Ready to buy but...

No support for the Greek language? Please tell me that i searched the wrong way and the Greek language is supported.. Keep me away from Vb

 

[Paul B]

What do you mean by supported?

You can create your own language pack/translation.

 

[Pierre Boulanger]

I'm talking for a Greek language pack to install!

How can i create my own pack/translation? Do you have something ready to use?

 

[Paul B]

All language packs, other than the default English (US) are created by third parties.

You can check here to see if there is already one for the Greek language: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/translations.31/

 

[TLMD]

You can translate xF into whatever language you want.

On these forums you can have a look here: http://xenforo.com/community/forums/languages
A Greek language pack is currently not available there. This means you either have to create it by your own or find someone doing it for you, I guess.

 

[Pierre Boulanger]

Is there a tool that can help me start translating?

Is there a tool that can help me start translating?

There is an interface in the Admin Control Panel that let you view all thre phrases in the system and it lets you type a translation if you want.

Maybe Dakis is able to help

 

[Pierre Boulanger]

Walter thanks so much i will contact him..

Now the major question.. What it will be transfered form my current phpbb v 3.0.1.1 board?

Forums?
Subforums?
Members?
Moderators?
Post counts? (important)
Forum views? (very impordant)
Avatars?

Last question
Now when I google 2cv all relevant info is linked to my forum (www.my2cv.gr)
Is this going to be changed if i go XenForo?

Thanking you in advance!

 

[Paul B]

All of the below will be imported.

You can set up redirects for existing links.

 

[Jeremy]

Forum Views, I'm not sure on, but the rest will most definitely get imported over. With proper redirects set up (301 Permanently Moved), search engines will gradually update their indexes to point to the next XenForo installation.

... ninja'd ... again ...

 

[Pierre Boulanger]

Sorry for bothering you but can you explain this?
(Poor English sorry)

 

[Paul B]

You use .htaccess to redirect old (existing) links to new (future, post-import) links.

Don't worry, someone (@Jake Bunce) will be able to help with this.

 

[MattW]

I used the below in .htaccess and it covered pretty much all of the old phpBB3 links

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)t=([0-9]+)(&|$) [NC]
        RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php$ /threads/%2? [L,R=301,NC]
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} f=(\d+)$ [NC]
        RewriteRule ^(viewforum\.php|viewtopic\.php)$ /forums/%1? [L,R=301,NC]
        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)p=([0-9]+)(&|$) [NC]
        RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php$ /posts/%2? [L,R=301,NC]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_301

Basically, it tells search engines that what used to be at URL A is now at URL B and is going to stay there. As Brogan said, the community will help you.

 

[Pierre Boulanger]

Thanks so much..
The initial post, user registration and other dates (from phpbb) will remain after migration?

 

[Paul B]

Yes.

 

[Pierre Boulanger]

We shout the we are the first 2CV forum in Greece.. The first installation date will be also transferred (viewable) ?
My apologies for all these questions..

 

[Paul B]

All of the timestamps will be retained.

What specifically are you concerned about?

This?


If so, I've not seen that anywhere in the ACP in XF.
