I need an opinion - I've hit a slight hurdle. The vBulletin code we are running in Provo is version 4.2.2, so quite old. It is so old it does not work with php 7.2, only older. (I haven't actually tried, that is what google tells me).
I think we have three, maybe four options -
a) upgrade vBulletin to the latest, cost USD249. May or may not make the migration easier, but at least we'd have an up-to-date platform.
b) run the current 4.2.2 version, but on php7.0 or 7.1 - I don't know if we have packages available for Leap15.1. Might not be difficult to build.
c) run the current 4.2.2 version, on Leap 42.3 with php7.0 - which I guess does not go well with our SLA.
d) switch to something else, e.g. discourse. Apart from migrating the current contents, this is easy. I don't know what the forum admins would say to losing the contents.
What's your vote?
Hi From my perspective, the software to use is something you folks are happy to maintain etc, but if we are voting (and secure funding) then it would be (a) just for continuity's sake :) What about the user logins (~40K), will the users need to login to the openSUSE SSO solution? Will this SSO integrate with vB? If the solution decided by you folks is not vB, I'm also assuming the current data can be available as a read only vB archive in it's final state.... -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) Tumbleweed 20200125 | GNOME Shell 3.34.3 | 5.4.13-1-default Intel DQ77MK MB | Xeon E3-1245 V2 X8 @ 3.40 GHz | Intel/Nvidia up 1 day 13:05, 2 users, load average: 0.28, 0.27, 0.55 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
