I am trying the migration ruight now from rc1!

Edit:
OOps, I had a little proble I think the update file from rc1 to rc2 must be renamed to:
newbb2rc1_to_newbb2.php and not
newbbrc1_to_newbb2.php

Or the form wont find it.

Later I had another problem on step 2:
green Drop scb_bb_forum_mods
Change old Tables
red Could not add field in scb_bb_forums
red Could not add field in scb_bb_topics

Maybe I am doing somthing wrong?

I've upgraded from newbb1 and i've discovered that submitting a poll doesn't work. It seems to insert a blank poll (no title, descrip, choices).

Any clues why this may happen?

you mention the search function is causing server load. Is that problem fixed in this version?

also..
to update the newbb to NewBB 2.0
i have to remove the old one by uninstalling the module and delete it from the directory?

Awsome Job Ya'll!
Just updated from newbbRc1 - Newbb2.

Aside from the items "suico" reported, the install went well.

There is still a problem I first noticed in rc1, and it may be user error:
When setting the Blocks:
Recent Topics
Recent Forum Topics
Most Viewed Topics "Options - Allowed forum list ", whenever I put anythign other than "0" the entire block fails to show.
I've septerated each forum id by ; and ;;

1;2;10;16;7
*note the instructions call for 2 ";;" don't know if that was right or not.

excellent work and i'm already liking this newbb2 version..

great job guys, it's a massive improvement over the old newbb, so much that i have decided to use this new version on my new site i'm building on a test server i have access to, and u probably know from my posts here that i'm a really big IPB fan..

only problem i found after renaming the update file like mentioned, is the online indicator in topics.. it says offline even tho i'm online..

Re: NewBB 2.0 RC2 release

tedsmith Published 10/06/2004 6:34 Home away from home Joined 06/02/2004 Comments 1151

Just a thought - the requirement to re-generate the newBB templates should be added in the main instructions for the module along with the 'Run the script', 'update the module' etc. as this appears to be a vital point that many people (including me) keep missing.

Just a thought.

I upgraded from 1.0 to newbb 2.0 rc2
I removed the old newbb folder
I upgraded the module
I (think) set the permissions right

But still I can't see the forums in the main page. Strange thing is that it does not show text at all.
Not even the legend. I can see the forums in the admin section
Did I miss something?

Thanks

I'm still experienciencing the problem of no buttons/graphics being visible in Internet Explorer.. They all seem to point towards the spacer.png. I've tried a upgrade install from newbb1 and a fresh install of rc2 (and I've regenerated my templates each time).. but still no luck.. I'm also experiencing the slow loading times..

It works really well and very quickly in Firefox though!

Can anyone please help?

I prefer not to have the left column menus, but have a horz menu above the forums.

I like to use the entire page for the forums and provide a link at top for return to homepage or other modules. I do retain the header. I just like a horizontal one line menu below the header.
In fact the Topic Options, Rate Thread, Search, , View Modes, line could be on the same horz. line. The board would appear less cluttered and since those items apply to the whole board shouldn't the be in a more "global" positioning.

Topic Options - I'd prefer to allow users to just print a specific posting in lieu of the whole thread. Users can always drag and select the whole thread if they want it, and cut/paste to their word processor. I think this is overkill. I often cut/paste from a specific posting, but I've never wanted a complete thread. I take that back I have scrolled and selected whole threads, pasted into my WP and the removed the stuff I didn't want (edited it).

Rate Thread - Who needs this? I don't think I've "ever" rated a thread.

The alt= boxes on items clutter the screen. I would prefer clickons with popups instead of mouseovers.

The search function is always necessary, clickon for popup.

-- Again I definitely would like to be able remove all side columns and have the forums fill the page with links at the top under the heading like shown...only.

When users become familiar with boards all the things you need for new users...they don't want. Easy on the eyes is important to users that are on the boards alot, which can probably be handled with skin changes.

All in all it looks --- EXCELLENT

Congratulations on the excellent module. A huge step forward for newbb, and a maybe even more important step forward for XOOPS itself.

One little bug; dunno if it's mentioned before:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '@' in *blahblah*/modules/newbb/admin/admin_forum_manager.php on line 559

Did a fresh install, no update from previous newbb. Created a category and now wanted to add a new forum in the admin menu. Than I got the error as it says above.

