I'm Tired Of This. Help Me Test Phorum Replacement.

[Jaime]

It seems to be working?

[Jaime]

I don't see a difference

[AccountDeleted]

It's much faster but it's not visually attractive and seems to be missing a few features like status update and About Me in the profile. I added an Avatar but it didn't seem to appear anywhere.

 

We'll get use to it if we have to but I prefer this look here.

[FutureCarmeliteClaire]

I like it. Seems fresh and I like the possible features.

[AnneLine]

I would think that right now it is a shell version... dUSt will undoubtedly tweek it to get us what we want.... 

 

Are there any particular things you want us to test and give feedback on, dUSt????  Anything you want us to be sure IS working at this point?

[BigJon16]

I like it. 

 

[penguin31]

It'll take some getting used to, and needs a bit of polish.  And please, ditch the ginormous floating sidebar on the right.  That said, if it improves server performance and decreases headaches for you, fantastic.

[Apotheoun]

OK, I think people are getting confused because they think the current phorum is somehow related to the new forum.

 

Right now, they are completely separate and have nothing to do with each other. If you register on the new forum it will only be a temporary test account and will be deleted if we ever migrate our current memebers/posts to the new system.

 

Hope this helps?

That's good to know. I was wondering what it meant when it asks for a "username" and a "name" and says that both are required. I just want my regular Apotheoun username.

[Apotheoun]

Also, what is the huge "SHARE" button about, and can a person make it go away?

[FutureCarmeliteClaire]

Don't like.

 

[ardillacid]

no

[Lilllabettt]

I don't want to. why is life so hard.

If we switch, this is a detailed breakdown of what would happen to our current members and posts:

 

Forums

• Forum ‘Categories’ are imported as a ‘Forum’ – You must manually configure the forum types for ‘category’ forum type after the import and recounts have finished.
• Forum visibility such as moderator or admin only forums will be publicly visible after importing and you need to secure these manually.
• ‘Link Forums’ will be imported as a standard forum without any URL redirect link.
• ‘Locked Forums’ will be imported as like a normal open forum, again you can close/lock these via the forums panel in wp-admin and setting the forum attributes status to closed.

↑ Table of Contents ↑

Topics & Replies

• Announcement and Sticky topics ‘topic status’ are not set during import, manually ‘stick’ any topics after import and recounts are complete. (See trac ticket #2126)
• Custom BBCodes are not supported eg. [youtube] – You will have to manually change these yourself either before importing in Invision/IPB or after importing into bbPress using phpMyAdmin.
• BBCodes not converted: [post='123']abc[/post] & [topic='456']def[/topic]
• Smilies are rendered as images if contained in ‘code’ tags eg. <code>:)</code>
• Smilies NOT converted::huh:, :wacko:, ^_^, :wub:, -_-, <_ < & :ph34r:
• No file attachments are imported.
• All ‘Ordered Lists’ <ol> will be displayed as numerical lists.
• You may find extra page breaks <br> and paragraph <p> elements in topics and replies and is less than ideal and is from the way the BBCodes are converted during the forum import conversion. You will find these primarily around ‘blockquotes’ and ‘lists’
• If you are using bbPress â€˜Show Lead Topic’ some of the formatting will be broken, it has been converted correctly and is an issue with the content-single-topic-lead.php template, see trac # (Ticket to follow).
• <span> elements seem to be a hit and miss at the moment, they render sometimes and sometimes not depending on the import. (not very helpful I know, still digging around this issue)
• <img src=”http://example.com/file.jpg> are not currently enabled to be embedded inline in bbPress by default with topics and replies, everything was converted correctly and we just need to throw some switches and push some buttons before the next release of bbPress to make it work, watch this space.

↑ Table of Contents ↑

Users

• Invision does not support user profile support for ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’ only ‘name’ and ‘display_name’ and ‘name’ will be the WordPress Username.
• Existing passwords are converted during the import so users can login to WordPress/bbPress as soon as the import and recounts have finished.
• Invision/IPB Moderators, Groups, Ranks are not imported, any users you wish to make ‘moderators’ or ‘keymasters’ you will have to assign these roles manually via the main WordPress Admin User panel (/wp-admin/users.php).
• User ‘Favourites’, ‘Subscribed Topics’ or ‘Personal Messages (PM’s) are not supported or imported.

Oh, and I think it's ugly, too. But whatevaz. I don't come here for the aesthetics. I come here for the learnin' and the good company. :-)

dUSt, since the PM system will be trashed, can you assist users who wish to back those messages up? The archive option available to us tends to be incredibly buggy and doesn't usually get everything out.
