Ah and oh..

Than im just spoiled with FriendlyFire's magic hacks and tricks. Because we use the same forum system and it provides a nice quote button on the bottom of every post next to reply.

Well,

We run a coding/modding site our selves. We know what it does to the greater good to just share the code changes and updates.

Question: Why is there no quote button?

After strugeling for nearly 1.5 years with a Joomla / SMF combo on our site we decided to look into other CMS systems, of wich one of them was Xoops.
After reviewing a LOT of systems, XOOPS turned out the most suiteble for our needs wich were:
Inline Forum.
Good flexible security system.
Code had to to be structured enough to get changed to fit our needs.

The starport is dedicated to a game called Freelancer, you can read more about that herehttp://the-starport.net/modules/mediawiki/index.php/Beginner_Guide

Since we get a fair few visitors a day we had to move over quick from SMF / Joomla to Xoops, after a migration of 2 hours we fixed that (made and tested the scripts long before ofc) and the XOOPS site was up and running.

Our main coder had some issues with the newbb system, especialy the way how it handled the Read/Unread topics so he revised that practicly complete. He also gave me a list of what he changed to the site.

Quote:

# IMG forum tags are now case insensitive

# DHTMLArea will not show the image button unless the image extension is online

# All tags are case insensitive (b and B, U and u, etc.)

# Added better styling for quote blocks

# Added full support for ordered and non-ordered lists

# Added better styling for code blocks

# Added buttons for lists

# Added direct links to NewBB forum search and MediaWiki search in the Advanced Search page

# Added support for an image gallery for every News item; only 6 items are displayed on the front page and they use a lightbox powered by jQuery to show up in full size; images are parsed from HTTP links, thumbnails are created and the images are saved locally

# Added automatic news posting on NewBB forums, including updating said thread's first post if the news gets updated; the post always has a link to the full article at the beginning

# News shown on the front page only display the first 750 characters; a prominent "Read More..." link is automatically displayed if necessary and an ellipsis is added at the end of the text

# Modified News submission body text's legend to feature a counter for the number of characters left for front page display

# Added Geshi support for the MediaWiki built into Xoops' MediaWiki module

# Largely overhauled VideoTube's random video block to use a custom JavaScript-based player when using YouTube streams

# Overhauled query for fetching the "most recent replied topics" so that it would mark which are unread to the user logged in; if a guest, it would mark all topics posted in within the last hour

# Removed the limit criterion for setRead_items_db in NewBB so that marking topics as read does not ignore older topics

# Overhauled list.topic's "unread" status SQL queries so that they would only fetch the unread posts for the user currently logged in and that it would not return the same topic multiple times

# Fixed bug which would disallow registered users from editing their own posts

# Overhauled action when mark_read is found in NewBB as a GET variable; it will now mark as read all the forums AND the topics in said forums

# Changed RSS feed behavior so that the links would point to the post in question, not only to the thread in which the post was

# Overhauled the IMG tags so that they would open a lightbox using Slimbox 2 only if the image has been resized from its original value and if there is no link wrapping it already

# Fixed a problem with the CODE tag where all the code would always appear on a single line

# Major reworking of the template, particularly the "most recent replied topics" template which now displays the forum followed by the topic, both linked, and where hovering on the topic link changes its display mode so it word wraps; the main menu was also changed a lot as well as the search box

Thank you for your time.

Regards.

The users migration isn't the problem, it is the passwords migration, Joomla uses a different password store type you will have to figure out and add it to the password verification on Xoops.
Allready had a successfull migration of SMF to Xoops, and im currently looking at content migration from Joomla to XOOPS because our site is migrating to XOOPS because joomla/smf are in conflicting licenses.

I have no issues what so ever. Tried converting from SMF to Newbb worked like a charm.
The only error i get is "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in file /modules/newbb/class/forum.php line 776" think it needs some extra checking as this is a line to check the moderators but i don't have them set yet on the forums.

Other than that i see no problems at all.

Other question:

Do the SEO hacks explained here:https://xoops.org/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=.htaccess&curid=1119&oldid=3804 work?

SMF CBB 3.08 converter

I don't know if this is the right place to post it.
But in my quest to convert a joomla/smf bridged site to XOOPS i ran into the issue that there isn't a single convertor for Simple Machines Forum to Xoops.

So i decided to create one, im not a coder or DB admin so the code won't be that clean and its very simple.

The converter is located here smfconverter.

Please read the readme.txt file as it contains information you must read as it contains some XOOPS core hacks for the password conversion from SMF to Xoops.

I have tested it on a SMF 1.07 installation to a XOOPS 2.3.3 installation with CBB 3.08 installed.
The signatures are getting migrated but its best to leave them out as the images with the img width and heigth aren't understood by Xoops.

Hope you find this a bit usefull.
These scripts come without garantee and support. Allways make sure you make a backup before migrating.

Regards.

Ok, found out how to solve this.
The folders and files have to be owned by the web server user and files and folders all need to be set at level 755.

Found this out when i looked at the admin index of Dokuwiki where the module couldn't find the folders needed. After i deleted the current folders the module could create them, than i knew it was a rights problem and not a module problem.
