There is something I miss from the old simple portal, the ability to set a topic as article. I know that article system has been improved, but I still miss that feature
sorry for my bad english

Is there any way to disable comments on some articles or better in some article categories?
I would like to build some static content, I know I could use pages in SP but there are no categories for pages

Hmm maybe I should tag Sinan, but the tag is not working... ? Wanted to, because it could be in the next version maybe.

EDIT: forgot brackets, @[SiNaN] :)

I am not sure this is the right spot to ask this question (please tell me where better): I installed elk and SP and the portal does not show up on the iphone 6 in any orientation. (On the ipad is does, though.) The option to hide the portal on mobile is not ticked.

Well, I guess my question really is: is the behavior I witness so by chance or by design?

There are two things needed (currently) to enable the portal for mobile devices.

1) Under general settings, make sure "Disable on mobile devices" is not checked.  This is the master portal setting as some admins don't want to try and show the portal on a phone.
2) Now for each block that you want to show on a mobile device, in that block definition check "Show on mobile:"

This allows you to selectively show certain blocks for mobile devices so they are not overwhelmed.  The portal try's to stack as best it can, it still needs to be converted to a div layout to improve its mobile responsiveness.

Yes, step (2) is what I missed and all's good now that I checked those options. Thank you!

Any chance of a flexible "multiple" portals system? Specifically, I wish to use a frontpage portal for the main part of a site, and configure its topic/post blocks to only show posts from select forums. Then I want to feature a block or two on a specific subforum's index page, containing a list of recent topics configured to that subforum and all of its nested subforums.

So: Frontpage, plus optional blocks on a specific subforum.

I already have this on an existing crufty IP Board 2.3.x installation, at https://hydrogenaud.io/, where the main site displays a main portal, and subforum 28 displays the foobar2000 subforum, along with a recent posts view for its children. This was managed through installation of a custom portal script, and custom theme bits that are required by the forum script. The theme bits are all mismanagable through IP Board's awful theme editor, where you create/edit bits by name, and contents are mixed HTML and PHP script which can reference arbitrary variables set by the code which instantiates them. Minor yuck.

Hi.

Code: [Select]
Unknown column 'spb.style' in 'field list'
File: /home/user/public_html/sources/subs/Portal.subs.php
Line: 394

Note: Your database version is 1.0.5.

SimplePortal 2.4 © 2008-2014 as shown by footer. I had used 0.0.3 from your Github.

ETA: 0.0.2 has same issue. Testing 0.0.1... /ETA

ETA2: 0.0.1 also borkenated. So basically every one of the releases is broken for me. :c I must've grabbed one of the older copies prior to that table going into effect... ah well, I'm sure we'll fix it.

So... yeah. :P

Interesting... We once managed to do that with PortaMX and its subforums mod while using SMF. However, no other portal mods is able to do that as we never try to tap into its code.

If I have a chance, may be I'll try to look into the possibilities of using subforums addon and simple portal addon to produce something similar.

Is there any chance to make sidebar by Simple Portal act responsive. Last time I tried the sidebar overlapped on home page.

Having blocks that only appear on certain boards/pages/custom URLs is definitely possible with SimplePortal.

For some reason (don't ask me the reason :P), I see that the code in the master branch uses "styles" (plural), while all the releases have "style" (singular). Could it be you grabbed the master first an a release later on?
As far as I can see, master is in active development, while the releases are rather "old" (0.0.3 is from March).
First thing I'd check the database to see what's the name of the column: "style" or "styles". If the latter then I guess you can grab the master zip and upload the files you can find there (disclaimer: I don't know what are the differences between master and the tags, so maybe wait until Spuds replies :P).
Bugs creator.
Features destroyer.
Template killer.

master.zip and all the releases do not work for me. I suspect I'll have to completely remove the SP data and then retry installing.

Edit: So "uninstalling" something like 3 or 4 times with several different SimplePortal versions finally got it to where it was uninstalled.

Then I tried reinstalling. SimplePortal now works. I don't know what happened but... I guess somewhere in one of those multiple uninstall attempts, I managed to unstick something just enough to get it fixed properly.

@Spuds

Is there any way to do a reset on the customization of block layout for all members?
I have done some new blocks, and would like to be sure they are in the correct position.
Also, any way to totally disable members from drag and dropping the blocks?
I have it somewhat done, it seems, but the move icon still shows, when hover over the block titles.

Using:
SimplePortal 1.0.0 Beta 1 © 2008-2014

I have done some modifications to shoutbox, and other areas, so that's why on that particular version.
