xcore.com update
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2017 4:56 pm
Hi everyone,
xcore.com is currently running Drupal integrated with phpBB for forums - both are in urgent need of an update. Before I make that update however, I’d like to get your feedback on some changes I’m proposing.
The forum is the place people go 99% of the time when using the site. Rather than spend the loads of time and effort to update Drupal, phpBB and reintegrate back together again, I’d like to simply ditch Drupal and make the phpBB Forum the entire site.
There are a few things that Drupal is currently being used to provide on xcore.com:
Projects - this would be copied to an area within the forum
Groups - this would also be copied to an area within the forum
Friends - dropped (we know who our friends are, we don't need to display it here)
User Profiles - functionality to be handled by phpBB
Private Messages - functionality to be handled by phpBB
Points - dropped (will simply use post count and registered-on-site age to denote users experience and activity level)
I don't have any plans to change the site design or anything, at this time.
Does anyone have any reason to not push ahead with these changes?
Regards,
Miguel
