Thanks to everyone involved in the forums migration.

Best regards,

Maintenance on the Forums is completed!

The Forums are now at phpBB 3.3.7 which was released March 17, 2023. The prior 
version was 3.0.9 released July 10, 2011.

Very, very happy. Future updates should be much easier. I will follow up with 
the Forum sysadmins on these issues:

1. The Italian Forum has a weird display issues. I think that a post will need 
to be regenerated.
2. We need to find forum administrators to replace imacat for each forum.
3. I will need to document the process, customizations and migration steps.

But I’ll need a few days away.

ATB,
Dave

Registration works OK; I registered a new user, got the activation email and 
activated the account. Then posted a first message and (as moderator) approved 
it, but I _did not_ get the email advising of approval although the post was 
cleared. I did check junk as that was where the activation email ended up :-).

There is an apparent inconsistency on the mod control panel; some recent events 
that are displayed under the Moderator Logs tab do not appear under the Main 
tab.

While I'm on the topic, is there any chance the change to the search page I 
mentioned at 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=105949#p515320 might be 
implemented?
Done! Try it on the EN forum and I’ll propagate to the others.

And, pushing my (our?) luck even more, the extensions Banhammer and stopforumspam 
mentioned in 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=96141#p513871
We’re going to need to take full control of the forum sysadmin role once the 
migration is completed.

The en and fr forums are available to test:

https://openoffice-vm1-lw-us.apache.org/

Please test these forums.

Known work to do:
- Restore the Apache Open Office logo in the header
- Return the Apache and Get OpenOffice information in the footer
- Avatars have moved in 3.3.7 need to determine how to move them.

The automatic mySQL migration from 3.0.9 seems to work but takes quite some 
time.

Apologies for the late communication.

The forums are being updated from phpBB 3.0.9 to 3.3.7.

Differences so far:
1. The subsilver2 theme is no longer available.
2. Analytics are removed due to new ASF privacy policies. We can add back 
analytics that are compliant in the next weeks.
3. Search Display code is changed and I could not see how add 
({NEW_POST_COUNT}) into styles/prosilver/template/index_body.html
4. /style.php is no longer included.
5. /app.php is new.
6. /includes/ucp/ucp_register.php will need to be tested on the French forum.
7. /feed.php is reorganized and it was not clear how to add the customized 
rel=“alternate” to one of the links.

This doesn’t seem bad.
Language packs were found and AOO customizations are added.

I expect to finish late tonight - when ready there will be a test url.

Once the forums are put into maintenance the following will happen:

1. Make sure all the files and images that have been uploaded are copied.
2. Dumps of the mysql databases will be copied over.
3. Forum databases will be updated
4. Forum admins will have a chance to test.
5. Once live we’ll triage any issues.

Bidouille has access to the VM … any other forum admins who are already 
OpenOffice committers may request access.

A warning - this same VM hosts the wiki and the mysql databases.

I’ll be offline for a few hours before returning to this work and to answer any 
questions.

ATB,
Dave

Almost went crazy. Would have been a real short trip.
