Forum Move and Upgrade to 3.6.0

[Sendero]

Well, I would like to say this all went smoothly but that would be a stretch. As far as the database, PM's, and User information it went a smoothly as possible. It went wrong when all of our "custom" mods weren't transferred over. I ended up having to re-permission all users to their previous status along with some other unique modifications. As you'll notice the portal page is back along with some of our other helpful changes. Here are some things that I wanted to add back, but it will take a little more time/planning:

Timeslip Database: It is supported in 3.5.4, but not in 3.6.0. I decided to try it anyway and it ended up corrupting the database. So, I had to reimport the database and start from the beginning. To cut to the chase, I tried but we are going to have to wait until someone ports the code to the new 3.6.0 dataset.

vBGarage: It's barely supported in 3.5.4 much less 3.6.0. With my catastrophe trying to load the Timeslip Database, I skipped this one and I'll wait until someone decides to support this. I'm looking another mod that will allow us to host pictures, but you won't have the "Garage".

EEC Downloads: I've found a mod called DownloadsII which will probably serve our purposes to replace the unsupported EEC Downloads mod. But it has some problems with 3.6.0 (since it is a new release) so I'm going to load it on my development forum and play with it before we install it here.

If you have any questions, comments, or need help with anything please let me know in this thread. Welcome back!

Nice work!!!

I'm getting a permission denied message when trying to access the main page (www.streetstangs.net). You probably haven't gotten the permissions completely ironed out yet but figured I'd mention it. Also, can you edit the navbar template or add a link on the portal for the forums?

I edited the permissions on the CMPS to "allow all", let me know if this doesn't fix it. I also added the link to the navbar, but 3.6.0 uses session data in the breadcrumb menu now so if clicking on this link starts logging people out randomly I'll have to rethink this approach.

"Attachments" is back :banana:
So is the automatic coding of links! :banana:

[Italian LX]

. . . but everyone's avatars look funny. :(

[1sicklx]

:eek:

Yeah, that's what I said.

:baby: reload the image and it'll look right :nice:

[1sicklx]

Just a thought, but have you considered adding a member gallery? imo it would make up for the loss of the garage and give us somewhere to show off our cars.

[Sendero]

Yeah, one of the side effect of the import was usergroup changes. It jumbled up all the users and groups which threw a lot of people in a group with "small" avatar permissions. So the board tried to resize the Avatars to fit but didn't do it in reverse.

[Dale McPeters]

Thanks Sendero for getting everything done...
Also thanks to Lee F. and......

Kind of missed lurking!!! :jester:

[ncontt]

is there a way to "mark topics as read"????? 1/2 the topics are saying they are new yet I read them before the switch....sorry for being "ANAL" lol....it just bugs me

Brad

[ncontt]

disregard my post....lol. I saw the button at the VERY bottom of the main page...thanks and have a great day.

:)

[Sendero]

One thing about "new posts", I changed a setting so that all posts remain active until you read them. Before posts would "timeout" after a day or so, but now the will remain unread as long as you don't read them.

[qkjuicedpony]

i have someone elses pm's in my inbox instead of my own........

Judging by your Avatar, I think I know who...

Forward me everything in his Inbox and delete all of them please. I'll send you a test PM to make sure it is routing correctly.

I wonder where that user went too. :jester:

[qkjuicedpony]

they are all old anyways so i will delete all of them....they date back to july of 05 i think.

[qkjuicedpony]

i got the pm you sent but had no way to reply to it

[Italian LX]

Judging by your Avatar, I think I know who...
Yeah, I was wondering why your dad's car was in Brian's avatar. :huh:

[Shorty]

[Sendero]

Does it give you a error message? If so, what is it?

[CrazyInBlack]

There is only one skin at the moment. Are you looking for something lighter?

[Sendero]

Try the animated avatars now. But, if they get out of hand or start up with that stupid badger shit, I'm locking it down.

:admin: :jester:

[CrazyInBlack]

I just noticed that you can't change your birthdate on this version.

I'd like to be 23. My profile says I'm 74. :D

[Sendero]

Huh, that's odd. Maybe it's just a setting, I'll look.
