Forum Portal 0.1.0

Turn one or more forum sections into a proper editorial-style homepage.

Forum Portal lets you use topics from selected forums as content for a news-like portal page, with headline layout, optional images, excerpts, and sidebar blocks.

Current features:

• Portal as homepage
• Support for one or multiple source forums
• Main editorial headline
• Automatic or custom excerpt
• Image from URL, attachment, first image in post, or default image
• Option to disable image even when the topic contains one
• Manual editorial ordering
• Fixed headline
• Sidebar blocks such as Latest Headlines, Most Read, Most Commented, and Announcements/Stickies
• Custom HTML block
• ACL permissions
• Languages: pt_br and en
• No core edits required

The goal is simple: post normally in the forum and let the portal build the homepage automatically.

Feedback, testing and suggestions are welcome.

I use version 1.0.23 and the portal display is different between the first page and the following ones

Frist page: https://demo.caforum.fr/portal
The others: https://demo.caforum.fr/portal?start=8

I'll investigate, maybe it's something related to the left-hand menu.

I understand better now. I believe you're referring to the right-hand sidebar blocks, such as "Derniers gros titres" and "Sujets les plus lus," and not the left-hand menu.

In that case, the problem seems to be related to layout/responsiveness, not pagination.

Based on the described behavior:

* in `/portal`, the blocks appear at the bottom of the page;

* in `/portal?start=8`, the same blocks appear correctly on the right-hand sidebar.

This indicates that, under some condition on the first page, the portal layout is breaking the main grid and pushing the sidebar down. The first page has the featured/hero block, while the paginated page does not. Therefore, it's possible that the hero block, a larger card, image, long title, or a specific CSS rule of the first page is causing the main area to occupy too much width, preventing the sidebar from being displayed alongside it.

In other words, the likely cause is not the content of the sidebar blocks themselves, but the visual structure of the first page.

In the extension package, I would mainly review:
The most likely issue is the structure:
The sidebar only stays on the right if the CSS of `.forumportal-layout` can maintain two columns. If any element on the first page exceeds the available width, the sidebar may drop down.

So, in addition to correcting pagination, it may be necessary to adjust the CSS to ensure that the main area never forces the sidebar down, for example by reinforcing:

On GitHub i see the version 1.2.23, is this version fix this problem?

Minor pagination correction

Try disabling your extension from the left menu to see if it changes anything.

This extension assumes you don't have another extension on the portal.

Same problem. Anyway I desactive this extension

I believe the left menu is pushing the hero image and misaligning the right blocks, because on the other page there is no image and the right block is normal.

What I don’t understand is why it works here and not on my forum.!
I tried with the Prosilver style, same problem. I installed the extension on another forum, same problem.

I don't even know what to say, I tested it on several templates, including paid ones, and they all behave the same way.
Isn't it a browser cache problem?
