Wow, that's a simple, yet powerful MOD. I got it up and running in no time (on my test site). Very simple to use and add content.

Just wondering--any plans to make different news items separate more easily? I notice on your site, you type in .: before the titles, which would do the trick, but in the long run, it'd be better to have a better way. Bullets perhaps?

Thanks for your contribution! It's fun to play with.

I did actually plan to redo the mod using the base snitz tables but probably best not to now.

Will add some more features next month hopefully

Hi David

Great looking mod, I've installed all the tables successfully, etc, but there's one small snag. In admin_config_cms.asp I've selected the radio button to display the right nav width with a default specification of 1 item displayed within it and with a width of 150. I've also created some test homepage content called Blah, Blah, Blah, with yeah, yeah, yeah in the summary line and whatever, whatever, whatever in the body. I've added a category called rightside. I've saved all the info and submitted the new specs. So why can't I see the right nav with this info on my homepage ? I take it my homepage is default.asp ? http://www.pilottravelshop.co.uk/ptmod/default.asp

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'

Expected statement

webmeister,
Weird but it sounds like an old version of the VB interpreter or even ASP is installed on the server as it doesn't seem to support 'with'

David, couple of questions please:

1. How would you increase the font size of the title in the centre display portion so that it is more prominent.

2. Hidden content? Is there a way of hiding some of the content in the display categories on left/right borders and allow one to show that hidden content by way of a url in inc_header eg //portal.asp?ContentID=8&CategoryID=10

A suggestion: How about Nav buttons down in the footer of the centre content page near Author/Posted allowing you to move to the next content page in that Category or back to the previous content page in that Category.

Also, if you can make the font size smaller for Author/Posted information.

Cheers, David. Bugger. As opposed to debugger. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if we are running the old versions here. I better check with the web host what the precise versions are.

Another couple of questions/suggestions David

... any way to make the entire portal section resize with the browser?

... any way to set the display order for the content?

Fantastic mod BTW.

David,

We are running Chilisoft ASP 3.23.46. I'm no expert, but given that some people are probably running ASP.NET, we must be using a prehistoric version of ASP.

I did some playing with "portal.asp" and got it to work on my Linux ChilliSoft Portal by making the following changes:

Line 54
I replaced this

'dim lContentID, lCategoryID, sMode, sSearchTerm
'with Request
'lContentID = CInt(.QueryString("ContentID"))
'lCategoryID = CInt(.QueryString("CategoryID"))
'sMode = .QueryString("Mode")
'sSearchTerm = Trim(.Form("txtSearch"))
'end with


With this

dim ContentID, CategoryID, sMode, sSearchTerm

ContentID = Request.QueryString("ContentID")
CategoryID = Request.QueryString("CategoryID")
sMode = Request.QueryString("Mode")
sSearchTerm = Trim(Request.Form("txtSearch"))


Line 170
I replaced this

'With rsContList
'    .CursorLocation = adUseClient
'    .Open strSql, my_Conn
'End With		


With this

CursorLocation = adUseClient
rsContList.Open strSql, my_Conn


It now works fine! - apart from the above, I deleted every instance of the "|" from in front of ContentID and CategoryID

Now works like a dream! I have it on my testing site at the moment (www.toby.net.au) and will soon go to my other sites!

Thanks for the mod - great work!!!

Cheers for that, i'll make the changes to the zip later today

StephenD,
The display order is by latest item first, you can change the Sql statement to order how you like, let me know if you need help with it

Hi, david
I have questions for you, have you seen the low bandwith mod on snitz forum?
it seems that the low bandwith mode is little bit faster then the normal mode. Its achived by eliminating the spaces in the code and applying fonts tags to css file. Is this mod can be apply to the low bandwith mode?
Are the known fixed bugs up to date apply to the mode?

thanks for great job, i'll wait to download the latest zip since i want to test it on Chili!Soft for apache on windows.
