Well that kind of fixed it after I emptied the forum cache and browser cache. On the fresh install of the forum it looks fine but on my live forum it leaves a blank area for the right sidebar even though I have no right blocks created. I even turned the option to off for right blocks but I still get the blank space for a right sidebar.

What is weird now is that the blank spot for the right sidebar now has an ad there:

Even though I do NOT have any right blocks created at all. And I do not have any ads enabled in any other blocks in Simple Portal.

I do have ads enabled in the SimpleAds add-on but none assigned to right side.

OK what seems to be happening is footer blocks are showing up in the right sidebar and right sidebar blocks are not showing up at all.

(I disabled all ads in SimpleAds to eliminate that as a cause)

OK good info ... its probably a result of the the flexbox layout that I'm currently testing.   Do you still have a width set for the right side box (even though you don't have anything assigned?)  

I still need to test this with simple ads, there are A LOT of things between the forum / ads / portal all trying to fit / create some grid layout and its difficult to get them to play well together and still have a chance in it being marginally  responsive.

I tried it both ways for the right sidebar with a width of 200px, 0px, and leaving it blank all with the same result. It seems that Simple Ads has the same problem. If I assign an ad to 'Above Footer' in SimpleAds it shows up in the right position and assigning something to 'Right' in SimpleAds and it disappears completely. And assigning an ad to 'Left' in SimpleAds shows to the left of my recent topics left block from Simple Portal instead of under it. Also my Google ads appear blank sometimes with apparently no rhyme or reason in both SimplePortal and SimpleAds. It never did that before upgrading the forum to 1.1.3.

Yup ... footer blocks are flexing up to the right side when the right side if disabled ... Grrrr .... its the flexbox stuff I'm trying out.

Just finished fixing the drag/drop block arrangement in the control panel, so now I'm back on the layout issue.

ETA Looks like that was caused by a misplaced closing div ... I pushed that fix and the d&d update ... also an uninstall tweak to prevent some ugliness.  For testing the formatting you can just replace the portal.template file with the updated one in the dev branch in the repo.

When the portal is used and you click on the New Posts button, it refreshes the portal page and adds the new post to the bottom of the page.  Clicking on New Replies is working as intended.

With the latest version of SP there is no footer on the home page (portal mode:front page)

p.s. I like more the old SP credits near "powered by elkarte" instead of a new line at the end of the footer

Edit there is something wrong with the footer in topic view:

I am trying to make a new custom_besocial.css file for my forum, nothing special just some color changes. I have a test forum running elkarte 1.1.3 and only latest version of SP installed, no other addons. If I activate the portal and go to my forum index and the width of the window is less than 1000px I see this:

You can see it on https://sss.ovh/sk2018/index.php?action=forum
If portal is disabled it displays fine. How can I solve this? Thank you

Try: Disable portal in portal settings and save. Enable portal and save. Clear forum cache from admin and then clear browser cache. Also if you have any portal blocks in the footer area they display in the right side block area. At the moment right side blocks do not display anywhere.

I disabled all blocks, I cleared the forum and browser cache, I enabled and disabled SP, but nothing changed, I still have the problem described above.

I pushed a few more updates to the repo, it should fix a couple of the above reports.

1) the credits line was not inserting to the right area, it was also not following the proper language files
2) more flexbox EXPERIMENT updates, should correct a few more layout issues, but its still a work in progress

I can't reproduce this error, is anyone else seeing this behavior?

I have no problems with the blocks with SimplePortal 1.0.0 RC1 and ElkArte 1.1.3 in my testforum. I am using the portal as frontpage.

But I am using percent, not pixel for the width of the wrapper and for the width of the left and right portal blocks.

Thanks for the update, that fix the footer and the other problems I reported 8)
Suggestion: delete browser & forum cache

Cannot reproduce with this version, I am not sure but I think I saw something similar with an older release.

Thanks for the fixes. It is looking much better now. I realize it is still a work in progress but I just want to add a display issue I am seeing. When the width of browser window falls under 1280px the forum starts breaking out of the template like this:

Then if the browser windows goes under 1080 px the forum drops underneath the sidebar like this:

If I disable SimplePortal the forum does not break out of the template. It only happens when SimplePortal is enabled.
