Bimmersport Upgrade - Stuff broken?

[Jamez 2147483647]

Bimmersport has been upgrade to a new version bringing it forward by about 4 years and a major version.

 

Looks like a lot of images are broken, this didn't happen on the test run. I will figure it out.

 

Let me know if anything else is broken. Username and public names have now been combined as this was a requirement to upgrade.

Copying images to a new directory now, should fix all the problems.

Has anything replaced the home page where there were the 5 or so most recent posts listed? I previously use to check in on this about once a day to see what was happening on the forum without having to log in. This is the link I use to have http://bimmersport.co.nz/index.php?app=ccs&module=pages&section=pages&folder=&id=3

(I'm in no rush for a reply, just when you get a chance... migrating/upgrading platforms in no easy task I'm sure!).

I posted in the Forum questions bit.

The is the same software I'm moderating elsewhere. Loads of functionality.

Not sure if this is something that can be fixed, but all the posts are currently showing up as read/unread (not sure which?) so I can't tell whats a new post and what isn't.

 

I'm guessing its the way content was migrated or something and will sort itself out as new content is posted?

Easy fix. At the top right of the page is a link to 'Mark site read'. Click that, and everything is read. Only new stuff will show when you hit 'Unread content' (formerly known as new posts, or whatever).

Yeah I just wasn't sure if it was all showing as Unread, or all as Read haha. Will give it a try and see if it works out. Can't hurt.

Viewing this on a tablet, all the forum subjects are spelled out vertically down the page, or I am on drugs.

[gjm 3258]

Saw that on the conversion I did. I'll see if I can find the details.

It's fixable.

Log in not work from drop down (running surface RT 2008)

On screen keyboard kept disappearing and the word display would overwrite login field. Might be an issue for other tablets ?

Could login via support link as alternative.

I like it, its the same software on a lot of other forums im on. Far better than the old one that was on here.

No obvious issues on Chrome/OSX El Crapitan.

Are the signature pics coming back or gone for good? 

Also seem a lot of pics from one of my threads have vanished. Should I wait or edit the thread?

Cheers.

I'll reserve my judgement for the moment. This is a big step with a lot to sort out I imagine

Fixed the pictures in the thread as your images were using the old path style, just meant creating a symlink between the two styles.

 

What other images are still broken? I just need the URL of the broken image to figure out why its broken.

[Jamez 2147483647]

For the vertical thread titles it is a known issue and will be fixed in the next release which will probably be some time next month. In the meantime the following hotfix has been added to the custom css config to try resolve it:

 

/* Fixes layout issues on safari 6, chrome 19-23 (which caused problems on old android devices) */
_::-moz-svg-foreign-content, :root .ipsContained_container > span {  
    display: inline-block !important; 
}

/* Fixes layout issues on safari 4 */
_:window-inactive, body:nth-last-child(n0) .ipsContained_container > span { 
    display: inline-block !important; 
}

Easy to fix, under your name at the top click Account Settings > Display Name and change it back.

 stuff that will need tweaking ...

I need to restore the 'whos online' panels etc etc

Also not 100% on the colors but theyre growing on me. I need to sort out the header too ... the site looks too 2005 the way it is.

[*Glenn* 854]

The sponsor banners could do with a tweak in the size too if that's possible
