XenPorta (Portal) 1.5.3a

[Admin]

I think the only "must have" XenForo is really missing right now is a Splash Portal. Pretty much every website out there has one, whether its just a feed or recent news announcements, or a full blown CMS. This mod intends to fill this obvious gap with a recent news announcements feed and a fully modular sidebar system. The former version of this mod also included a full blown "wiki-like" content management system; I have decided to fork that part into a completely separate mod. However, with the modular sidebar system, it will integrate seamlessly with this mod.

Features:

• News portal linking to admin defined forums
• THREAD PROMOTION to add to the news portal
• Index routing to take over the /index location
• Fully modular system with import/export
• Module caching based on individual timestamps
• Over a dozen pre-installed module blocks

Demo:

• http://www.8wayrun.com/

Installation:

• upload the entire contents of the attached zip to your XenForo root
• install from file on server: "library/EWRporta/addon-EWRporta.xml"
• set options for the portal in administration control panel
• set usergroup permissions for administration rights

Upgrading from < 1.5.0:

• If you are upgrading from a version before 1.5.0, you MUST uninstall XenPorta first!
• After uninstalling XenPorta, make sure to DELETE all relevant /library and /js files!
• Finally, make sure ALL XenPorta tables have been dropped from your database!

Usage Notes:

• You will need to add these template edits manually if you plan on Globalizing Thread and Forum Layouts respectively... as these hooks do not yet exist in XenForo and I'm having trouble convincing Kier to add them.
