Darth-Apple
Well I do have some good news, albeit a little bit technical. But I did manage to uncorrupt the database so that it will allow us to have more than one theme. The good news is that I will no longer have to do design updates on the live site. For quite some time MS has received no refresh due to some of these issues, so i'm glad that things will be a little easier going forward.
22 Mar 03:17
avatar
Darth-Apple
That may very well end up being what we do. I'm actually pretty sure you can do a MyBB -> MyBB import too. I might try that to get the posts and the users, and all of that, and just redo the setup of the actual forum itself.
18 Mar 04:50
avatar
Guardian
If the update makes changes to the database, circumvent would be upgrading separately, then importing.
16 Mar 17:19
avatar
Guardian
Ouch. You try a whole new fresh install of MyBB, then export/import this database?
16 Mar 17:19
avatar
SpookyZalost
ooh, that really sucks Sad
16 Mar 03:08
avatar
Darth-Apple
We've been running on the same installation of MyBB, and actually the exact same theme, plugins, and codebase, since 2014 or 2015. Besides routine security updates, our codebase literally hasn't changed. i think it was one of the minor 1.8.x updates that screwed up the table in our database.
16 Mar 01:54
avatar
Darth-Apple
We have no such installation here, but we do have a development installation on an actual VPS somewhere, where most of our actual development occurs. The problem I'm running into is that I literally cannot import new themes because our database is corrupt, so even if i develop an update, i cannot make it live unless I want to edit our actual live installation.
16 Mar 01:50
avatar
SpookyZalost
@hans: have you tried running a backup test server in a vm to test themes and such? Thats how i tested stuff for my bbs Before implementing it. Sort of like a local live you can mess with, without consequences.
15 Mar 04:44
avatar
Guardian
I wouldn't object to taking a look at least. Never make promises though.
12 Mar 22:30
avatar
Darth-Apple
@Guardian: Hmm I might send you a shout out at some point then and see if we can get this theme issue figured out. I haven't been able to work on anything without updating the live site because only one theme actually works on our installation, so that's been a little frustrating from time to time.
11 Mar 02:27

Darth-Apple
Anyone here still sharp on MyBB technical stuff? We've managed to somehow corrupt our themes table and I haven't been able to create a new one to work on a couple of (*minor*) updates to get us a little more up-to-date. I'll look at it in more detail one of these days, but if I can avoid writing a script to uncorrupt it and anyone has more knowledge than I do, shoot me a PM!

13 Aug 22:13

yeah i got a job at a warehouse but i quit before i even started. You might say beggars can't be choosers, but this job was god awful. I could just tell it was going to be a nightmare going in. I'm gonna be picking up some hours at an old job of mine in the meantime while I'm searching so I'll still have income coming in.
13 Aug 22:13

Hans, thanks for the update man.. and keep us posted on the job hunting !

Well guys, I'm here in Wilmington. Still gotta find a job but all is good. Big Grin
13 Aug 15:38

Darth-Apple
We can host it here if that's what's convenient. Long as we aren't hosting something CPU intensive it shouldn't be an issue.
11 Aug 03:44
avatar
Guardian
I'd be fine with either. Maybe another use for Makestation... project hosting?
11 Aug 00:02
avatar
SpookyZalost
or better yet how about a ZIp file, just extract it and open the HTML file to view?
10 Aug 11:11
avatar
SpookyZalost
if I had somewhere to host it I could upload the entire folder and setup the HTML as a home page, then you guys could get a google maps style viewer with maybe weekly/bi-weekly updates?
10 Aug 11:10

Guardian
It looks fantastic!

Among a few other small things to bring us up to the times a little more. Brian had a few good suggestions that i know of, which were posted on the forums as well the other day
24 Jun 09:13
avatar
Darth-Apple
I'm planning to refresh a few things around here a little bit fairly soon though. Nothing crazy. I feel like our design as we have it now works pretty well, but what do you guys think about the idea of using a somewhat brighter shade of blue for the forums?
24 Jun 09:13
avatar
Darth-Apple
Yeah it's at the bottom of the page too. It actually took me a little while to get it set up. This plugin works well but it's a pain in teh ass to install
24 Jun 09:12

I somehow overlooked it until I read the post.... so I guess it worked. Tongue

the chatbox on SM? Or the chat room we have here?
22 Jun 20:57

also, if setup right it'll be better than the chatbox Tongue mostly because it'll be integrated into the site, not a separate page.
