I guess the only reason is that they are upgrading? ;)

I had no intention to provide any pointless suggestion. If so, feel free to delete this thread.

Hello,

I think that the Client Area should gets some love soon too.

Few of my suggestions;

• Fewer links
• Better categorized
• TinyMCE on ticket-editor
• Display various information on the frontpage (Name, products, tickets sent, ticket awaiting reply, statistics, etc.)
• Bug: The success image when you login has a Success-text displayed. Maybe apply text-indent: -9999px
• Remove the transition to new website. Isn't it moved already?

Read here about using mysqldump: http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2009/01/mysql-database-backup-mysql-mysqldump-backup-command.html

Birger :)

I would also want a tab-ordering option present as well.

Could at least add a option to make the skin sticked for members. Would definitely have this enabled.

Birger :)

Will this be updated for 3.0.4? Looks great. Something that I were looking for ;)

Another forum I used to use regularly had a URL something which works as the case with Innlegg.no, but when I selected a skin from the dropdown, it stayed that way for always.

With 3.x, I can't select a skin which stays selected when I'm logged in. That is the feature I wish.

Birger :)

If so, we just have to live with then. The thing regarding URL mapping on the site above, is that for guest, they will be displayed with the representative skin for each site. But for members, they should be able to select a default skin, which overrides when the user is logged in. If I remember correctly, this is featured on 2.3.x.

Birger :)

Hello,

Would be great to see that the skin you set will not be override from what is in the URL. This is an issue over at http://innlegg.no/ which has multiple portals using one forum, in turns having their own skin.

Making 'date of birth' / 'birthday' an optional or required profile field on registration.

We are finding that many of our newest members since we converted do not have their birthday in the profile, and there is no way to give them a reminder to add it when registering.

Regarding this, it would be really awesome if there were an function in the ACP to send out a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly notice to all members asking them to update various info on their profiles. The things to update would be a choice which we could set. Another example is that I plan on starting a Xbox 360 community, and it would be really nice for me to remind everyone member to add there gamertag to their profile.

I have been in this process myself, and I used this article as my guide. Highly recommended, since it also convert all characters to the new set. Though it requires full SSH support with Perl (DBI and DBD-MySQL).
The script is almost at the end of the article, starting with # wget.

Regarding MySQL, I can recommend MySQLTuner. With PHP, this is more a Apache mather, something I want to learn more about too.

I experienced a problem with MySQL, and the field I needed to alter were; max_allowed_packet. I changed it to 16M for the time being.

Maybe it is better for you to dump the database in the console.

mysqldump -u <username> -p <databasename> -c > <filename>.sql

Birger :)

Good news :thumbsup: Glad it got solved.

Birger :)

Provide a proper tool for converting the database to UTF-8.

Birger :)

I tried your script. Only got "No database is selected" error. Even though I made sure that I had the correct name.
Ed1t: It worked, thank you :D

Birger :)

Ed2t: You should build it work support for converting the symbols too. Since now I only get some nasty question marks.

Updated for 3.0.4? Looks good ;)

Maybe IPS is better in any way ;)

Birger :)

Have no time to read through the thread. But I really want a "view new posts" to the left of the titles again. Makes everything much easier.

Birger :)

I would really love to a "View My Posts". Where you can track your threads where you have participated. phpBB, SMF, PunBB has had this feature for years.

Birger :)
