Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
May 22, 20195 yr I'm going to ask two very stupid questions because I can't for the life of me figure it out. 1) How do I access the portal manager? I found the settings and where to add blocks but now how to arrange the page. 2) I have your Donations mod, how can I create a block for it on the portal? Is that possible? Never mind- I'm a potato and found it. Thanks! Brian Edited May 23, 20195 yr by bbisbee
December 2, 20195 yr Hi, I have a problem with the portal at IPS 4.4.9. If I add a widget in the portal and leave the edit mode and reload the page, the newly created widget is gone. This happens with all widgets as of version IPS 4.4.8. How can I fix this? With kind regards

December 8, 20195 yr Is it possible to have the main postal only showing recent posts instead of topics ? I'd like to use it as a timeline
December 19, 20195 yr Hi Mike, Truncating the posts to a few lines seems to be removing the first external linked image. It's also not honoring the new lines in the thread itself. Is there a possible patch for that? I'd like to show the top linked image and a few lined (4-5 while honoring the new lines in the thread) and then a button at the end that takes them to the thread itself
December 29, 20195 yr Has probably no interest in giving support here. I've been waiting 24 days... Waiting for a short time is ok, but 3 weeks without an answer is a bit much.

I'd like to use it as a timeline What you could do is add the "Post Feed" widget above the internal latest topics feature. There is a bug that prevents setting the latest topics setting to zero right now but if you have ftp access to your ipb files, I can probably put together a patch for you to use.

Do you have the new "lazy load" setting enabled? On 12/20/2019 at 8:37 AM, User786 said: It's also not honoring the new lines in the thread itself. That's kinda how the truncate works. There is an alternative that "hides" the rest of the content rather then remove it if that would work better for you?

When I disable it, I can then add/remove other widgets just fine. Edit: There must be something in there that is causing the widgets saving to fail, I'm not really familiar with the code you've got in there so you might want to check it over. But a work around would be to just disable it while you add/remove the widgets you want. Edited January 1, 20205 yr by Mike John

September 12, 20204 yr Hi Mike, I have upgraded the forum and when I try to Install the latest portal, it tells me to login to clients area, then Marketplace, then search portal and click install, I am doing this but not getting anywhere...I can see the install button, I click it and I see choice of versions, it is defaulting to 4.5 but that is as far I can can get, cannot actually begin the install, any advice would be appreciated

Because from what I can see, I've uploaded the .tar file correctly and it should be working.
January 29, 20213 yr Hi Mike I'm using Invision Community version v4.5.4.2 and portal 1.7.0 Since a few days ago I haven`t access to edit any of my blocks in use. What is the cause? When I try to do this I get this message 2S119/1 The CSRF protection key did not match. This may indicate a plugin or theme is out of date. Please contact technical support for more information. thanks Edited February 2, 20213 yr by clan-sud
February 19, 20213 yr Hi, Before I install this , can I reproduce something like the portal on macrumors.com? So it pulls stories from certain forums and displays them on the front page and automatically refreshes them?

The forum settings would create a similar layout with new forum topics from selected forums. No automatic refresh, it just grabs the last X topics by start or last post date from selected forums.
May 15, 20213 yr This is probably a dumb question, but I'm looking for where to edit the layout of the portal page. Its been a while since I worked on this, (a couple years, so I'm really rusty and lost, fumbling around) and I upgraded the forums and portal app, and I have an announcement widget on the sidebar, just above the example blocks and it isn't a standard block and I'm trying to figure out where to edit it back out...
June 21, 20213 yr Author If you click the middle left manage blocks icon, you can then delete the widget you added from the Portal page. Let me know if you need further help.
June 25, 20213 yr Just a little feedback, on 4.6 the new posts are now not being shown as bold on the portal. I am sure they used to and 4.6 must have changed something. Don't know if there is a paid version of this that fixes it - if there is - please link me to it so I can buy. Previously unread topics from the Portal page used to be in bold I believe - or so about five members have complained about.
June 25, 20213 yr (NE) Hide Content is shown inside Portal ... Example - hide Spoiler content, in actual thread, content inside Spoiler is hidden, in Portal, it's shown.
