Quote:<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
Instead of 2 tags I had one for every table which was 17 of one code and 17 of the other for a total of 34 times.
Im also going to assume no one elses portal page has been redone like mine, that's why they were not having issues. Labrocca can confirm this as I also sent him my output code from the portal page after your plugin is initiated.
That could probably be the issue. There should only be two tags: one for the top and one for the bottom. Have you tried to remove all of them while the plugin is activated?
The multiple tags cause the javascript to be loaded every time, which may cause conflicts.
No I already un-installed the plugin and I will not re-install it again until the issues are resolved. I've already spent enough time trying to figure this out and even had Jesse take a look (Great guy always btw, can't say enough good about Jesse) I can't use my board as a test board smethead, I have way too many people on at all times and too much to lose if something happens. Sorry, I tried several times already. If I can't use the plugin that's ok and Im ready to accept that. I will however make you the same offer you made me, I will help you as much as I can thru this post
If that helps you at all..

It's another bug I already ran across. It's because the plug-in when activated turns
{$latestthreads}
into
{$asoi_latestthreads}
Im not exact on the asoi part, could be asio, can't remember exactly since I un-installed the plugin. To show latest threads again you need to have
{$latestthreads}
In your portal page..
Best option for this plugin IMO is to remove the ability to put it on the portal page and run it off the forum index only.
1. Not many people use their portal page. The ones that do, (like me) usually have them modified. I guess if you could control where the call tag(s) are supposed to go in the template you could control the duplification of tags. That would allow it to stay on the portal also and work with customized pages possibly. Just a few thoughts anyhow.
i removed it from my portal by hand,...
i will wait with installing on my live forums,...
its a really good plugin. with or without this little portal isue

Jep, asoi removes the latest threads because it has its own list with latest threads. Just remove the asoi_ part in the template to get them back. Also, I'm not really sure of what you mean with controlling where the call tags are supposed to go in the template. It's quite difficult to support all kinds of modifications with the templates.

There isn't all kinds of modifications in my templates. My portal is modified but "only" with html tables. I don't have this problem with the gallery strip at the top of my portal that's a plugin. The other plugin doesn't reproduce itself 34 times in my portal when activated. So if anyone wants to use this plugin that's got a modified portal page, they can count on it crashing their forum. That's a bug. No plugin should crash a forum no matter what. Not for using simple html tables..
It's your plugin, but you should at least put a warning up that your plugin could cause issues with modified pages and could crash a their forum.
There is a warning for possible harm in the license you have to agree to download it from the mods site.
Anyway I'll try to look for a better way to implement it in a couple of weeks. I have exams now.

I understand this, but, this is a known issue. Adding a disclaimer there's an issue in your first post will stop people from downloading it and having issues if they have a modified portal page. It will save them a lot of time not having to take out all the tags that's injected by the plugin. Not to mention the heart sinking effect when their forum doesn't come back up. A lot of people have no clue what to do when your forum crashes and how to fix it. Then they have to spend how much time waiting for help to fix the issue and a down forum. Again, just my thoughts.
And yes, people can go 3 to 4 pages deep and find our posts in regards to this issue, but many don't. They see a plugin and go straight to download. Like I done because I've trusted your plugins in the past. It will save a lot of headache imo

It's great, except it can get really glitchy.
If you click the same tab your on again, it'll disappear, and if you click it again, it shows up in a different box to the right, and just completely screws up the layout.
