Can somebody help me out off this?
Before TinyPortal, i have checked and found NO problems

Thanks

I have the same error. I'm sure Bloc will check it out when he gets a chance. I have feeling he'll be updating the portal soon anyway.

[verbam]

Thanks !
The only thing is that this gives me too much errors in my database and it is now difficult to see if there is something else who go wrong.

I will wait and in mean time try to disable the error logging

Found the problem:
In the file : TPortal.template.php
on line 13 add next:ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ, $context['TPortal']['mystart']=0;
This will remove the error from our forum, untill Bloc find another solution.
The rest off my forum + portal seems to be ok now.

So the first 20 lines off the sourcecode will be as follows:

[Bjørn]

Yes, thats how to get rid of the errors. Declare the variable.Thank you.

[verbam]

I hope i did it well.

next error that i have found ....

If you do NOT login & go to a topic with attachment TRUE the TPortal (who shows the articles for guest) then the login screen appears.... -->OK

THE ERROR:
now i login ..... --> and get again the login screen ... --> login again... --> go to the topic & try to download attachment ... --> GET again the login screen

TEMPO SOLUTION
do not allow guest to see topics in the TPortal
then you have to login BEFORE you can see the topic with attachment


CU (will try to find this error)

[verbam]

maybe you get angry with me, but i am testing your Portal today and found next:

Colored text in an article say's : "New features are as follows:" instead: "New features are as follows:"

[verbam]

meaning in the portal =

Code Select Expand

[color=Orange]New features are as follows:

instead:
New features are as follows:"

This error is caused by the way SSI.php works, which is part of the forum. If there is a mix of topics that both have attachments and not attachments, there is no way(without adding a rather complex sql query) to know what topics are which. And its logical too..the attachment is closed for guests - you need to login to see it.

[color=Orange]New features are as follows:

Not sure what you mean here.

[verbam]

This is what i see in the portal: (the COLOR orange =CODE and not the color)



This is the SAME article in the forum: where the text haves the orange color

I have changed my forum from IPB2 to SMF and the portal from MKPortal to TinyPortal, just because there are a lot futures in the new software who's working better then the previous installed + they are FREE to use!.

BUT in the previous configuration works it well and did i not have this error.
I will check this out BUT i can tell you that it WORKS without the portal installed.

Means: Visitors can SEE the topics but can NOT download the attachments.
Once they click on this attachment the FORUM ask you to login... and you can download.
If i do the same with the Portal installed i have the problem like i have discibed.

MANY THANKS to read my post and HELP me out off this!
Still your PORTAL is GREAT !!!!!

[Bjørn]

Thank you.

Ok, now i understand about the color..
It seems that it is a missing [/color] stops the text from being the color you specify in a block. In SMf I think there are performed a check to close non-closed tags like that. I could do the extra call in blocks too, but it will add to overall performance in a bad way, so I rather not. 

The login error...I will replicate that and see what happens.

[verbam]

This is the complete text BUT i think that your portal reads only the block who is displayed (settings in you portal = Length of posts to show on frontpage(in charachters): 200)
AND in this 200 charachters (picture include) there is no [/color]

Code Select Expand

[color=orange]New features are as follows:

- Fixed to not cut off the bottom of LimeWire when using an 800x600 resolution.
- Added a Splash Screen that shows much faster.
- Added a right-click Context Menu to all text fields for Undo, Cut, Paste, Copy, Delete, and Select All.
- Fixed to save window sizes on OSX when using Command-Q or the Dock's Quit option.
- Fixed to not make the 'Getting Started' or 'LimeWire PRO ad' invisible on OSX when changing search types.
- Fixed Linux RPM installer to accept JREs that describe themselves as "j2re" instead of "jre". [/color]

Don't worry... i will not use the color text anymore if it is too much job.

Thanks for the QUICK answer
CU

[Bjørn]

I forgot that - the shortening of texts in the middle of an open tag. This I need to find a solution for.

[verbam]

Thanks again, now i will search again for the login problem.
I let you know where it goes wrong.

Yeah, this fix the error.

Here is for someone if they have trouble to locate the TPortal.template.php

it is located in Themes/default in case if others are not aware of.
