Hello,

I just installed SMF 1.11, then I installed the latest ezPortal, then SMF Articles. I created two articles, then I created a center block and chose the only option that seemed article-related (SMF Articles ezBlock), but the articles do not get displayed. Instead, I just see an index of the articles I created. Something like this:

I'd like the articles to be displayed, right under my top HTML center ezBlock, much like what I see on the ezPortal site frontpage. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Currently the articles block just shows the article title and not the full article yet which is something we may add in the future.

I know this topic is a couple of weeks old, but after a bit of digging I found the solution as I wanted this functionality for my site also.

load up 'Sources/Subs-EzPortalMain2.php' into a text editor.

Find this block of code in the file - 'function EzBlockSMFArticlesEzBlock'

on line 1322 add these 2 lines

echo $row['description'].'<br />';
echo '<a href="' , $scripturl , '?action=articles;sa=view;article=', $row['ID_ARTICLE'], '">More...</a><br />';

The summary entered above the main article is then displayed in the EzBlock, with a More... link underneath to take you directly to the article.

For me this works on EzPortal 0.4.3 and Articles 1.3.2.

This is SMF2 RC4, not sure how similar it is on SMF 1.11.

Now ... back to that css file to sort the formatting out.
