[Dev] Release of Updated Feathercoin (FTC) Forum - Software and set-up
-
That’s the point Lizhi, open source baby we have the code anything can be looked into.
And that is high on my list :D
-
Only 1 issue remain now… how to support our Russian and Chinese friends in the languages section of the forum… O0
What’s the problem with us?
-
There is no problem as such… just when the import process takes place all of the characters for Chinese and Russian are dumped into the database as ???
I have managed to fix the problem from freshly created posts on the test forum, but there is little I can do with the content that is already there, but I think I may have a work around for that, that will bring back the historic posts within a few days of us going live with the new software :)
Still don’t have a date for the switch yet I’m afraid folks :(
-
Cheers for the work UM, don’t be worried or sorry about doing it right once…
-
Set names utf8; first command when connection is set up. Also text, varchar, … fields need to be utf8-general-ci…
-
We are almost there :)
I just have to make a couple more changes to the setup and we should be ready for the last data migration… I’m trying to round up a few folks to assist in making changes to some of the existing posts that we can’t “fix” during the migration and hopefully we can do a migration within the next 7 - 10 days

I’m here.

Unfortunately I’m occupied for the next two week by my sailing vacation :)

Right guys and gals…
We have a cut over date for the new forum!!! yep you heard it right we will be cutting over to the new software on Thursday 23rd July 2015! we will be taking the forum off-line at around 17:00 GMT to perform the switch over and hope to have things all back up and running by 22:00. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in order to get things switched over due to the change in database model required and we know there are going to be a few issues but with your help they can all be fixed quite quickly. So wish us luck and we look forward to seeing you on the other side.

SWEEET. NICE Work. Especially the up/down kharma thing.

As you can see we have now moved over to the new software and early signs are looking good…
There are a lot of new/different features so if there is something you think is missing or don’t understand then shout up and we will do what we can to help you out

Nice work, noticed a couple of links missing. We need a Github to report issues / backup the forum template now we are open source that can be public.
-
Good point wrapper… I’ll add it to my list of things to do… I’m away from tomorrow till Thursday and will have limited access to things but @MrWyrm can help you out with layout and software issues and I’ll speak with @Wellenreiter so he has all the required details for server side elements
