Extra Portal 1.2.4

[oman]

Will this work with XenForo 1.4 or will it ruin everything and end in a fiery explosion?

Works perfectly in 1.4.

How do I install this for xenforo 1.4? I'm a bit confused because the upload file only contains "Library" and some .DS_Store file which I don't know what to do with...

Upload everything in the UPLOAD folder to the root.

That's not detailed enough. Where do I put the .DS_Store file that's in the upload folder? I assume I put the library folder in the "library" folder in public html

Upload everything in the UPLOAD folder to the root.

The installation instructions are generally the same for all add-ons, unless the add-on is only an XML:

• Download the ZIP
• Extract its contents to your computer
• Upload the contents of the UPLOAD folder to the root
• Complete the installation in the ACP by importing the XML file

.DS_Store is a Mac OS file. It shouldn't be included in any add-ons but sometimes devs who package these add-ons on a Mac don't clear them out (though they should). You can ignore this file.

Not sure what this add on does I read the description. Does it make a front page ??

Hey I got this installed and I love it! Psst, it's better than XenPorta. But, I have a few questions.

1: How to make the width of the update window smaller

2. How to make the "Character Limit" larger. Basically, how to make the summary of the update on the portal longer.

1: How to make the width of the update window smaller

What do you mean by update window?

2. How to make the "Character Limit" larger. Basically, how to make the summary of the update on the portal longer.

As for making the character limit larger go into your admin panel and go into the extra portal settings (admin.php?options/list/extra_portal). Where it says Char limit that's where you will change the limit of characters you want. (See image below)

Installed, no errors how do you get the portal to open as the front end as opposed to the forum.
Right now I have the home buttons, but surfing to my site goes to the forum not the portal.
Probably something easy I missed.

Set "portal/" as the index route prefix. ( http://xenforo.com/help/set-index-page/ )

Set the index page route to portal/.

Oh ok, I was looking for a program setting got it. Still working on finding how items show up
but think I got and idea how it works. Thanks for the super fast response guys that was cool.

Sorry another question, I see the forum listed in the ACP box I created a test post, and then tried a new thread .
They are located in the box , does it require a Cron to update ? All I am seeing is a blank page.?

 

[WCFA]

Solved , I see permission in Admin was not set. All working . Thank You.