Solution to IE png files problem.

holyman Published 10/06/2004 18:20 Updated 10/06/2004 18:21 Just popping in Joined 09/30/2004 Comments 5

For anybody that is experiencing problem with png graphics (button etc...) not being displayed with newbb2 ..

You may need to set any image hotlinking scripts to make an exception for png files. This allows IE to display them properly in the module.

It worked for me.

Pred offered to take a look at my theme files..I just haven't gotten around to taking advantage of that yet.

Im using: IE 6.0.28

And the same thing happens to me with FireFox: 1.0

When i first load a forum page, it looks fine until I hit "F5" to refresh the page.

Im using the default theme, default templates. The only thing I have added to my theme is a little include statement that brings in a java menu. (im going to take this out today and see if that makes a difference.)

When I look at my source code, its as if the newbb menues executed at once, and it is laid out in a tables.

Did anyone get a chance yet to determine what could be 'non-compliant' about some themes that don't work with this version of newbb? I'm having the same problem with missing png files, and legend-text. I don't have much java onsite, and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've done the templates, done the Themes, and everything listed on the install info, but I'm still getting missing images, and text. (I'm using scac theme btw, with very little modifications)

This is allready implement in the RC2 using attachments for Images.

In the Newbb2 Preference you can set the Maximum Image Width.

For this resize feature you need GD or ImageMagicK on your Webhost or server.

is there no way to use bb2 without default template set? I've already modified mine a lot. - no going back 4 me?

- and if not, is there a graceful way to back out of the upgrade at this point? - no biggie that the topics are lost, but I don't wanna mug up my DB.

[edit] well ok MY fix was just to uninstall, then reinstall. I didn't mind loosing the few things I had in the old one so I just wiped. and it works good now @ KXRO

I made the mistake of putting this on a working site and it is sooooo slow as to be almost unusable. I have had to take the site offline and restore to pre-upgrade status. The problem seems to be with IE but that is most of my users (and I suspect that is true for most of us). Maybe I will try again when the final comes out. I don't remember the betas being this slow but then again that was on a test site.

Even here it is taking about 50 seconds for forum pages to load in IE. I know we are spoiled but that is just too long.

Yes, I have the same problem. I was so excited about having a nice new mod to play with that I forgot that that was occurring. It looked dorky when I just had one or two categories showing up, but as I set the perms on all the cats, it started to look more tolerable. Still, I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

hrmmms, my post count doesn't go any higher on my forums.

I first had the orginal newbb, then upgraded to newbb 2 rc1, and then updated to rc2. Had some problems with forums not showing up but that got resolved by using RC2, but now our user's postcounts doesn't get any higher, what's up with that?

i did like sync with the database for a few million times, no go though.

Thanks Predator.

I know that I need to have at least the GD library but I can't have it to work with linked images on my local test site.

I saw it work correctly on your site (my post).

For me, it's only the case when images are attached, perhaps a server misconfiguration .

My server for tests:

Wamp 1.3
php 4.3.9 (with GD2 enable)
mysql 4.0.21

excellent work and i'm already liking this newbb2 version..

great job guys, it's a massive improvement over the old newbb, so much that i have decided to use this new version on my new site i'm building on a test server i have access to, and u probably know from my posts here that i'm a really big IPB fan..

only problem i found after renaming the update file like mentioned, is the online indicator in topics.. it says offline even tho i'm online..

I figure out what it was. You must set the default whoi's online block to all pages to see the online status online :(

@modkid, you can find the CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xoops/modules/newbb/?only_with_tag=newbb_2_0_branch
Or, you can just replace newbb/include/functions.php with this file:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xoops/modules/newbb/include/functions.php?rev=1.1.1.57&only_with_tag=newbb_2_0_branch&view=markup

@for online status, you have to enable it from module preferences page. NewBB uses a different table storing online info and it is not related to the who's online block

CVS update has a 3-8 hours of delay for non-developer users, so plz wait for a while

The online fix seems to have worked very well for me. Thanks. I have another little thing thatmaybe could be changed:

In line 119 of blocks/newbb_new.php remove the width and height : width="15" height="15"

Like this like in my forum where I have changed the icons I can use any size of icons without any problems of compability of size.

