What was done before the problem appeared?
I added the mod "itemstats" which is a world of warcraft based mod. It is located here: http://itemstats.free.fr/news.php


What was done to try to solve the problem?
Read the forums, played with portal.php



De.scription and Message

So I added the above mod to my forums. I got it to work with integra by playing with a few files, but now my portal.php comes up blank. I am assumign this means I have to somehow tell portal.php that I have installed this mod. Basically, it just does two things: 1. adds a folder called itemstats and 2. changes a few things in includes/bbcode.php and includes/page_header.php.

My question is what do I have to do to make portal.php recognize these changes as well?

you dont need to hard code anything into the portal page. Instead you would add it to a block from the acp
acp/IMPortal/blocks management/your portal page/add blocks

there is more detailed info available here

Ok, Im not sure how using the block configuration would help me here. What my mod does is simple, it adds in a new type of bbcode, which is <item>ITEMHERE</item> (using brackets of course) and then it takes the text I bracketed and when you hover over it, a tooltip appears which gives values of the item from a database.
I modified things so that it works w/ the regular forum, but the portal page shows up as all white. You are saying I should do something with block configuration, but how will this make it so that my portal no longer shows as white? Can this be done through adding a new block? Or maybe block variables?

this mod should not affect the portal page. What files did you have to edit to install this mod?

[jbl7979]

includes/page_header.php
and
includes/bbcode.php

Im also discussing it with Whisky on his site's thread in the examples section. He is currently using htis mod succesfully, and seems to have done the same thing I did, so im not sure why it broke my portal. Maybe ill just try to reinstall the base files and try again when I get home.

*edit* I just checked your site. Your not running phpbb/IMPortal, your running IntegraMOD 141. Since 141 uses advanced BBcode mod, any edits to bbcode.php can be tricky, so you may want to double check them also
