General site updates, TODO list and discussion

The cronjob to restart Omnom is on cw, backups aren't operational yet (I have no idea how to download everything to my server).

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Ok this time when the bot cron job ran, it failed to connect to Omninet. Only Freenode/EFnet syncs with Omnom right now. Seems like it might need to retry connecting 2-3 times when it fails?

Also good luck with backups X.x

[novenary]

This is an Omnom issue, can't do anything (unless you poke Soru about it).

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Ah ok I was worried the cron job either didn't start correctly or that the bot was banned.

Summary of what needs to be enabled before site opening:

-9:30 PM (4:30 PM GMT-5, 10:30 PM France time)- DJ will approve all members that have signed up by then. I will most likely not be online until about 6-7 hours later.
-11:55 PM or so (6:55 PM GMT-5, 12:55 AM France time) - At http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=admin;area=featuresettings , someone will need to check the "Allow guests to browse the forum" box
-11:55 PM or so - At http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=admin;area=regcenter;sa=settings , the "Method of registration employed for new members" option will have to be changed to "Immediate registration"
-11:55 PM or so - At http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=admin;area=oasl;sa=settings , the "Method of registration employed for new members?" option will have to be changed to "Automatically approve users that registers with Social Login".
-12 AM (7 PM GMT-5, 1 AM France time) - Approve and send e-mail to whoever registered after the initial 9:30 PM GMT wave of account approval.

We are now open for business!

Awesome! Now I removed that counter.

Update:

The online list on the front page was replaced with a custom one that is basically the same as on the board index. I got annoyed at how the default Simpleportal block had a scrollbar when there are more than 7 users online at once and the lack of a setting to make it horizontal.

I also added a second, stripped-down copy just above the Recent Posts page.

EDIT: Signatures now allow 10 images instead of 4, for people with special banners and effects, but mind the board rules and advices.

We now have an IPv6 mod installed, but we have to check if it actually works first, since other people reported problems in the past with it on SMF website. Keep in mind that even with this mod we will probably still continue to have to approve IPv6 users manually when they register, though, and do so as long as Stop Spammer lacks IPv6 support. (When an user registers on CW, it checks Stop Spammer database in case the user IP or e-mail was reported as spammer in the past. If it's unable to find the user IP or if it's suspected to be a bot, then the account will require an admin to validate it)

Yep, now waiting for the next guy who'll visit the site on IPv6... Anyway, no worries, I doubt spammers started using IPv6 for now... (Although I'd like to see one.)

[Dream of Omnimaga]

I hope they won't anytine soon

[Yuki]

Hehe, yeah. Also, this is an IPv6 test. (yay posting from elinks.)

EDIT: Test successful!

[Dream of Omnimaga]

On IRC earlier, you mentionned that your IP was cutoff, though. Is that still the case?

[Yuki]

It was in the error log, probably a bug there but not much people cares about that section. At least the bans should work.

EDIT: Nope. Still doesn't support IPv6 correctly. I think.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

I guess we will have to forget about IPv6 until SMF 2.1 then (if it even comes out in SMF 2.1). The mod we have right now is reportedly buggy. Or you could submit a bug report to the author on SMF board: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=440357.0
