 Posted: July 3rd 2007, 5:08 pm Post subject: Need Help with ezPortal Admin for phpBB2 |
 |
|
I'm not sure if it is the tutorial I need help with or the portal.php itself. I have been getting a string error any time I tried to change the text of welcome message on the portal page before the ezPortal Admin mod.
I thought I could do it it easily after installing the ezPortal admin. Everything works right except for the Welcome message. I am stuck with this code, I try to change it but it goes back to this code.
| Code:
|
|
<input type="text" maxlength="9999" size="40" name="welcome_text" value=" name="board_msg" rows="10" cols="45">Welcome to <b>My Community</b><br /><br />Thanks for using ezPortal,<br /><br />Have a good time! ^_^<br><br>
|
I've tried to change all of it, part of it, erase it. Still comes back to the above code and won't change AT all.
Please help.

Hopefully this will be of some assistance to you, mine has been tweaked a bit over the years I have been using it. 
I my ./admin/admin_portal.php file I have
| Code:
|
'L_WELCOME_TEXT' => $lang['Welcome_Text'],
'L_WELCOME_TEXT_EXPLAIN' => $lang['Welcome_Text_explain'],
|
then a little farther down in the file I have
| Code:
|
|
'WELCOME_TEXT' => $new['welcome_text'],
|
Then in my file ./language/lang_english/lang_admin.php I have
| Code:
|
$lang['Welcome_Text'] = 'Welcome Message';
$lang['Welcome_Text_explain'] = 'Welcome Text: note there is a 9999 character limit';
|
And in /templates/all_named_templates/portal_config_body.tpl I have
| Code:
|
<tr>
<td class="row1" width="38%"><b>{L_WELCOME_TEXT}</b><br /><br /><span class="gensmall">{L_WELCOME_TEXT_EXPLAIN}</span></td>
<td class="row2" width="62%"><textarea input type="text" class="post" maxlength="9999" size="60" name="welcome_text" rows="10" cols="60">{WELCOME_TEXT}</textarea></td>
</tr>
|
Also, when I started using phpBB, there was no such thing as a db_update.php file, only phpMyAdmin, so the sql command I use
| Code:
|
CREATE TABLE phpbb_portal (
portal_name VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
portal_value TEXT NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( portal_name )
)TYPE=MyISAM;
INSERT INTO phpbb_portal ( portal_name , portal_value ) VALUES ('welcome_text', 'Welcome to <b>My Community</b><br /><br />Thanks for using ezPortal,<br /><br />Have a good time! ^_^');
INSERT INTO phpbb_portal ( portal_name , portal_value ) VALUES ('number_of_news', '5');
INSERT INTO phpbb_portal ( portal_name , portal_value ) VALUES ('news_length', '200');
INSERT INTO phpbb_portal ( portal_name , portal_value ) VALUES ('news_forum', '1');
INSERT INTO phpbb_portal ( portal_name , portal_value ) VALUES ('poll_forum', '1');
INSERT INTO phpbb_portal ( portal_name , portal_value ) VALUES ('number_recent_topics', '10');
INSERT INTO phpbb_portal ( portal_name , portal_value ) VALUES ('last_seen', '5');
|
Like I said earlier I hope there is something in there you can use to help you track down your problem. |

Thanks for your help.
Can you tell me what it says on your portal.php? My has this for the configuration..
| Code:
|
//
// Set configuration for ezPortal
//
// Welcome Text: note that we are in PHP file, so use \' instead of ' and use \\ instead of \ (HTML enabled)
// $CFG['welcome_text'] = 'Welcome to <b>My Community</b><br /><br />Thanks for using ezPortal,<br /><br />Have a good time! ^_^';
// Number of news on portal
// $CFG['number_of_news'] = '10';
// Length of news
// $CFG['news_length'] = '1000';
// News Forum ID: separate by comma for multi-forums, eg. '1,2,5'
// $CFG['news_forum'] = '1';
// Poll Forum ID: separate by comma for multi-forums, eg. '3,8,14'
// $CFG['poll_forum'] = '5,6,7,8,9';
// Number of Recent Topics (not Forum ID)
// $CFG['number_recent_topics'] = '12';
// Excluding forums for Recent Topics, eg. '1,2,3' (note: my Recent Topics script has its own permission checking, so you can leave this variable blank)
// $CFG['exceptional_forums'] = '';
//
// END configuration
// --------------------------------------------------------
|
I copied what you had down to the /templates/all_named_templates/portal_config_body.tpl but then it left an open edit space on the portal itself. I still couldn't change it using the admin portal hak.
I'm specifically having trouble with this line...
| Code:
|
// Welcome Text: note that we are in PHP file, so use \' instead of ' and use \\ instead of \ (HTML enabled)
// $CFG['welcome_text'] = 'Welcome to <b>My Community</b><br /><br />Thanks for using ezPortal,<br /><br />Have a good time! ^_^';

Oh my, on mine, I moved it to ./includes/page_header.php, so in portal.php I just left myself a note
| Code:
|
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Set configuration for ezPortal
//
// ezPortal configuration is now handled in the phpBB Administration Control Panel.
// Any new Blocks you may add in the future need to be added after page_header.php has been loaded.
//
// Welcome Text: note that we are in PHP file, so use \' instead of ' and use \\ instead of \ (HTML enabled)
// $CFG['welcome_text'] = 'Welcome to <b>My Community</b><br /><br />Thanks for using ezPortal,<br /><br />Have a good time! ^_^';
// Number of news on portal
// $CFG['number_of_news'] = '5';
// Length of news
// $CFG['news_length'] = '200';
// News Forum ID: separate by comma for multi-forums, eg. '1,2,5'
// $CFG['news_forum'] = '1';
// Poll Forum ID: separate by comma for multi-forums, eg. '3,8,14'
// $CFG['poll_forum'] = '1';
// Random Poll Forum ID: separate by comma for multi-forums, eg. '3,8,14'
// $CFG['rand_poll_forum'] = '1';
//
// End configuration
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
|
and then in ./includes/page_header.php I have
| Code:
|
define('HEADER_INC', TRUE);
//-- add mod : ezPortal v.2.1.8e w/ezPortal admin -----------------------------
// Read Portal Configuration from DB
define('PORTAL_TABLE', $table_prefix.'portal');
$CFG = array();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . PORTAL_TABLE;
if( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) )
{
message_die(CRITICAL_ERROR, "Could not query ezPortal config information", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) )
{
$CFG[$row['portal_name']] = $row['portal_value'];
}
$portal_config = $CFG;
//
//-- end mod : ezPortal v.2.1.8e w/ezPortal admin -----------------------------
//
