I just upgraded my forum to PHP 7.4 (from 5.6) and upgraded to TinyPortal  2.1.0

While the settings still seem to have carried over, those settings aren't displayed.

What do I mean?
Well I have the right panel activated
In that panel I have the recent topics block activated.

But as you can see here https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?action=forum
and here https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?board=1.0
The right hand sidebar with recent topics does not appear.

The same applies to the bottom panel which I have activated, and the bottom panel stats block is activated but that's also not visible.

Please help :)


@rjen

Hmm, why are you posting both on SMF and here?

Can you see the panels and blocks as admin?

Have you checked the panel settings?
> make sure there are set to show

Can you check the 'allow panels to be collapsed' setting
> switch it on and then collapse and open the panels, it may be a cookie issue...

Have you checked the block permissions?

What version of TinyPortal were you running prior to upgrading?  And how exactly did you upgrade?

lurkalot

By the look of the forum, it appears to be behaving a bit odd all round.  No info centre showing etc.  Was this disabled in some way on purpose? And did you make sure SMF was all working properly before you installed TP?

i posted there first and then figured here might be a better place.

I did a forced refresh, but will try that now.

They should have been carried over surely. I'll check.

I was running 1.5.1
I simply uninstalled the old one and installed the new one.

IIRC the SMF info centre I disabled and used the TinyPortal one instead?
I may be mistaken on that, it's been a while.

Not extensively but it all seemed to be working fine at the time (TP excepted).

I have since discovered that 'like posts' no longer works but I haven't changed that mod at all, so that's an unrelated issue to the TP issue.


lurkalot

Ok, so what mods do you  have installed? 

I'm wondering if there's some sort of conflict thing going on, 

lurkalot

Ok, managed to get a look under the hood.  The blocks were not sowing because the "Use language visibility option for blocks" setting was enabled.

Although this was enabled in TP settings, it wasn't enabled in the blocks themselves.  Anyway I've disabled it and your blocks are back.

Also took the liberty of unchecking the curve theme from "Select unresponsive themes" setting, as you have the Responsive curve mod installed you might as well have the portal responsive as well. You ca check it again if you don't want this for some reason.  ;)

@rjen

Ha, now it makes sense... he came from 1.5.1.

There was an issue with the language visibility settings that was fixed in 1.6.4. Since that is quite a while ago I did not think of that...

QuoteTINYPORTAL 1.6.4

This release includes the following fixes:

Relevant to 2.0 and 2.1:

I'd forgotten about that too if I'm honest.. lol.  ;)
