For SpaceNut re #25
I updated admin_groups.php this evening. Please try it again when you get a chance tomorrow (after replacing those brake pads)
I don't expect it to work but it might. Please collect any symptoms you can if if fails.

I think I know why the word search isn't working in Azure ... I couldn't upload the word table. Azure timed out on me every time I tried it. That is a huge table, and I knew it was not on the critical path at the time. What I ** think ** I just discovered is that the clone is starting to rebuild the table. The search works correctly on my development PC, where the word table is fully restored. This evening, I asked for "fluxbb" and the clone found it in a recent post, so I think we can set the word search issue aside. If I get a chance (and Azure holds up for me) I might try reloading the word table, but actually, that would probably not be the best use of my time. The purpose of the exercise is (a) to help you to practice Admin functions and (b) to give kbd512 the evidence he needs to install the updated forum at Mars Society. That is a ** big ** step and we need to be confident everything is working. I don't thing we are ** there ** yet.

For SpaceNut ... as a follow up to the report on the word search ...
I checked the Azure word table and it contains 102708 rows...
Then I checked the same table in the development PC, and there are 373692 rows.
The Azure upload cut of with just over a quarter of the words it should contain.
Because it found fluxBB today, I think it is rebuilding itself. I don't think it is worth any more time.

For SpaceNut re Server Statistics for Clone...
AISE objected to something in the original post...
Server statistics
Server load
0 . 0 1 0 . 0 4 0 . 0 0 - 5 u s e r(s) o n l i n e
Environment
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14 - Show info

Database
MySQL Improved 8.0.36

I solved the AISE objection by copying the text to a text editor, deleting the text from Preview, and then adding each line back.
The problem line turned out to be the report of online users.
The comparable report from the Mars Society NewMars is must less revealing. I'm sure this is for security reasons.
SpaceNut, is your report a bit more detailed? Don't post it if it is... please send it to me by email. I'd like to see what the operating conditions are for the existing package.

Not sure where the statics are coming from but will see what I can later.

I have been able to add a new forum user category as In "InActive" and did set it to require it to pass the newly registered to get back to a normal state. The user can be selected and placed into this group from the admin controls in the user list functions within the clone environment.
Offline
To identify I must remove the ban on the members that are to be moved and then I must change the group that the user is a part of. Most of these are members once we restore the ability and allow for a couple posts so as to stop spamming accounts that remain.
I have tested the ban and remove functions and will need to change the user admin messages as well.

Thank you for trying the setup for InActive members on the clone!
I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I logged in just now to report that OpenAI appears to have lost my connection to ChatGPT4. Only ChatGPT 3.5 is available.
I was billed for ChatGPT4 last month, right on time, so the billing system hasn't forgotten me.
I am ** really ** disappointed, because we are in the final stages of cleaning up the clone.
However, as it happens, I am not aware of any new bug reports.
Let's leave the MySQL report in place at the bottom of each page. it shows how much of our 1 Gb or RAM that MySQL is consuming. I haven't seen any over 600 Mb, but most appear to be over 500 Mb.

For SpaceNut re nice changes at the Clone...
The new InActive member option looks good! I just glanced at it and will test it later this weekend.
Thanks for giving me a promotion at the clone! The Admin options screen worked perfectly! It is amazing that those pesky little parentheses could cause such difficulty.
Now, if you find anything else in the Admin functions I'll be able to work on it right away.

This post is intended to show a Project Plan for Conversion from FluxBB 1.5.11 to FluxBB 1.5.12 at the Mars Society.
The plan was prepared by ChatGPT 3.5, filling in for ChatGPT4 which seems to have gone away.
I had a subscription to ChatGPT4, and we have been working on the FluxBB upgrade since November of 2023. However, two days ago it went away, and there are no available pathways to get it back. I am guessing a massive software change took place at OpenAI.com, and I got caught in the backwash.
In any case, ChatGPT 3.5 agreed to try to fill in, and this report shows it may be able to pick up the ball...
Work Plan for Upgrading FluxBB 1.5.11 to 1.5.12
1. Backup
Backup Files and Database: Before starting the upgrade process, ensure you have backups of your files and database to revert to in case of any issues.
2. Download and Extract FluxBB 1.5.12
Download: Get the latest version of FluxBB 1.5.12 from NewMars Azure clone site.
Extract Files: Extract the contents of the downloaded archive.
3. Update Configuration
Update config.php: Modify the configuration file to match your production environment, including setting the version to 1.5.12.
4. Set Permissions
Set File Permissions: Ensure correct permissions for files and directories in the FluxBB folder for the web server to access them.
<snip>
6. Database Update
Update Database Version: Change the version in the configuration table of your production database from 1.5.11 to 1.5.12.
7. Rename Folders
Rename Existing Folder: Rename the current forums folder in the production environment to "oldforum" for backup.
Rename New Folder: Rename the FluxBB updated folder to "forums".
8. Restart Apache
Restart Apache: Restart the Apache server to apply changes.
9. Testing and Validation
Test Forum: Thoroughly test the forum to ensure all functionalities are working as expected.
Announce the Upgrade: Inform forum users about the upgrade and any changes they might notice.
Remember to double-check each step and proceed with caution. If any issues arise, you can always refer back to your backups.

This post is about a small enhancement that I've long wanted, but which was out of reach before now...
http://40.75.112.55/forums/FluxBB/searc … how_recent
The show_recent search appears to be fixed at 24 hours. I'd like to be able to increase that time to some larger value.
This post is a reminder to look at the search.php file to see how show_recent determines the duration of the seach interval.
There may even be a field already defined to hold the search duration.

For SpaceNut re cleanup of FluxBB 1.5.11 PHP files...
Inteliphense found an item to fix in admin_forums... The fix involved adding a set of parentheses.
I'll be updating the version on Azure shortly.

For SpaceNut re cleanup of FluxBB 1.5.11 PHP files ...
The work is going faster than at first expected... a number of files are not generating errors...
We have reviewed 18 of 103 files, or 17%
***
Just FYI ... kbd512 checked the environment at Mars Society, and did not find the current PHP .... that implies the updated PHP might have to be installed to support the updated FluxBB package.
*** update later ... progress was satisfactory this evening work session... most PHP files tested were clean.
One or two needed very minor correction, such as adding apostrophes or parentheses.
I am starting to learn the correct syntax for some of the situations Inteliphese finds, but others still require ChatGPT 3.5's insight.
ChatGPT4 remains unavailable ....
