Integramod2 now KisMod!

[Driver 7]

Damn man. I switch forum software and everything goes crazy over here. I just want to say kis sounds cool. I am use to the name by know from visiting Michaelo's other site.

However: As winner of the last logo contest. Being that I am going to be stipped of my prize. Can I request another logo contest. <img>

Doing it again would be a blast.

Some confusion re KisMod must be cleared up at this point... KisMod is the code name for the next release of IntegraMod powered by phpBB3 and the Kiss Portal...

Whoa.. Clear up confusion? You just confused me even more! I thought KisMod was the name for 1.4.1 release powered by phpBB2? I think I missed something...

[Drop-Forged]

Yes this whole thing has completely confused allot of usà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦


What ever happened to keeping things simple... <img>

1. The update we are waiting for is going to be called Integramod version 141 even though this site is KisMod and Wekke has nothing to do with the upgrade.

...Ok if Im correct, I think I got that, but what is E-tegra then???

I think what Michaelo was trying to say is that this site changed name to be prepared for the future version AFTER the release of 1.4.1.
There is still discussion going on about the name of 1.4.1.
For less confusion it would be better to name it something more like Integra instead of KIS.
Therefore Michaelo thinks E-tegra makes a good chance...

KISS PORTAL is a future version where Michaelo is still working on...
KisMod is the codename for that project...
It has nothing to do with IntegraMOD, because it is based on phpbb3 (not on phpbb2 like IntegraMOD) and therefore it will go under a completely different name.
pphpbb3 is so much different than phpbb2, it can't be compared...
KISS PORTAL will only look like IntegraMOD by it's possibilities, but with a completely different code it will not work by the same methods...

The original idea was to name the new 1.4.1 KisMOD to prepare the road for KISSPORTAL...
But that could cause confusion, because 1.4.1 has nothing to do with phpbb3 nor the KIS PORTAL project...
1.4.1 is still Integra, and might still need a name according to that...

Even with the sitename changed, 1.4.1. can still be released with an Integramod-like name,
the sitename would then only be a step ahead in time for the future after the 1.4.1. version...

2. Version 141 is going to be the last version of this really great portal system, because you guys going to start KisMod that will be phpBB3 based and Wekke, well I havent figured out where his new portal system is going yet.

Wekke's own new portal was still based on phpbb2, but with the newest CH version it can not even be compared with phpbb anymore...
He even has to create his own MOD's because phpbb mod's won't be compatible with his version anymore...
He must be very talented, it needs skill to be able to do so...
There are no compatible MOD's for users to add by themselves available for his version...
I would not even call it integramod, because most needs to be built for it instead of integrated...
I would rather call it BuildMOD. [/quote]
There will be confusion untill a decision has been made...
And even more confusion when a decision needs reconsideration...
Only a new decision can clear things up... <img>

Stability!

Just as I thought a bunch of answers & concerns were addressed and I could sit back and wait for the next installment of this fine software I am now faced with even more concerns & questions. <img>

KisMod was to be the new name of the site and to prepare the way for The next version of our CMS, while still supporting and developing our current version 141. Due to the complaints and the fact that only 4 or 5 of ust took part in the renaming discusion, I threw out the name [sup:3ricsz8u]e-[/sup:3ricsz8u]tegra, and it seemed to get a positive reponse. It was never considered befor that, but now we have been discussing whether we should change our url from KisMod, to [sup:3ricsz8u]e-[/sup:3ricsz8u]tegra. That is as simple as I can explain it. I understand that it has been confusing for all but hopefully it will be cleared up soon.

and yes I did grab integrmod.com and .net ....just in case

soooo... basically, as someone pointed out 2 weeks ago, since the name is changing from KisMod, 1.4.1 is going to be pushed back a significant amount of time anyways?

I thought that whole poll was overwhelmingly pointing to keep the name and release 1.4.1. I don't mean to sound like I'm whining or moaning, I'm just trying to understand where everything stands, especially the release of 1.4.1, because I, like many others here I'm sure, have basically put doing anything on my site on hold 'till the new version. That includes fixing things that break, which has been increasing due mostly to the mods I had installed and tried to uninstall.

So basically...

1. KisMod is the codename for the development of the phpBB3 version
2. 1.4.1 remains nameless, but e-Tegra is a strong candidate
3. 1.4.1 will take some time to be released as no name has been decided and once a name is decided, a whole mess of changes need to occur in the code

Is that about right?

[Dioncecht]

by the way, I know the tone in my last reply comes across as pissy, please dont take it that way. I'm just trying to get a clear perspective in my head oh where everything stands.

I appreciate and respect all the work you guys are putting into this! Believe me, if I was really as frustrated as I come across sometimes, I would have switched to something else. I have no plans on switching to anything else except 1.4.1

i think when IM 141 is released, it should go by the name of integrmod, and all the support for IM, all versions should be moved to that domain.

integrmod.com should be kept for Michaelo development of the kissportal with phpbb3.

just seems the simplest to me,

when you want support for IM, you go to integrmod.com

when you want to see how the kisportal and phpbb3 is coming along, go to integrmod.com (or Michaelo's site if he does not move his stuff to integrmod.com)

[Leadfoot]

Ya gotta agree with cleo there. It seems alot of confusion is being caused by sheer misunderstanding. I think I just finally got it all straight myself. Great job on snatchin up the domain names Helter now lets put them to use!!

I am in total agreement here.

Why is there an additional delay related to the name change, however? The once the domain has resolved and the redirect is set, only the code changes remain, correct? I searched through my entire IM installation and found 794 entries of "IntegraMOD". It appeared that most were either domain links or comment related. Unless "IntegraMOD" was used as a variable or database element, one should be able to change the entire file structure en-masse. Dreamweaver allows you to Find/Replace entire directories and subdirectories in one action. I assume many of the high end text editors allow similar functionality. Maybe there is something obvious which I am missing. In that case I am curious to know.

[Michaelo]

There will be no delay relating to the name change... It takes two minutes to find and replace every instance of IntegraMod with integrmod in the entire project...

ok I'll give you two minutes <img>
