Edit boxes empty intermittently after forum move

The "chatter" says 5.4 support may never materialize for vB 4.2.x series as IB is pushing vB5 Connect. But vB5 Connect has its own [significant] problems and it'll take a long while before...

[Ville]

I looked at those links and it turned out that the problem was "special characters" in the messages (since I run a Finnish board, the "special characters" that aren't so special for...

Is vB 5 Connect fully 5.4 compliant? I could upgrade..

I just moved my forums (CMS 4.2.0 PL2) onto a new server. The old server ran CentOS with PHP 5.3.3 and MySQL 5.1, the new one is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with PHP 5.4.11 and MySQL 5.5. The move went smoothly,...

I noticed that I'm using a mixed set of UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 on my site.. the database is in UTF-8, collation in Latin1, and the data being stored is ISO-8859-1.

As I'm straightening it out...

Ok, thanks! I'll have to wait then a bit to get a Mac before I proceed with the mobile license.

[Ville]

Perhaps this is in a FAQ somewhere, or already answered; if so, please point me there.

A simple question: Do I need to have a Mac to post the iPhone version to the Apple Store? In other words,...

[Ville]

That might work, especially since everything in the app will communicate with its custom back-end via Ajax (so there's no issue with posting back). Thanks for the tip; I'll give it a try!...

[Ville]

Bump.

To simplify the question: is there a way for a page that is served outside of vBCMS (during the same session) to know whether the user is logged in or not?

[Ville]

I upgraded my forum today to 4.1.1. Everything seemed to go well, but once the upgrade was complete, posting to a thread would result in a blank screen. I reverted back to 4.1.0 PL1 (code and database)...

[Ville]

Is it possible to run "external" code "inside" of the vBCMS? Basically I'd like to run a more complex, custom app in a sub-directory of the site that is otherwise served by vB CMS....

[Ville]

Is there a way to have the subforum links open in a new window/tab.

In 3.x I modified Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, forumhome_forumbit_level2_post, forumhome_subforumbit_post,...

Is there a way to somehow access YUI onload functionality?

I'm using embed.ly to auto-embed various media types on the forums, and for it to work I need to include embed.ly code in the...

[Ville]

Got it! Thanks Valadur!

[Ville]

I'm finally upgrading to 4.1, and while doing so I noticed that the "Main CSS" is now obsolete and "for reference only". So where do I now add custom/additional CSS definitions? ...

[Ville]

Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I did search, but perhaps I didn't use the right keywords. After some 20 mins I gave up (many other things to do, too ) and posted a question instead as, I figured,...

[Ville]

I played with the rewrites for a while. It doesn't seem that there is a solid way to get the different subfolder to work for the forums... after all, the configuration here at vbulletin.com seems to be...

[Ville]

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I was wondering if mod_rewrite might be in use here. It would be an ok solution as I use similar technique for custom paths with other CMSes (primarily Expression Engine..)....

[Ville]

How can I install vB in /forums subfolder while CMS would be at the site root (like www.vbulletin.com & www.vbulletin.com/forum)? I've seen mentions to instructions on this site on how to accomplish...

[Ville]

I'm sure sale of vB/Jelsoft to IB was a very good deal for those that held stake in the company (i.e. made them a lot of money), but at the same time it was seen by the users as sell-out which, no matter...
