View Full Version : Website Maintance
hi all, im going to doing a patch for the boards probably next week as theres been a infiltration in 4.2.3 so best doing it soon
also ill be adding some new feature to the site over the next few months to try, ill let you know in this thread when im doing it as there will be some down time to do the things
ill be adding a shout box, auto repayments for membership, gallery type albums, maybe a games section to play and get a high score on the list lol, as i say these will be over the next few months and anything else i can find to work with the site for FREE:agree:
im adding a chatbox soon please be patient as it got loads of settings:eek::eek:
also i will be patching 4.2.3 as theres a security floor
would anyone be interested in old games?? like asteroids etc
high scores are logged with the user so some bragging could be had ket me know ive downloaded it but need to test first

Yes! Bit of old arcade action!:D
Haha, awesome :agree:
Oi, what about the broken link to the contacts section! :D
http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?41282
sorted trev if you hadn't noticed boss:agree:
You da man :ujack:
Incidentally that contacts section is excellent with its icons and such. :agree:
just playing now lol on the games ill up link in mo:agree:
heres link to test it also theres a SHOUTBOX adding permissions now for usergroups
REMEMBER this is the test site duplicate
http://dev.rtoc.org/boards/arcade.php
u will be asked for auth use these user oldsite pass 123456
then use your normal logins if it dont work for you let me know i may have missed the permissions for that usergroup
theres 1000's more games i can add too
let me know feedback wise:agree:
Ok, I'm now the guy with the most high scores :D
Some really cool games Mick!
I wouldn't add 100's of games though, maybe have 20 to start with? Otherwise the high-level leaderboards become a bit meaningless as some might search for games that haven't been played, play once, get a high score, do that a few times and be at the top. I mean, it's not what I did like :laugh:
Found one bug. Moonlander closes itself before you get chance to submit your score.
yh i think so too just keep it to maybe 20 games total, ya need a url to download them so were lucky we have
sorry bout that down time but we are now all upto date on patches 4.2.3 patch 2 now so security is better :laugh::laugh:
ill start adding other things later this was most important for now:coffee:
added a few more games
high scores not kept as im testing
now working here with a tab on navbar too
http://www.rtoc.org/boards/arcade.php
ill be adding more vb4 features as i go too:cooter:
ok looks like ive got to shut site down again to move to a new server this is mainly because paypal is changing there systems which affect us, i will need to do this very soon as there systems start on 30 sept, if its not done by them ill have to shut shop and stop payments from the forum as we will not receive payments using paypal
regards mick

it will be we are running a new server and a better php which speeds things up, we had to swap server as paypal demands needed it so all good now till jan 2018 when i may need to do a minor mod
we are still with nimbus too as they are 5*

to add if we ran it on php 7 it would be even faster but currently vb4 isnt php7 compatible also all the code in scoffs external pages would need to be re written as it not compatible either:crap:

looks like v4 4.2.5 will support php7 might have to test it once out its unstable atm so not work testing
downside all scoffs external pages will need to be updated but site will be mega fast:wasntme:
ok just testing vb4.2.5 on dev if all ok ill be upgrading sometime soon to stay up to date
ill let ya know when as site needs around 1 hour of down time:coffee:

Hello Mick,
There appears to be a registry problem with the image hosting service PostImage.
The image URLs are now postimg.cc. Is there any possibility that these URLs can
be searched and replaced within the database, or does everyone who uses this
service have to find and edit all their posts to manually change them? I will have
many, many posts to edit manually otherwise. Here's hoping...
Regards,
Steve

I think Mick is updating so once done should all be good.

The guys from PostImages have posted this on the phpBB Forum...
Please run SQL query to fix image URLs
SELECT ALL
UPDATE `phpbb_posts` SET `post_text` = replace(post_text, 'postimg.cc', 'postimg.cc');
UPDATE `phpbb_posts` SET `post_text` = replace(post_text, 'postimg.cc', 'postimg.cc');
If your table prefix is not 'phpbb_' replace appropriately.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve

You should be able to build the search / replace query automatically in phpMyAdmin.
On my database it constructed this...
UPDATE `phpbb3_posts` SET `post_text` = REPLACE(`post_text`, 'postimg.org', 'postimg.cc') WHERE `post_text` LIKE '%postimg.org%' COLLATE utf8mb4_bin
HaHaHa - beat me to it :rolleyes:

Steve
