Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
February 9, 20168 yr I'm a bit confused... (doesn't take much) My forum is in /forums and I've placed the home.php script in my root directory, /httpdocs I'm presuming I rename home.php to index.php and the file looks like this... <?php /** * @package Portal * @author <a href='http://www.devfuse.com'>DevFuse</a> * @copyright (c) 2015 DevFuse */ $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] = __FILE__; /** * Path to your IP.Board directory with a trailing / */ $path = './httpdocs/forums/'; $_GET['app'] = 'portal'; $_GET['module'] = 'portal'; $_GET['controller'] = 'portal'; require_once $path . 'init.php'; \IPS\Dispatcher\Front::i()->run(); Or should the path look like: $path = 'http://www.militariacollectors.network/forums/'; Neither seem to wor, tearing my hair out here...
February 9, 20168 yr I seemed to have managed to get it to work, used $path = './httpdocs/forums/'; and it seemed to work. Occasionally it doesn't though, and seems to load the index.html page instead of the index.php. Would there be any reason for that?

Is there a reason to keep the index.html file still though? The index.php will just show the Portal all the time.

Not really, but I noticed it was showing my server default page, which made me wonder why that was happening. All seems fine now, so happy. Thanks again @Mike John

March 1, 20168 yr Hi I have created a new portal block for an advertisement on the left blocks, so created a custom advertisement with key {advertisement="block_side"} I put this in the block and all that's coming up is {advertisement="block_side"} no image or link, any ideas where i'm going wrong please?

Advertisement code like that would need to be included within the Portal template bit itself. What position were you looking to add the ad?

Hi I wanted to put it in the left panel but not in the default advertisements areas. Prior to upgrading to ipb 4 I used to use the hook custom blocks which you could pull this kind of content or add html etc. Edited March 3, 20168 yr by karld

March 9, 20168 yr 2 hours ago, Mike John said: You sure it's just not showing you the topic? Just hid a post and logged out and it seems to be hiding the hidden topics. So the portal is showing me hidden topics because I have the ability to see hidden topics? If that's the case; is there some way to make it not pull them period? Especially since there is no indication it's a hidden topic in the portal.

Open applications/portal/modules/front/portal/portal.php Find: $table = new \IPS\Helpers\Table\Content( 'IPS\forums\Topic', \IPS\Http\Url::internal( 'app=portal&module=portal&controller=portal', 'public', 'portal' ), $where, NULL, NULL, 'read' ); Replace With: $table = new \IPS\Helpers\Table\Content( 'IPS\forums\Topic', \IPS\Http\Url::internal( 'app=portal&module=portal&controller=portal', 'public', 'portal' ), $where, NULL, FALSE, 'read' ); Save. Just let me know if it works and will confirm for next version.

Currently, I am using Mike's portal but have thought about creating my own with Pages because I can do more with it. If there was a portal that could do more and have all the features that ehku suggested with the ability to add up to three columns it would be something I would purchase. But I would want to add these columns anywhere I want. For example, if I could add one column on the top, three columns below that, two below that and so on. It seems I have not received any replies from Mike on this. But everything I said remains the same. Kinda like the Unreal Portal released years ago. That is what I would like to see.

This was one of the first if not the first IP.Board 4 application to be upgraded and I've updated it continuously to ensure stability. But right now my focus is still on bug fixing on all my mods before I look to new major features.

I just did that now I got a blank white page. Not sure why. I have the latest IPB and latest Portal. My Forum is set as offline currently but didnt changed after I changed the settings.... edit: seems resolved I just reinstalled the portal and now it works.... Edited March 31, 20168 yr by mexopix

Any suggestion Please? I can't reproduce this but it seems IPB 4.1.10 did make a change in relation to how the topic post was loaded. I'm going to need board and ftp access to troubleshoot this further but I believe this may be an issue with IPB 4 itself.
