New Poll Button?

[posol]

E and Calesta see {A_poll} instead of the image. i see the image. im wondering whats up.
what do you guys see for the New Poll thread button?

 

[phunky.buddha]

It's more like:

<{A_POLL}>

 

[posol]

yeah, that too

like i said, i see it, so i don't really know.

what you're seeing is the template. it's almost like its not parsing for you



ohh, wait.

WHAT THEME ARE YOU GUYS USING???

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

i see the button

 

[phunky.buddha]

This is what I see:

I'm using the old theme, since it's not broken inside the PM box navigation.

 

[posol]

damnit, i scrwed around with the old theme the other day....

im ready to re-install the board with a new version that came out. we are still on the RC (release candidate) not the final, and the final has since come out.

i'll fix it.... eventually.

and i may even do a back up first this time

Don't forget the ENTIRE USERBASE.

ROFL.

 

[posol]

that only happened when i switched boards from phpbb to this one...
there wasn't a converter out back then

THAT won't happen.
the posts, although easy to back up, a BITCH to re-up to the database.
our DB of JUST POST TEXT is about 35MB. 35MB text file folks.
there's only 21,000 lines for the member file i can do that in about a half hour
lmao

php times out after 30 sec's of exe time... so basically, i have to sit there for 17-232 hours, chopping the 32 meg, 2000000 line file into about 1000 line segments, and up one at a time.
thats what happened last time... and i missed shit in the middle....

there's gotta be an easier way.... but i don't know of one.

 

[Slo86GT]

Any way to hack the value on the Timeout counter? Change it to 2400 or something so there's no worries?

That's a pretty chitty system, if that's the ONLY way it works.

 

[posol]

its part of php. that way, the server doesn't get overloaded with 1 task for more than 30 seconds.

it would work FINE if i could upload a 30MB file in 30 secs, but unfortunately, i don't have access to an OC-12
lol

 

[phunky.buddha]

Can you run the upload outside of the php system? Just upload the files via ftp and link them once they're on the server?

 

[posol]

not that i know of...
the DB is NOT part of the ftp directory... there is no where to FTP into it.. its either DOS box telnet style system command, or web-interfact written in php to interact with the DB
the upload has a browse button, crashes my computer for indexing a 30+mb file, and then tries to post the form data...
it doesn't happen

 

[phunky.buddha]

That sucks. Just make sure you get all the parts this time.
