Honestly, my biggest gripe with the portal was the inability to truncate posts. I always felt this hurt sites that have used the portal as a simple news syndication tool because it doesn't give admins control of steering guests towards actual forum content. I would pay money to have the ability to truncate posts.

If you don't mind applying a template edit, can probably put together some instructions for this. IPB have their own built in truncate function, I assume you just want to limit the main full topics to # amount of characters?

Yes, Previously someone actually put up some instructions on how to do this with CSS but it would regularly cut off things like images and youtube videos. If there is another way, i would sure love to give it a shot.

btw, is the latest portal available in the marketplace compatible with 3.14?

[Michael]

Yes, there is also a version for IPB 3.2 now. I've PM'd you the template edit.

[eusty]

A template edit would be great if you could PM me it please?

It may also be an idea to add an option to the standard template, one of the problems with the portal is when someone puts a long post!!

I have a quick question about the portal, something I think worked in 1.3 or something way back, making www.example.org show the portal when the ip.board software is located in www.example.com/forum/, is this still possible, if not, could you make it possible in the future?

PM Sent. The truncate function doesn't work for everyone but once I do find a good solution, plan on adding it.

To be honest I haven't checked yet. I believe it's possible with IP.Content so will have a check when I get a chance to see if instructions/files can be included for the Portal.

Great to see you like to add UPoral features to IP. Portal.

Have to admit I'm in much the same boat (Although I do realize paid mods come first   )

[gerry5039]

Go to initdata.php in the root of your forum and open it, find this line around line 50

define( 'IPS_DEFAULT_PUBLIC_APP', 'forums' );

And change it to

define( 'IPS_DEFAULT_PUBLIC_APP', 'portal' );

Your board will always open with portal first, good luck.

Hi,

I have my portal on http://www.scenario-paintball.com and my forums on http://forums.scenario-paintball.com

My www virtual host has this option :

		DirectoryIndex portal.php

And this is my portal.php :

<?php
/**
* <pre>
* Invision Power Services
* IP.Board v3.2.0
* Main public executable wrapper.
* Set-up and load module to run
* Last Updated: $Date: 2011-03-11 12:41:48 -0500 (Fri, 11 Mar 2011) $

*/

define( 'IPB_THIS_SCRIPT', 'public' );

/* Portal */
define( 'IPS_DEFAULT_PUBLIC_APP', 'portal' );
define( 'IPS_PUBLIC_SCRIPT', 'index.php' );
define( 'IPB_URL', 'http://forums.scenario-paintball.com' );

require_once( './initdata.php' );/*noLibHook*/

require_once( IPS_ROOT_PATH . 'sources/base/ipsRegistry.php' );/*noLibHook*/
require_once( IPS_ROOT_PATH . 'sources/base/ipsController.php' );/*noLibHook*/

ipsController::run();

exit();

?>

My problem is that www redirect to forums.

Any idea ?

[llaumgui]

Problem solved. It's provide to the _fUrlComplete function of the ipsRegistry class :

		/* www.hostname.com vs hostname.com - need to ensure we are at the correct URL for AJAX purposes */
		if( !defined('CCS_GATEWAY_CALLED') && ipsRegistry::$request['request_method'] == 'get' )
		{
			$_requestedHost		= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
			$_configuredHost	= parse_url( ipsRegistry::$settings['board_url'], PHP_URL_HOST );
			$uri				= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']  ? $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']  : @getenv('REQUEST_URI');
			$_t					= !empty(ipsRegistry::$settings['board_url']) ? @parse_url( ipsRegistry::$settings['board_url'] ) : @parse_url( ipsRegistry::$settings['base_url'] );
			$_toTest			= ( $_t['path'] AND $_t['path'] != '/' ) ? preg_replace( "#^{$_t['path']}#", '', $uri ) : str_replace( $_t['scheme'] . '://' . $_t['host'], '', $uri );

			if( strpos( $_configuredHost, 'www.' ) === 0 AND strpos( $_requestedHost, 'www.' ) !== 0 )
			{
				ipsRegistry::getClass('output')->silentRedirect( ipsRegistry::$settings['board_url'] . $_toTest );
			}
			else if( strpos( $_configuredHost, 'www.' ) !== 0 AND strpos( $_requestedHost, 'www.' ) === 0 )
			{
				ipsRegistry::getClass('output')->silentRedirect( ipsRegistry::$settings['board_url'] . $_toTest );
			}
		}

Just add define ('CCS_GATEWAY_CALLED', false); in your portal.php.

I have a another problem. portal don't work if I rename admin folder...

This announcement seems to be turning into a support topic, currently I'm only offering support for the Portal on the IPS Forums. You can find the support topic here. I've also created a suggestions topic for the next version here. Any bugs you encounter can be reported here.

To answer your question llaumgui, currently the Portal doesn't come with this file but I will be looking into it next version. I'll close this topic to prevent future confusion, the links above should cover everything.
