: Select all

 // Assign specific vars

add after:

Code: Select all

'S_DISPLAY_GALLERY'   => ($portal_config['portal_gallery']) ? true : false,

To explain it:
You set a value via the ACP to define whether this block is active or not - in the DB field portal_gallery.
This is what you're doing here:

Code: Select all

    'portal_gallery'            => array('lang' => 'PORTAL_GALLERY'   , 'validate' => 'bool'   , 'type' => 'radio:yes_no'   , 'explain' => true),

Then your gallery_recent.php file have to check this DB field portal_gallery if this block is active / if it should be displayed. In this case the switch S_DISPLAY_GALLERY will be set to "true" - otherwise it'll be set to "false".
Then this switch / value is given to the templates, to answer this IF-statement: 
That's all.

Thanks for the explanation. Problem is that there is no any gallery_recent.php file, there is only html file (gallery_recent_body.html) which is supposed to be included in the portal page. So where should I insert row you recommended?

This information would have been nice in a earlier stage of this thread...

Okay, different situation.

Open portal.php

search:

Code: Select all

$template->assign_vars(array(

add in a new line:

Code: Select all

    'S_DISPLAY_GALLERY'   => ($portal_config['portal_gallery']) ? true : false,

Sorry for confusion.
I followed your description but although block is set to On in ACP, nothing is displayed. I checked database and in phpbb_portal_config there is row called portal_gallery with value [BLOB - 1 Byte], so it should be ok.

The value should be "text".
The query to use should look like this (mysql):

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO `phpbb_portal_config` (`config_name`,`config_value`,`is_dynamic`) VALUES ('portal_gallery','1','0');

Delete the old entry and create it new.

The ACP switch works without any problems?

When I tried to perform recommended sql insert, error below occured.

#1054 - Unknown column 'is_dynamic' in 'field list'

Okay, try this:

Code: Select all

    INSERT INTO `phpbb_portal_config` (`config_name`,`config_value`) VALUES ('portal_gallery','1');

This one works, but although I set it On in the ACP, block doesn't appear. radio button in ACP works fine and remembers value which was set correctly.

And you see in the DB that the value changes correctly?

Yes, it works fine. When block visibility in ACP is set to Yes, value is 1, for No value is 0.

Good, the DB thing seems to work.
Please give me a link to your forum. And link to *.txt files with the content of all your modified files.

Link to portal and to changed files find in PM.
