  • Their situation is understandable, but there are licenses that require attribution for that case.

    Anyway – SMF isn’t really fitting because it mostly seems to be a clone of the traditional forum systems. I’ll give a test install of Vanilla a try, hopefully that’ll have everything I need. There is also Phorum that I found, looks kinda interesting (thanks for that ForumMatrix)

    Something about SMF’s inability to use a trusted open-source license though as a project turns me off. I’ll check it out though.

    I don’t need any integration, and phpbb doesn’t cut it unfortunately.

    Yeah, I guess posting my req’s would’ve been a good start.

    The forums need to accommodate a community. The community is for a open-source program – so the forums have an ideas, support, general talk, scripting (it can be done in the program by advanced users), and an offtopic section (means embedded images and whatnot).

    Avatars, PM’s, a featureful button toolbar, support for code pastes (so no forum breaking, highlighting), post attachments, email post notifications, and support for embedded images is what’s missing for me currently. Oh, and a search bar…

    Ahh sorry didn’t see this post. I found the issue, tables on my old install had mf_ prefix, on new bb_ prefix. I renamed the tables themselves but overlooked the mf_ entried in bb_usermeta. Renaming those fixed things back!

    We actually raised the limit to 90 and it said the same thing. The forums are rather small, only 317 posts…

    Nevermind, I manually exported and imported the tables with phpMyAdmin.

    Good lesson not to rely on alpha software!

    Where can the above code be stuffed, _ck_?

    Won’t be changing the domain name, just moving to a new host – but for the time being, the domain name will change temporarily.

    Unfortunately I couldn’t find any import/export plugins, and I searched for them again just now… was hoping for a more fail-safe solution than exporting and importing the databases :/

    Syntax highlighter. There’s Geshi and Google plugins available for WordPress.

    _ck_ told me how to port them over but I’ve been too busy to do so yet (and it’s not a pressing issue atm. But it will be in the future…)

    Solved by poking around with phpMyAdmin.
