If you find any issues with teh new forum please post here and i'll check it out
- ie. your username/password doesnt work any more
- cant login
- can't register

etc..

Cheers

Did that script work without issue ?

-D-

99% perfect - thanks again for the migration script!!

issues:
- user details - personal names didnt come through - think all set to UseBB user as first name
- discussions started stats for each user didnt come through - but thats doesn't matter to much

thanks again
- the important things all worked!!
-- all old posts, discussions, and categories came though
-- usernames and passwords migrated perfect!!

Now ive just got to finalise the theme, extensions and a few other things

Cheers

got some issues with the Notify extension that i need to fix aswell

doestn seem to like the servage smtp server


A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred
Technical information (for support personel):

Error Message
Unable to send email. The SMTP server reported the following error:
Affected Elements
Email.ServerParse();

The error occurred on or near: 421 smtp1.servage.net Error: too many recipients from 77.232.68.30

For additional support documentation, visit the Lussumo Documentation website at: lussumo.com/docs


Good deal. I will actually look at the script again and see if it can't be improved and include the first and last name. Glad it worked and the new forum looks good. The last time I posted an error was generated though. If it happens this time I will post it for ya.

-D-

Looks like you did something the error did not occur on my last post 8)

-D-

removed the Notify extension - so posts dont error now

gotta sort that issue out

Cheers

Justin

I wonder if somehow the server is not listening on port 25. Can you telnet to the server on port 25 and get a response?

-D-

it does send emails - just the user gets the error listed in : http://simpleinvoices.org/forum/discussion/542/new-forum/#Item_5

will ask servage if they know anything about it

else i'll post on the vanilla forums

cheers

I had auto subscribe on

- i thought that this would auto subscribe your to your posts - but it auto subscribes everyone to all posts (which is retarded)
- refer: http://lussumo.com/community/?CommentID=70078

I've turned that off now - and enabled Notify again - so should be all happy

- you'll now see a subscribe section on the left menu of a discussion

Cheers

Justin

Yeah that could end up making some people unhappy notifying everyone. The subscribe is working. Good work on the forums :-)

-D-

thanks

just got to finish the theme and rss on front page issue and it'll be all done

cheers

like the clean look, but unifying the theme/header would be a bigger step forward.

Not to understate your efforts, but a coherent look across the website/wiki/blog and forum would greatly improve the project. I know it's a done discussion, and you've decided on a specific system for each (e.g. Vanilla forum, dokuwiki site, wordpress(?) blog) so I won't advocate an all-in-one (Drupal? Typolight?) here, but a common header would be great.

agreed Kai

been thinking about that today - will most likely mod this forum theme or the default vanilla theme to be inline with the header from simpleinvoices.org

by the way - the blog is drupal and i've been meaning to update its theme
- also dokuwiki is able to power blogs - might have a play around with its blogging abilities to see if ti can do what we need
-- just need to install the blog extension

Cheers

Justin

Hey Kai,

the header for this forum theme is now complete and consistent with simpleinvoices.org theme

its not Web2.0 style - but more importantly
- its
-- simple
-- clean
-- and puts the focus on content rather than flashy high-gloss design

next update - blog renovations

Cheers

Justin
