Hey,

the server running wiki and forum on is quite a bit outdated.
So the i plan to do a major upgrade to most recent debian version on friday, 25.10.2013 (starting at 19.00 CEST).

i try to keep the downtime to a minimum.

how come?
i  wanted to do a upgrade to the wiki and setup a apache solr search coz' me and others complaining about finding anything in the wiki but php version is to old for the latest wiki version.
maybe more in case this worked ;-)

Cheers,
ochorocho

if you find any issues in forum or wiki let me know.

Cheers,
ochorocho

thanks, for paying attention :-)

currently i'm fighting against my own stupidity. A Backup ended in a 100% filled up hdd which forced me to reinstall.
Cant work on the forum till my core is up again.

current state of the forum is:
* Update to smf2 required to make ldap Auth plugin work
* smf2 upgrade worked after some db modifications which shouldnt be required when doing on the life system
* ldap auth plugin looks fine but i couldnt log in after doing all the setup stuff.

cheers,
ochorocho

while waiting for the LDAP Mod release for smf (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=247449.msg3635934#msg3635934)
i did a redesign of the forum.

This is the test installation: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/ocho/smf/

On initial load all looks good, but once I log in as my user or descend into a sub-forum I loose all graphics.
Am I meant to be able to go further than initial page?

Hi ochorocho,
Great job,
Overall a much cleaner look, which i like a lot :)
A big improvement!
If i may, some design suggestions:

  • make all corners square, ditch the rounded ones
  • don't use outlined squares, only use filled squared like each topic on the main page
  • make each item on the different pages slightly higher to match more the height of the items on the frontpage
  • use the color-scheme used on www.linuxmce.org to get a more overall consistent look and feel
Its a nice feature that you can retract the top navigation bar :)
Thanks for all your work

RayBe, yes Sir! Will change the stuff you suggested....

I tried on a different browser and all appears as it should - sorry about that.
Must be something local I'll need to investigate.
