GreenWolf13 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Greenwolf how did you setup your #magecraft irc? Well for one, I don't use #MageCraft anymore, I switched networks to SynIRC and now use #GreenWolf13sMods I don't know how different the SynIRC process is from the Esper one, and I don't really care to find out,
GreenWolf13 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Who set up your irc channel? On esper? I did, I just din't remember what I did. I also set up my channel on SynIRC.
andrewdonshik Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 I accidentally deleted/sharma deleted a few forum accounts. Once we get the spam issue sorted, you'll be able to reregister. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ysharma Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Who are you talking too? And Andrew I'm planning on shifting the forum software from mybb to phpbb
andrewdonshik Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Who are you talking too? And Andrew I'm planning on shifting the forum software from mybb to phpbb General announcement. And go ahead.
GreenWolf13 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 If you switch to phpbb, I can give you a few tips that might help reduce spam.
Ysharma Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Forums going down right.... now If you switch to phpbb, I can give you a few tips that might help reduce spam. I have that covered, thats why I'm switching
Lethosos Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Mmm, myPHP. I have a little experience with messing with the guts of it, but didn't get far.
andrewdonshik Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 By the way, I'm not on a break of sorts. My vacations don't tend to coincide with breaks.
Ysharma Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Forums down, switching software. Not sure how much of it will survive
Ysharma Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 No one attempt to access the forums, Im uploading tons of files and modifying them, so if you try to access the forums the install may bosch up
andrewdonshik Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 No one attempt to access the forums, Im uploading tons of files and modifying them, so if you try to access the forums the install may bosch up Tell that to the spam bots .
Ysharma Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 First step is pretty much done, waiting on Mercalyn for some info for step 2. until then the main forums will give you a 404 error. If you need to use the old version, (i will lock it once i begin conversion) use this link: http://tekkit.artisansrepublic.com/Mybbarchive/ Screw it, you guys will have to wait. Just fyi server uptime is about to fall to 50%
Lethosos Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 What I would have done is install it in a different directory, then repoint the forums at that directory. Very little loss of uptime.
Ysharma Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Thats pretty much what I did. Unfortuanatly conversion only moved over users, however it totally destroyed the forums and threads, not to mention that it trashed the old forums.
andrewdonshik Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Can you tell me the igns worth whitelisting?
Ysharma Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Which igns? Update: The forums actually moved over all the sections and posts. They are just invisible. Me and mercalyn are working on it Update: Yeah the permissions need fixing. Im gonna let Mercalyn fix the actual forum design, then Ill patch spam bots. Locking down registration for now Already loving this new software, the ACP is soo much more powerful @andrew Im looking into setting up solder on our subdomain on artisans, that should make updating much quicker EDIT: Most permissions are fixed, all the forums and threads are viewable, but I still have to fix the permissions for the companies personal areas. We still need to fix our plugins and enable anti-spam, but for now we should be done. Mercalyn is working on fixing the forum graphics. Cheers!
andrewdonshik Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 I don't seem to have access to the admin cp. only the mod cp.. Can you fix that?
Ysharma Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Very bottom of the screen. center. You are ranked site admin, and all permissions were dragged over from the old forums so it should be there.
andrewdonshik Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Ah. Whoops, sorry. Seems like mybb and phpbb are very compatible. ... Apparently we're going to need to update php in the near future.
