I'm looking for someone to write a XF2 addon which forces users to include certain strings in new posts. I need it to replicate the functionality of a Xenforo 1.x addon we commissioned a few years ago, but which is now not maintained, so that we can finally upgrade to Xenforo 2. The original...

Hi! I've not installed it yet (though I have purchased it) and I have two minor questions: 1. In the install notes (1.23.3) it says to upload the 'js' and 'library' folders but doesn't say to upload the 'data' folder. Is this an oversight? 2. I'm specifically interested in the geolocation...

I'm fishing for a quote for a Xenforo 1.4.x modification that performs the following: - Checks the new thread or reply post (ability to enable either or both) in a specific subforum or subforums for words or phrases (based on a list) - If said word or phrase is not in the post, one of the...

Thank you @Brogan It's too bad there's not a better way to do it in Xenoro (e.g. searching attachments by filename, sorting by filename, having an attachment.php input that takes us to the thread/user etc.) but I suppose it's a bit of a niche thing...

That assumes I know the date. I don't. But I did try that, and for whatever reason in the 370xxx zone, it's not there. No idea why that would be. So I assumed there must be something going on that I am not aware of regarding nomenclature.

I have a tricky problem. I need to remove a file from my server (under pain of death) but I'm not sure where it is. All I have is the raw path e.g. http://mysite.com/attachments/mysteriousfile.jpg.370682/ I can access that file. Now how do I work backwards to locate the post/thread...

I've spent a very long time setting up various portals and trying to get a new layout to load at /portal/whatever/index or /portal/whatever/ as per the guides All I want is a second portal landing, and every time I visit the URLs as described in the various comments here and the tutorial...

I see. That's too bad. Thanks for the info.

How would one go about posting an IRC link? by which I mean irc://irc.ircserver.com/channel <-- except clickable The BBCode interpreter does all sorts of strange things. For example 1. Linked text Code: #channel@irc.ircserver.com Result: #channel@ircserver.com 2. URL text left to the...

I recall that first name from a vBulletin server optimisation request I made probably close to a decade ago... it seems rude to PM him though. Thanks for the input. And you're not far off with the RAID suggestion. This is a rather old forum, and we've been on debian for several years of our...

This might sound silly, but is what are the implications of setting the RecentNews block to a forum or forums with several hundred thousand threads? The reason I'm asking was because I did just that and it made my SQL server very unhappy, and nothing would load at all. Do I need to give it...

I've recently imported a fairly large vB forum to Xen, and I would like some advice on configuration. Stats: 1-3000 online (5000 on weekends back on vB) ~1m threads ~2m members ~70GB attachments ~6GB db size 2 Servers, Server 1 just points at Server 2 (they're on the same subnet) in config.php...
