Topic: The All New Crip Zone Demo Forum!

Looks like it's coming together quite nicely.

OK, TP has been installed but I'm not sure what's wrong with the frontpage and the "Read More".

It should be showing the entire first post like here:

You seem to have a post and a block running, unless you've just added that block afterwards?

[Skhilled]

Yes, but I've checked all of the settings from the test site and the live one and they are different. Something's not right. Maybe after I take a nap I'll get it sorted.

I don't mind taking a look in case you missed something, let me know if you get stuck. 

I will note you're running two different versions of TP on those two sites, one's TP1.3 and the other TP1.3R  Not that it should make any difference to your problem, but you never know.   We have got a issue displaying front page articles and promoted posts together (at the same time) when running on 2.0.14 /15  We are trying to look into this atm. These latest SMF updates have screwed loads of things for some reason.

Yes, I've been noticing the differences between the versions. I do think the issue is same as you're describing.

Yes, I can make you admin so you can have a look.

Thing is Steve, on your test site you have one post, and one block down the middle of the front page.  On Cripzone you have one post, and no block.  So the problem appears to be the block isn't showing.  Do you have that panel turned on?

Yep switch me to temp admin if you like, I'll compare the settings.

[Skhilled]

You're in...

[Mick]

Sorted, should look the same as your test site now.

While I was there I noticed your recent topics block was broken regarding the avatars, so created a new one for you,  "Recent Topics 2"  up to you which one you keep, but obviously one of them will need turning off, and renaming. lol..

I said avatars, didn't I, I meant the new icon.  But I have enabled the avatars in the new recent topics block I added.   

[Skhilled]

LOL, no problem and thanks for the help! 

[Mick]

LOL, no problem and thanks for the help! 

No problem Steve, glad that was a easy fix for a change.  I'm guessing you will perhaps turn off the post below that front block now, as it's a duplicate of the same content?

[Skhilled]

Done!

[Mick]

Done!

Cool.

One more thing, (oh oh, I hear you say) lol.   The User/Stats block, is this a custom one you added there, or something left over from SP or something, it's nothing like the current TP one?  Nether was the Recent Topics block you had.  Just curious.

[Skhilled]

It may have been from an older TP version, perhaps? I made no changes to it, I just added it. So, it may have used the old code when I did it. That's my best guess.

Ah, I get you.  This is stuff left over in the database from when Maxx uninstalled and didn't remove all the TP data on uninstall.  That's fine.  So most blocks that were already there will need adding again, and old ones turning off, to make sure they are using latest code, and hooks.  The Latest Topics one is already done.  The others should be ok unless they cause problems, if so just replace them.
