Coming back to this discussion - it looks like the test environment has been offline for a while (I've noticed a 502 Gateway error for > 1 month now).
We're having a discussion inside the forums admin/mod team about how we might move this forward without worrying about migrating the existing content - in the interests of making some progress.
Apologies for being quiet here, but I am planning on moving right now, so I couldn't move this any further, I will be able to get back into it in October.
No worries, Jake - I know how moving is. :)
This was additionally delayed because I did not get an answer about postgres user and database for a while, so I couldn't even setup an old db for our discourse setup to use. That's why it has been stuck on 502 for this long.
That's good to know. I set up my own instance to look at, so the forums team will be able to access it and work on the structure.
When it comes to the migration, I was thinking it may be a good idea to notify the people whose data won't be migrated (blog and articles creators) that they should ask us for backup of their posts. This can be done earlier, assuming nobody will post new blog posts or articles.
That sounds good. I don't know that we're using that functionality a lot anyways.
But I think it would also inform our discussion to know if anything more has happened with the database migration - and if there's a way for us to get back into the sandbox system to see what structure was able to be built out (I know Discourse only allows categories and sub-categories, but no further levels of sub-categories can be created, which means 2 levels rather than 3, as we have now).
As it works right now, it removes the third layer entirely, so we are left with language categories and topic subcategories.
That's good to know. I think that probably makes sense, and was the direction that I was thinking in playing around with my isolated configuration. Good luck with your move! -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
