Okay here is my forum, not much changed from the original since I plan to wait until the final release of the software. This will primarily be a photo sharing site of hot hunks. No nudes. So, if you are easily offended by images of shirtless hunks in jeans etc you may want to avoid. Of course the ladies and open minded guys feel free to stop by

hunkFORO.com

I'm not sure if linking to that site would be appropriate, since the rules of these forums aren't clearly laid out. If I may ask, please contact a moderator and ask if it's ok to post.

You can throw this on the development links it won't be going live yet but being used to test out styles.

Turn about is fair play, if guys can worship girls on the net the other way around is, well, allowed.

I'm not denying that. What I'd like to verify is whether such content can be linked to from this site. (One that is primarily intended to be a support forum for software.)

 

[AnthonyCea]

Thankfully it is not my call, those guys are customers too !!

 

[Peggy]

Linking to sites that display porn or nudity, is not permitted.
As has been stated before, XenForo.com is a family-friendly site.

Thanks for asking first, Jake.

Are you going to try the WordPress Bridge ?

Yes, I intend to. I wanted to today but didn't have a chance. If I can find it in me to try later tonight again I will, otherwise it'll be Sunday or Monday.

Is that possibly just a test version of his forum.

If it isn't I sure want to hear how this turns out

You went live with Beta 1?

I know I did.

 

[jonsidneyb]

I know I did.

You went live with an already existing forum? What is it?

Are you going to try the WordPress Bridge ?

Ok, Installed - I've tested with my account across the three, everything looks good! I've asked my few users to test.

Side note - Be sure you use the same username in both - or create a WP admin user to match that of your XF account before installing, or else you won't get into wp-admin.

This is really just looking so good!

Thanks

Just imported our Vb4 forums and started with our basic site skin. I've also done the wordpress integration, it works just fine .

I'll be doing a bit more work on it and have to move over our custom PHP pages still. But it's on it's way

What do you think?

Very nice! Man... I didn't even know they are still around!

http://www.forumvancouver.com/ but not immediately though.

1. Use impex -> vB -> xF
2. Redo theme
3. Manually 301 the threads (because I don't know how to code ).

I wasn't going ti suggest that given my history, though happy to see it happening.

The 301/404 scripts are VERY easy to sort out, I think Kier has already done one and I left one (as my own personal work not during time for vB) on vb.org that could easily be re-worked to support incoming links.

Another Vancouver person eh ......

Not familiar at all with PHP so the redirection scripts are beyond me , I ended up manually doing some of them since there were only 500 posts. Afterwards I wrote a python script to pull the old and new links, so it was semi-automatic.

I did run into some hitches that I managed to figure out.

One of which was making password authentication work. I didn't know which file to edit in impex, so I ended up changing all references that had md5.

The other was that while all posts were successfully imported into vB, not all were imported into xF. After pulling the new links and digging around the database, I noticed that xF omits threads without postusername. Running UPDATE `set this to your vB database`.`thread` SET `postusername` = 'Guest' WHERE `thread`.`postusername` =''

Other than that, everything worked perfectly after using cleaner to clean things up.

I detailed my experience in this post: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/vb-as-an-import-intermediate-share-your-experiences.5942

Undoubtedly, you'll be able to provide more elegant solutions!
