I remember when you (Chris) first announced the ocPortal change to Composr so long ago. Good to see the changes and cleanliness of it all.

Tonight I installed a fresh (not updated from ocPortal v8 or v9) beta.

Ran the setup wizard, which was very similar to ocPortal but I liked the new layout of it all when it came to picking and choosing what to display and what not.

It was a bit slow at moments, but I don't blame the software for that.  Would like to use this thread for any praises or errors if I may in my designing of the site. Plus it'll be fun to see the progession of it from start to….never finished.

Here is my first error:

"A configuration option (username_click_im) which does not exist was referenced"

I'm guessing this is something real easy to fix.

Thanks Eric, glad to have you on board with testing .

Keep the bug reports rolling in!

It will be a bit of a gap before beta3 as I'm out in the US on a project for a while and I'll be managing the bug fixing.

Happy if I can help Chris. And welcome (back) to the states…   .

I've been doing my research and guessing my error has to do with a "chat"?

Edit: Yep. It's the chat add-on. I installed it and the error went away! 

Working on using the default theme layout. Nothing too fancy, but figured out my color theme and was able to go through edit a few things. Also gave credit where credit is due in the footer. 

So I ran into my first snag. It's not an error or bug… mainly a customization issue.

With ocPortal, this was done automatically in the downloads admin area for me and I didn't need to configure anything. I'm thinking I missed a step somewhere and cannot rack my brain on what I missed.

As you see with the image below, the download's parent category is the home page. And then the parent category of that category is also the home page.



Is there a step I missed, so it'll show Home → Boxer Shorts → The Sims 2 instead of Home → Site → The Sims 2? My downloads edit category shows it correctly as you see below.

You might want to enable Single Public Zone if you don't want the Welcome Zone, otherwise you can edit the Breadcrumb overrides XML and alter the link.

I currently have Single Public Zone enabled and not sure editing the Breadcrumbs XML will work. And if so, which substitution to edit.

If you have Single Public Zone enabled, then the site breadcrumb becomes another link the welcome zone (as the site zone is no longer valid). If you go to Admin Zone > Structure > Breadcrumb overrides, you can remove

<span label="Site">site:</span>

from the Breadcrumbs

<substitution match_key="site:_WILD_NOT_START:browse">
      <span label="Home">:</span>
      <span label="Site">site:</span>
</substitution>
<substitution match_key="site:_WILD_NOT_START">
      <span label="Home">:</span>
      <span label="Site">site:</span>
</substitution>

Pretty sure the above change won't fix the breadcrumbs within the Downloads, but it will at least remove the double links to the Welcome Zone.

I would think Boxer shorts would appear in the breadcrumbs when you actually load that page, on the screenshot it seems you aren't actually viewing the boxer shorts page, just the entry point. I could be wrong, I often am. You could probably override the breadcrumbs with a bit of experimentation, but if they aren't working as intended I am sure they will be working right again in Beta3.

It's a start, so I thank you (KingBast) for that. Got rid of the double linking to the home page.

These issues will be fixed in beta 3, thanks.

I started playing around with the built-in forums. I wanted to do something different and added two blocks on the right side. I'll probably completely change what I did as it's redundant to have a user statistics block on the side and bottom and a notifications on the side and top. Just playing around of course.

However, adding the blocks, I did notice that it's missing the word members perhaps for when there is one online? See highlight in the image below. It looks weird. 1 0 guests. Think it means 1 members 0 guests?

It does look like it's showing numbers for both members and guests, but missing the word "members". In the previous version (v9) it would list the members names instead of a count.

Fixed for next release, thx.

Today I played with the Usergroups option.

I added Usergroups with no problem.

But when I went to edit and upload a Usergroup rank image, I got this:



Going back to the Usergroup edit page, the new rank image was there, so was able to change it to that. So that was a plus.

P.S. - Clicking the image icon in a new post here doesn't ask for an attachment for me anymore.   So I apologize for the large image. But at least it's easy to see…lol

Yeah I had the same problem and have reported it to Chris. I've come across a lot of issues in beta 2 thus far… and Chris will probably want to strangle me and shout "Let me get beta 3 out!" lol. The POST security token issue is still present in some areas (must be tedious to keep track of all the forms and whether or not they include the new security token feature, so I can understand some of them are missing by accident). And Composr's WYSIWYG has several critical bugs in it too still, such as messing up your comcode tags and HTML parameters when you go to edit a comcode page. Also there was once that all the button icons were incorrect for their function on the editor, but couldn't reproduce the error after that one time.

Fixed in git, thanks.

Upgraded from beta 2 to beta 4….





Successful!

I do hope by the time the stable release comes out, the product logo in the admin dashboard turns from ocPortal to Composr. 

Ah, that had been unintentionally left outdated. Fixed in git .
