Any plans on making TinyPortal ready for SMF 2.1?

[@rjen]

Hi Guys,
still very happy with Tinyportal, and glad you guys have update to the latest version. I still find Tinyportal the best Portal Mod for SMF.

I was wondering is there are plans to update Tinyportal for use with SMF 2.1 sometine in the future? I checked the forum, but could not find information on this.

No hurry, but sometine in the future SMF 2.1 should be stable and having Tinyportal will be a go/no-go criterium for upgrading my forum...

@rjen.  Happy new year to you.

Actually we're already testing a version in SMF 2.1 You can see it here, http://cctestsite.info/testsite3/ It's working pretty nicely so far.

Looks excellent. Can't tell what needs work on the backend, the front-end seems quite OK.

Of course, Happy new year to you too!

I will be keeping my eyes open for the official announcement of the next version of TP!

Thanks, that's Illori's handy work, she's done a great job on this conversion.

@rjen, I forgot to ask. Do you have a test site?

if yes then you could grab a copy of TP2 from our GitHub repo which can be found here https://github.com/Tinyportal/TinyPortal-SMF2.1

Remember this must only be used for testing, and not on a production site. 

You must download and install the latest GitHub version of SMF2.1 beta 2 from their GitHub repo found here. https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Will do some time soon. I can setup a local copy of our forum and run an upgrade to 2.1. Will Let you know what I find....

[@rjen]

So, I upgrade my test forum to 2.1 Beta this mornign and installed the new TP.

Forum can be found here: test.fjr-club.nl

How I went about it:
Step 1. Upgraded the forum 2.0.11 to 2.1 Beta:

- I dit not uninstall any of the existing MODs, SMF 2.1 updrage should give me a clean set of files (I believe)
- I uploaded the Dutch language pack from SMF
- I corrected three errors in the Dutch language pack for SMF   

Result: Forum up and running on 2.1 beta, dutch language ..

Step 2. Installed TP2.0 using the package manager

- I did not bother updating my old SMF 2.0 them: that is another topic, using default from her on
- Installation works OK and redirects me to the TP admin page

So far no problems.

Then the findings start:

The Homepage does not build correctly: you can check the site for an example
And give errors:

Number 1:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function set_avatar_data() in /home/deb77453/domains/fjr-club.nl/public_html/test/Sources/TPSubs.php on line 2240

May be in one of the block codes (recent posts, see http://www.fjr-club.nl/)
It seems this is now completely ruining the page, so I may have to dactivate this block for now...

Number 2:
The admin log is filling up rapidly wtih errors:

8: Undefined index: 5
File: /home/deb77453/domains/fjr-club.nl/public_html/test/Themes/default/TPsubs.template.php
Line: 999

I am going to see what I can fix...


[update]

Deactivating the Recent topics Block made the page build a little further, alas, now the error apperas at the first article the tries to build...


Fatal error: Call to undefined function set_avatar_data() in /home/deb77453/domains/fjr-club.nl/public_html/test/Themes/default/TPsubs.template.php on line 102

There is definiately a problem with the retrieval of the avatars...

@rjen, just to clarify, the test site is here http://test.fjr-club.nl/index.php

I think you're the only one who's gone down the upgrade route so far, so I'm sure we're going to run into some problems like this.  I've only tested on clean installs atm, not sure about the rest of the team.

Anyway, could you start by turning off page=1 in your articles.

Yes, that is the test site.

And no problems being the first to upgrade: someone has to do it and I rather have a nice upgrade than having to recreate alle the content manually...

I am not sure what you mean by switching of page=1 in articles? Do you mean not showing them om the home page?

[@rjen]

Done that, and the homepage now shows...

but going to an article: http://test.fjr-club.nl/index.php?page=9

Still the same problem:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function set_avatar_data() in /home/deb77453/domains/fjr-club.nl/public_html/test/Sources/TPortal.php on line 619
