Yup, I brought the Publishing Suite when it was pre-release, so we have an indefinite license, and although I can’t remember exactly what I paid, it was that list price!!
So a massive heads up. I have Thursday and Friday of this week pencilled in to a complete upgrade to the entire X.teamphoenixrising.net site structure.
I’ve done a test run of the upgrade, and there is a lot of new stuff and a lot of things for me to sort.
Task List
Complete default install of the software from an upgrade of the current database. Open to live status at default to check functionality.
Configure the CMS and blog settings with the current usergroups. This is the bit I’m at the moment most unsure about, but let’s just fly with it and see
Template changes - see what can be done to port the current template. I expect these changes to be done on Friday, little tweaks here and there, so a changing forum day - every view could be different
This will affect all users, there will be considerable downtime, but we will have a lot of new features, new sets that I hope will help with an intended recruitment drive with a few deals I’m doing :Plot:
Any questions, fire away. I’ll be offline most of Wednesday and Thursday, meetings Wednesday and annoying Bullseye on Thursday + about 500 miles of driving :driving:
it might be a little risky to attempt this today now, I’ll see how this status holds up from the server providers
Network Interruptions

We are currently experiencing some connectivity issues to servers on the following ip range 62.105.77.1-254. Our engineers are aware of the issue and are currently working to resolve this as quickly as possible.
first sets of testing went fine, my dummy run was ok eventually but now I know which bits need to be done in what order for the big upgrade. Thanks to the network outage, it’s left me short on time and energy today, so tomorrow it is then
The complete forums move/upgrade begins. As we have the publishing suite software the entire site will now start to move to the www.teamphoenixrising.net address to make use of the CMS sections to allow a much fuller content approach.
It’s taken and taking a while, there’s just so much to do :eek:
welcome back - a lot to do in the CMS section and some work required on some of the templates with colour clashing, but we are alive again and I’ve not completely trashed it :lol:
I think I’ve got all the missing images and stuff as everything had to move from the subdomain to accomdate the full suite of blogs, cms etc if you spot the famous then let me know please
A couple of the attachments in the rogue’s gallery aren’t showing now DT. I tidied the thread up the other day for broken links (before upgrade) and they were showing then
Maybe consider losing the grey outer backgound in fav of black think it looks more TPR ish IMV
Keep up the good work :D[/QUOTE]
nice find, I looked around for styles yesterday on vbulletin.org to basically try and find an “old skool” skin :lol: The new variables method of managing templates will make it much easier to manage multiple options, something we’ve always wanted to do. Some prefer the black/gold of old, some the blue/grey of new and we have a massive number of other options.
As a rough guide, I think we should look at a maximum number of options, perhaps 6 seems reasonable Thoughts?
Logo with the new style updated to be in white, I’m quite liking this style now, TPR-BlueSteel for those looking at the other more “default” variations.
then let me know please 
so I’m back