The same change could be done in class/forum.php so the lasticon would show properly if the imagens are changed.

Hope you can understand what I am saying.

AAARrrrrggggghhhhh, it totaly screwed up my theme for the forums, I updated from version 1, I deleted all the forum templates and generated new ones, seeing as I'm using custom templates. But my site menu in my header is screwey, the right blocks are off whack, and my posts don't show till below my last block in either left or right blocks. also the buttons for Topic Options, Rate Thread, Search Forum & View Mode wont fit in an 800 x 600 resolution with left and right blocks, It pushes my page WAY too wide.

Apart from that,I like the way the module is going, I just can't use it on my site.

First let me start by saying, GREAT WORK! I love the new forums.

However, I am having two problems with RC2. The first has to do with Polls. When I attempt to create a poll, only the Vote button shows up (see image). I have the polls module installed and other polls (in the main polls module) are showing up fine. When visit the Polls Module Admin area and look at the poll I created in the forums, it is empty (no entries or text).
I am using the default template.
Resized Image

My second problem has to do with the following image. This started appearing after I upgraded from RC1 to RC2.

Since I am using the default template, I am assuming I don't have to regenerate anything? Actually I can't find anywhere to delete and regenerate the default template (I only have one template - the default one).

Suggestions?

Some issues:

1) HTML in posts not being translated again (despite allow HTML flag) - I thought this was fixed before - weird.

2) New Posts / No New Posts icons don't get updated when you read a post.

I am using the -r newbb_2_0_branch branch and use:
cvs -dP update

I have done update module and deleted all templates.

A very nice improvement, this newbb 2.
But: in some themes the layout is not so good as in the default theme. I use the coral_reef theme. Here I get on the starting page of my forum a very big ugly blue square with a strange lay-out.See example beneath. Resized Image Same goes for sea_surface theme.
In theme harmony for example there are no problems.
In the meantime I switch back to newbb 1....

what is digest?
http://beta.xoops2.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=131&forum=2

Digest is like a mailing list but not the same.

Some differences:
1 Not sending all posts but only the ones selected by moderators
2 Digest is not necessarily sent by email, which uses xoops' notification function and depends on user's preference.
3 Marking digest is the same important as sending digest because the marked (moderators can find 'Digest'/'UnDigest' command from the topic option menu) posts are highlighted by a special icon hence can be considered as moderators' recommendation
4 A 'digested' post can be 'undigested'

with the getVar, making site multilingual is now a piece of cake. You do not need hack each individual module any more, only the module.textsanitizer.php.
Of coz, to achieve this, all module developers should use getVar instead of direct db query in their modules.

Predator, are you considering changing the class names so that there is no conflict with style.css

I could edit my own, but this will be a recurring problem with users that change their theme often. Not knocking the work , just pointing something out.

Strictly eyecandy. The MP, HP and EXP relate to (not sure the order) posting number, online time, rate of posting. It's a copy from a forum mod I recall seeing for phpBB a while back.

The problem with bopcomments is solved, I set the search inside private forums to : false, so now there is no need to check if I (as user) am authorized to look into a private forum.

I deleted all newbb files, uploaded again to be sure that this was a clean install. But I still have NO multilingo newbb, I don't get it.

Ok...newbie here:

Walk me through these steps piece by piece please...

MUST-DOs to Enjoy NewBB 2.0 RC2 if you update from NewBB 1.0:

1. Remove you old newbb folder - I know how to do this.

2. Upload the New Files - I know how to do this.
and Run the Proper Update Scripts - ??

3. Update the NewBB Module in the Moduleadmin - I know how to do this.

4. Set Permissions for the Categories and Forums - ??

5. To make the Popup Menu work, make sure that the https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25275&forum=28&post_id=110408 <{$xoops_module_header}> is included in your theme.html - I know how to do this, but popup menu from where for what purpose?

6. Report bugs and let's go to NewBB 2.0 Final directly! - Only bug I found is that my actual forums didn't show in the update and what was listed were in fact my categories. But nothing showed up on the mdoule index page as far as categories or forums and I ran into database errors trying to add a category to test.

7. Update the newbb templates - ??

I've gone back to 1.0 for now. I look forward to your assistance.
