It turns out that the AJAX-based news feed that I had on the front page for a couple of days was causing IE to fail to load the page properly about half the time. The fade in effect was nice but I'm guessing people would rather just have something that works. I've replace with a newer scroll news feed that I've tested on everything I easily have access to. Please let me know if you see any problems. ]]> dhyatt http://carypolitics.org/forums/blog.php?b=4 http://carypolitics.org/forums/blog.php?b=3 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:32:27 GMT Well, once again, Thank you, Don.

Things are moving along albeit slower that I'd like. Article comments seem to be working and most login / logout issues seems to be resolved. There are still issues with banner placement on <1280x1024 screens and ability for users to submit articles for front page publication is still in the works. ]]> dhyatt http://carypolitics.org/forums/blog.php?b=2 http://carypolitics.org/forums/blog.php?b=1 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:55:00 GMT Well folks, it wasn't nearly as straightforward as I had hoped and there will continue to be a few lingering issues but the new site is up and working. Syncing users between Joomla and vBulletin is quite a task and I finally resorted to modifying a version of the jFusion Login Module to make it all work. Uploading the forum database after converting to vBuletin proved especially tedious due to the size of the sql file involved. Conversion of articles from the old site also required modifying a module called ezphpnuke (which wasn't so easy) and then cleaning up the articles after they were imported because the Joomla article editor is much more strict about the internal markup of the document. Though there is still work to be done, this has proved to be an educational and worthwhile effort. I'd like to thank everyone again that donated to help make this part of the Cary Politics happen. As an aside, I can tell you that much of the work would have been considerably easier if I was dealing only my own dedicated server. Moving large sql files around in a shared hosting environment is problematic at best. ]]> dhyatt http://carypolitics.org/forums/blog.php?b=1
