Mandrill made it clear a while ago they don't want small customers... even paying ones.

I've just uploaded a version that fixes a few minor bugs and confirms IP.Board 4.1.x compatibility. Only upgrade if using this version or later.

Thanks for that, it has got mine working again
 

Same problem here. I was able to work around it for now by editing this file:
/applications/portal/extensions/core/FrontNavigation/Portal.php
changed line reading:
class _Portal
to
class _Portal extends \IPS\core\FrontNavigation\FrontNavigationAbstract
I assume it has to do with some menu issue in 4.1 like is shown in one of the patches to 4.1.7 that refers to this type of error.
I'm not sure if this workaround causes any other problems, but this at least got me going on 4.1.7 and easier than restoring back to 4.1.6.1. If you haven't upgraded yet, I would hold off until it's fixed though.
 

A suggestion to @Mike John: The current layout leaves a wide space below the avatar. Although this does not seem to be a problem on larger screens, it should be optimized for phone screen. I suggest Mike to resize the avatar and put it into the title bar. 

 
 
 

Hi @Mike John: It seems that the Portal plugin is not compatible with IPS 4.1.7. Could you please check?

Any update on this? I'd like to update, but I'm using portal as my landing page ATM...

Not tested but confirmed. I'm going through a set of IPB 4.1.7 upgrades this week that addresses changes that break any of my apps.

Not working with 4.1.7 here either, I have had to disable it for the site to run

location /api/ { rewrite ^/api/(.*)$ /api/index.php; } Seems to be working (adjust for your directory structure as needed).
I used the sample script here:
 
Which outputs as expected (replaced name and url):
php testapi.php { "communityName": "name", "communityUrl": "url", "ipsVersion": "4.1.6" }  

Hmm i think it's weird how they are not providing any support or guides regarding nginx.. apache is way too slow, nginx should be one of the default configs supported

location /api/ { rewrite ^/api/(.*)$ /api/index.php; } Seems to be working (adjust for your directory structure as needed).

php testapi.php { "communityName": "name", "communityUrl": "url", "ipsVersion": "4.1.6" }  

What can users do with their points?

Would be nice to get an update on this. This was a very useful feature.

This was a great feature in 3.x. I remember it was going to be added to 4.0 and it was in the Release Notes but I haven't heard anything about it in months. Is it still coming back?

It was requested during the 4.0.0 preview/Beta. They said it would come back, someday. 4.2 who knows.

With IPB 4.1.4 the sort order of portal topics does not seem to work if selecting to sort by topic start time. Rather, it sorts by default of last updated topic no matter what the setting. It worked correctly with IPB 4.1.3.2 .
I had to change the sortBy line in portal.php from start_date to forums_topics.start_date and it then works as expected.
Edit: Seems to be IPB bug with fix attached at following URL. After reversing my edit and applying the patch it works as expected again.
