ryan Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what's going on this week (in order of occurrence): New Forums The forums software is moving from SMF to IP.Board. SMF has been very good to us, but with ProcessWire growing quickly we figured it would be a good time to take the forums to the next level. IP.Board will give us a lot more capabilities than we currently have, while maintaining the same ease of use. I looked at a test version setup by Pete, and I think you guys are going to love it. All of your existing login info will stay the same and all the posts will carry over, etc. It's possible you may lose your profile pic, in which case you'll need to replace it. This change might take place as soon as today, but we haven't decided for sure yet. Let me know if you run into any bugs or issues with the new system once we're up and running. Going live with ProcessWire 2.2 I'm going to be merging the ProcessWire 2.2 source into the stable branch (P21 master) this week. The optional LanguageSupport modules that come with it will still be considered beta. If you are tracking the source with Git, then the PW 2.2 update will come in automatically. If you are downloading the ZIP, then you'll just need to replace your existing /wire/ directory and /index.php file in order to apply the update. PW 2.2 now includes a "page-create" permission on the Templates > Edit Template > Access tab. If you are making use of any non-superuser roles that are able to edit pages, you will need to check the box on any relevant templates to add page-create permission for them. To word it differently, ProcessWire now wants you to tell it which templates a given role is allowed to use when creating a new page. If you don't do anything, than any non-superuser roles that can currently create pages won't be able to until you give them that page-create permission on at least one template. Please let me know if I can provide any more detail here, and I'm happy to assist anyone individually with this too. We won't put out a press release or officially announce ProcessWire 2.2 until the LanguageSupport modules are out of beta and we have some other promotional materials ready. But I don't see any reason to delay making PW 2.2 the stable branch in the source code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you run into any bugs or issues with the new system once we're up and running. It's up! I was worried to lose my sleep tonight Thanks for putting this up Pete and Ryan! Looks and feels great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formmailer Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It looks great guys! I think I am going to spend more time here. /Jasper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks to Pete for all his great work in getting this converted and setup! As you can see, most avatars didn't convert over. Since IP.Board makes pretty heavy use of them, please update your profiles when you get a chance (I see you guys above already did). If you need to grab your old avatar pic from SMF, it's still up at running for a few days at http://processwire.com/talk_old/ We'll work out any more details over the coming days (stylesheet tweaks, etc). Let me know if you come across any errors. We had one issue with a corrupted file that we had to replace, so it's possible there are more. But hopefully not. I'm excited to learn all the features of this new forum! Hope that you all like it too. Thanks again to Pete for making this possible! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeisa Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It let's people use Gravatar for avatars, which is nice. I didn't need to upload any images. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formmailer Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Would it be possible to have a mobile version of the forums? I love to read the forums using my smartphone, but replying isn't always easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Knoll Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well it looks a lot different. But nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Knoll Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 And I like the new reply function! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Would it be possible to have a mobile version of the forums? I love to read the forums using my smartphone, but replying isn't always easy. There is already a mobile theme if you check it out on your phone. I think there's also an app that links into this software to make the mobile experience slightly faster, but I might need ot alter some settings before we look at that. I've already got a list of style issues and hope to squash them by this time tomorrow, so if you spot any more after then that look really odd then please do let me know. EDIT: I've just fallen in love with the quote feature - try clicking quote on a few posts and watch it do all the hard work in the reply box. I've used this software before, just not updated the other site I use it on to this version so a lot of this is new to me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formmailer Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks Pete, I missed the mobile version since it didn't load by default on my phone. /Jasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Knoll Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 How can Pete have zero posts (the counter under his picture)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well spotted - there's another setting I need to change that I forgot about. Don't worry though, whilst your post counts won't increase til I sort it there is a recount button so it'll be showing correctly sometime tomorrow.

Soma Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Whoohoooooo! This is great! Great done Pete and Ryan! Only thing I recommend would be to turn off some formating in the RT. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statestreet Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Whoohoooooo! This is great! Great done Pete and Ryan! Only thing I recommend would be to turn off some formating in the RT. No? Yeah, I think a nice set of h1-h5, p, ul, ol, strong, and em would be good for the future. In other words, what you get with TinyMCE in ProcessWire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeisa Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 On frontpage of the forum there is "Recent topics". I don't like that and it doesn't stay away even if I click it away. Does others use it? I found it confusing since it does show the topic starter photo - not the latest who replied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Walker Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Pete, Bravo on the new forums! It looks just as good on my iPhone. Regards Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it confusing since it does show the topic starter photo - not the latest who replied. That must be a bug in the skin I think (not one I've made ). I could fix it probably. I would have thought the option to hide it was controlled by a cookie but obviously not... Pete, Bravo on the new forums! It looks just as good on my iPhone. Regards Marty No worries. I used to keep switching to the full skin on my iPhone, but I'm getting quite used to the mobile skin as it's a lot faster on a limited connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There's actually two x button there when you hover over recent topics box. The overlaying blackish one will hide the sidebar forever. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeisa Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If everyone wants to hide that, then it would be better gone forever! :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
