This Site is 1.4.1 Now???

[Fubie]

This forum is not running on any beta or RC versions.

[Okki]

Well Fubie, you should read this http://integramod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15896#15896

[Fubie]

Yes Okki, This forum has been updated to the latest 141 version. Which is not beta or RC, it is Final.

[Okki]

I think Okki is asking why are we using this site which is supposed to be a non test site for running rc versions of IM141 and not using a test site somewhere else, but I could be wrong.

Yes, you are right, wekke did the same thing, nothing learned from that <img>

[Fubie]

Yes, you are right, wekke did the same thing, nothing learned from that <img>

[Michaelo]

One think we have over other dev sites is a great beta test team... this is why we are at RC1 and not another beat...

Okki there is no comparison to what happened at the old site, none whatsoever so don't attempt to go down that road.

At the old IntegraMod siteà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ Wekke has produce a fine looking portal but it is not IntegraMod at least not as we know it. The new portal is built around phpBB 2.1.x, CH and IM Portalà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ It contains very few (if any) of the mods previously incorporated into IntegraMod and one or two template...

I have no doubt Wekke will over time produce a nice product and I wish him luck with it.

Just a couple of points re phpBB3 and Categories Hierarchy....

Incorporating CH into phpBB3 is entirely unnecessary, and might be considered a step backwards... Most of the more useful facilities embedded into Categories Hierarchies already exist in the phpBB3 core...

Our next release (what ever we call it) is built using phpBB3 core and the Kiss Portal. If you want to see how far we have advanced with this project see my sig for a link to my current test site. We will advise of the new dev site soon and all are welcome to post comments and add wish-lists etcà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

Michaelo, ref the new core and Kiss is there expected to be an upgrade from this platform?

[Helter]

Michaelo, ref the new core and Kiss is there expected to be an upgrade from this platform?

yes there will be an upgrade. Since this new version will be a radical departure from our present package, it is not known yet what will be involved, but we learned our lesson with the 140 release, and will always try to release an upgrade at the same time as we release a new version. This is the only reason that 141 is not officially released at this time.

Just a little info re phpBB3/KisMod and upgrading...

If you were running a default phpBB 2.1.x with no mods (including CH) installed you can expect your site to be 100% upgradeableà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ Now in the real world this would accounts for 10% or less of site out thereà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ Many site administrators will be capable of importing other data but this will vary. The facts are the more mods installed the less likely all data will be retainedà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ As Helter said, this is a radical departureà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ not just from phpBB 2.1.x but also IntegraMod 1 or 2à¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ phpBB3 has so many pluses that staying with the phpBB2 is not an option at least not in the long termà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

It is expected that 90% of site running phpBB2 and some type of portal/cms will start a new site based on phpBB3 and import only the basic data such as users and post.

With time other mods will be updated thereby allowing additional data importsà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ Our aim is to add all your favourite mods even if we have to re-write them and provide a script to import the original data wherever possible. It would not be humanly possible to produce an update script at least not until all mod are updated and even then I dont expect all current mods to be included in RC1.

At the end of the KisMod development stage we will provide an update script to allow importing of every piece of data possible ...

That is good news indeed, if we can get the users and the posts over the rest I guess we can work through!

As a matter of interest what do you see as the great benefits from PhpBBS 3.x?

[Michaelo]

Without listing all the improvements and just generalising.. Speed, improved cache system, incorporation of user variables (kinda PCP), single template for ACP (greatly reduced work for template designers), the <INCLUDE> directive (major flexibility), advanced user control panel, more powerful and flexible permission system, unlimited sub-forums, inclusion of what were common mod as part of the core

To be honest I can't remember all of them as I keep finding more every day... check this link [url=http]Here![/url]

Right, looks like it will be completely awesome, but I assume as it wil take a while to come to fruition that we'll lose the massive amount of Mods that we have come to love...
