@Per, so if we stood up an archive version of the Forum on say Leap 15.1 and made it read only, that would work?
You mean as a collection of static pages, dished out by a webserver? Yes, that would work for me, no probs.
Hi Well the vB software, database and searchable?
I can only get vB running if we buy a license to the latest version.
Hi OK, understood :)
So, we really need to obtain a license and move to the latest version, which will retain all the data etc.
AFAIK darix mentioned at the offsite meeting that a migration of existing data to discord is doable, but I don't know any technical details. I'll add another, probably controversal idea: If we find a volunteer who _quickly_ migrates everything to discord (as soon as we have the forums moved to NBG), would the PHP in SLE 12 be old enough for the current vBulletin version? (Obviously this really should only be used as a temporary solution - running the old vBulletin version for a longer time is not a good idea.)
Since there will be no single sign on, then I'm assuming the vB login system will be used then?
I'd prefer to keep the forums integrated in the single sign on. I only know the forums from the "outside view", but my guess (based on how the login is done today) is that they use the login proxy - which we also [1] use for the wikis and some other services in Nuremberg. Per, AFAIK you already got the files for the forums. Can you please have a look how the login is done? If grep -r HTTP_X_USERNAME gives you a result, then it's really using the login proxy. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] Technically it's different software, but to the webapp it looks the same - the webapp sees some HTTP headers with username etc. -- There is a limit to the value of statistics.
