Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
ToeJam Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Alright, have the flu but going to try and do this correctly. Here is my block list in the ACP 1A - Here is the front page view of all Latest topics and supposed to be in order as to latest reply. (whats missing here as you'll see below is the topic "Keiffer") 1B - Block Settings for above Even though topics from all forums is selected, some topics that were replied back to are not showing up. 1B- Here is my second block on the front page for one forum List, 2B- Here is what's actually in that forum that should show up. What's missing should be "Kieffer | Starlilite then "Pride". But up above ^ it shows Pride and omits Kieffer 2C - Here us the settings for this block. Just one selected. The third here kind of a repeat but it's still another block I have from the front page (Wilkie 520 in wrong order see below) What would really benefit me and to help get free members to upgrade to a subscription is if this permissions was observed in your mod below. "Users can see topics posted by others" but cannot access content. Before your mod I used a portal page by a modder, and this was observed Hope I'm making sense. Maybe I'm doing someething wrong Anyhow, thanks again!

So how Do I show Latest replied to topics? I still have the Portal from DevFuse installed and I just enabled it real quick to show what I'm trying to do. This displays the latest replied to topics thanks!

ToeJam Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Yes, that's the block I used to create these, and the one I'm having problems with

ToeJam Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I must be going crazy from this flu. I'm attaching a step by step of my process and I'm getting the same result "Keiffer" should be first since it's the last reply

ToeJam Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Ahhhhh, LoL that post up above ^ with the check mark you displayed threw my off and I was copying that. Yours are different than mine. Got it. But, now that I use the one I'm supposed to, it's showing multiple posts. Can I just show the topic that was last replied to, not the individual comments in that topic? Edited February 10, 2020 by ToeJam

Quote How To Install Download the .tar file Head to your ACP and go to applications then click install Upload the downloaded .tar file Once Installed go to the community tab and select the Landing Page Blocks tab then start adding your blocks Go to the main applications page and click to set this application as the default app for your site Now go to your sites main URL and you will now have this application as the landing page to your site

ACP > Applications > Select the application (landing) > then click the arrow > this will show another 'landing page' > click the padlock and choose your permissions. You can then access the page using this link (with our own url) - https://MYSITE.com/index.php?app=landingpage&module=main&controller=landingpage Obviously then set the app to default and change the permissions to set as home page.

Dean_ Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Is there a way we can grab articles (pages) into the same layout as topics (with grabbing pictures from the first posts) with a selection box to pick what categories we'd like to show. Also, with calendar events too? Edited February 11, 2020 by Dean_

Just curious. If you ever see me I'll allow you to slap me, ( I completly forgot to add it, I will add it today for the next update ) Speaking of, I have re-wrote most of the blocks so it will look a bit better ( much on mobiles ) I have also added 2 more blocks Main Block Carousel ( Multiple Selections ) With this you can create lots and lots of main blocks have them disabled then show them in one carousel block ( This will inherit the who can view each one permissions ) There is also a setting to show a background colour to the text as seen on the welcome to your site image below Secondary Blocks Carousel ( Multiple Selections ) With this you can create lots and lots of secondary blocks have them disabled then show them in one carousel block ( This will inherit the who can view each one permissions )
ToeJam Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 @TheJackal84 That looks pretty Cool!! Will we be able to display last Topic Replied to in order as well?

TheJackal84 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) forgot to say I added some animations to the blocks too with options No Animation Or Slide In - Bottom To Top Slide In - Right To Left Slide In - Left To Right Edited February 19, 2020 by TheJackal84
Dean_ Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Found a bug - Using - Content Blocks ( Multiple Selections ) - if you have no text and just use pictures (I used 3 blocks and 3 pictures) it duplicates all 3 images into all of the blocks. This mean each box shows the same 3 picstures, so in all it shows 9.
Dean_ Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Could I request image blocks with URL links only. Just like the Content Blocks ( Multiple Selections ) but no text, and have an option to show maybe 5-10 in a whole block? I don't want an image carousel, but 3/4 seperate boxes that I can upload an image to. But have it so I can set custom URLs so when people click the image it will take them to a desired link. On my home page I'd like to show it like this - I don't want to use the editor as it wont be responsive. And I really like how the forums/topics blocks is layed out currently. As I set it to 4 boxes on desktop view. Edited February 19, 2020 by Dean_

You should use carousel for topics and other content ones its really nice on desktop and mobiles and you can add as many as you want in one line Edited February 20, 2020 by TheJackal84 Dean_ 1
Dean_ Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 And the above bug report. It effects other blocks too? I went to add something else but the images I had uploaded in the previous block were showing in the editor. Not sure if that was saved editor content ... 2 hours ago, TheJackal84 said: You can request anything I love new ideas ( especially good ones ) With this request could we have it so there are no title boxes that are required for the whole block or individual image blocks. I don’t mind having them but I won’t use them.
