Jeru Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 This isn't showing up on the 0 A.D. homepage at the moment. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k776 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yes, it uses the old database, which is no longer linked to this forum. The web team need to point the site at the new database. It could be a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur_D Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Can we have back the old theme somehow? It was way less informal and IMHO easier to understand as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k776 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Eventually, yes. It was more important to upgrade, than not to because of a theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstempi Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 <br />This isn't showing up on the 0 A.D. homepage at the moment. =\We're currently running 2 different installations: the old one and the new one. The "old one" runs the website. It can be located at /sitemanagementforum. Please note that the two installations are completely separate. They share no files, no databases, etc. If you change your password on the current forum installation, you'll still have to use your old password to update the sitemanagementforum.

bstempi Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 When trying to login I get redirected to <a href='http://wildfiregames.com/forum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://wildfiregames.com/forum</a>Yeah, there are a few things that have to be changed in order for it to work correctly. If the website absolutely needs to be updated before Tuesday, you can log into the admin panel (/sitemanagementforum/admin.php) and edit the site URL so that it says wildfiregames.com/sitemanagementforum instead of wildfiregames.com/forum.

Jeru Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The admin login form doesn't work anymore... Even though you fill out the form on /sitemanagementforum/admin.php, when clicking "login" it redirects to /forum/admin.php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeru Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 The Fast Reply form is extremely buggy. Leave it out of focus and then click in the text area again and everything inside the text area disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k776 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yes, I noticed that too. I think some JS files might be missing from the installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmahal Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The news RSS feed on the homepage seems to be broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The news RSS feed on the homepage seems to be broken.Ah yeah, it was broken in the forum upgrade. I'm currently working on fixing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Ah yeah, it was broken in the forum upgrade. I'm currently working on fixing it.Or scratch that Brian, could you please take care of this? As far as I can tell the feed needs the forum to be turned online again, but then people would be able to register etc, and that wouldn't be a good thing (I know the chance isn't too big since this is the main forum, but still, if there's a better way. I'm almost starting to think it would be nicer/easier to create the feed manually ). We could always use an .htaccess file or something to hide the forum from most people, but as far as I can tell that would hide it (and thus the feed) from feedburner as well EDIT: While looking for a useful option I did change the name of the cookie though, so you shouldn't be logged out when going from this to that forum.

Aldandil Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I do find it nearly impossible to navigate with an unfamiliar skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeru Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Sorry, Alandil, it had to be done at some point... For security reasons (the old IPB was not secure), for money-related reasons (we already bought the license - no point in wasting the money), for spam protection (it started getting really really bad over the last few months) and for website development (it is incredibly hard to redo the website and attract new developers and fans when it is essentially a hand-coded hijacked form of the forum system).Took me a few days to get used to it, but it's like getting around in a foreign country, over time you get better at it.

bstempi Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 You'll get used to it Aldandil Any news on fixing the post formating buttons (like Bold, Italic etc.)?I'm currently trying to find a solution on my test server. This seems to be a pretty out-of-the-ordinary issue that we're having. I thought maybe that I missed some JavaScript when uploading the new forum files, but my diffs appear to be clean. I think we're having a larger issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
