trying to set up a local development site

[rhender]

Hello all,

I hope I am asking this in a decent place to ask it.

I am attempting to set up a development site locally on my computer.

I am using MAMP to run MySQL...

Just saw this again. Thanks again guys on info on upgrading.

Merjawy, thanks so much for those screenshots and invaluable info. You guys are great.

Merjawy, You nailed it. Thanks so much for helping me out and taking the time.

Same to everyone else. Thanks so much for helping me out. I really appreciate it.

Now, I'm just...

[rhender]

yeah, that is the problem I suppose. I am still using version 4.1.4 (that option is not there), because I haven't set up a testing site yet to make sure upgrades don't screw me up.

Would...

[rhender]

Ok, so that took care of the notice, but how about when I click on "community" and the drop down menu appears.

When I hover on that dropdown menu, the background color is still...

[rhender]

Great. THank you!

[rhender]

I'm wanting to change the default yellow color for when you hover on a lot of the links. It is #ffeb90 to be exact.

It's also the background color for the "Be sure to read FAQ if this...

[rhender]

thanks for that link Ace. I will read up now.

So, I am guessing I should probably have a development site for my forum, instead of doing these types of updates live. Correct?

And if so, what is the best way to go about doing that? ...

[rhender]

Just as the topic says. Is there anything I need to worry about before upgrading to the current version?

Will my forum be affected negatively in any way?

[rhender]

Wow, ... that's a little more complicated.

But you make it easy with your instructions. Thanks so much for taking the time to do that. This is exciting getting my forum a little more...

[rhender]

Ok, one more quick one while I'm here.

How do I make it so that, non-members can't see in parentheses, how many people are looking at each forum? Does that make sense?

[rhender]

You are the man! Thank you.....!

[rhender]

How can I do this?

I don't want non-members to be able to view user profiles anymore. THanks!

[rhender]

Holy Hell. It was finally this bit of code that did the trick for me for whatever reason. And I tried everything that I could find on google. I tried probably 10 different versions of this... but this...

[rhender]

Cool. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it. I'm skeptical at first, but then again, I know nothing about it yet... so who knows? ...

[rhender]

Yeah, I just googled it after you asked me if I had it. Do you have it? Is it worth it?

[rhender]

I don't know what that is.. and I don't know if I have it or not. What is it?

[rhender]

Ok, thanks.

I deleted the .htaccess file again, and everything is back to the way it was before... so at least the non www version is back. SO that's good. I'll keep trying.
...

[rhender]

Ok, yeah, I read the info in that link and pasted the code into my .htaccess file... same problem.

I don't know why, but it does not seem to be working for me, and I now don't have access...
