New Developer Forums
Hi all,
As you may have noticed, the developer forums have now been fully integrated into the echo.nextapp.com web site. Please take note of the following:
- All forum accounts have been migrated to the echo.nextapp.com site. Passwords have been reset. To obtain a password, use the "Request New Password" feature by CLICKING HERE. If this does not work for you (e.g., you no longer own the email account with which you registered), please e-mail .
- All echo.nextapp.com user accounts were deleted. This was necessary to accommodate the forum accounts and avoid any conflicts. Most people were not using this feature yet in any case.
- All attachments have been migrated to the new site.
- Private messages have been migrated to the new site.
- A search feature has been enabled. This will search the entirety of the echo.nextapp.com site, including the forums. Advanced search will let you further customize your search / restrict searched areas. You must be logged in to search.
Please report any problems you experience in the "Open Discussion", or email if you're unable to even do that.
Please email if you would like your user name changed.
The forum homepage may be accessed at http://echo.nextapp.com/site/forum

Forum issues
There seems to be a few issues with the migration of old posts to the new forums:
1. some attachments are missing
2. links to other forum posts have been lost
E.g, see http://echo.nextapp.com/site/node/3655.
The attachment is missing - just refers to [attachmentid=485], and the "same problem as SelectField" link should reference a forum post, but references http://forum.nextapp.com/forum instead.
Also, how can I get email notification for a single topic?
My apologies on the
My apologies on the attachments issue, I thought they had migrated successfully. I've just now created this page:
/site/forum/oldattachments
that contains a complete list of attachments. You should be able to find all attachments there based on those ids.
I'm not sure what I can do about the inter-forum links at this point. Probably the search engine is the only option, that data is not present in the migration (think/hope this did not affect all forum links).
One thing I will note is that the old forum stored data in a horrendous fashion. One would assume it just stored posts in the format entered (BBCode), but it did not.
With regard to the notifications, they're not available yet. I'm waiting for the new release of the subscriptions module: http://drupal.org/node/216922 This should be out fairly soon I believe.
syntax highlighter
Hi Tod,
A lot of code is posted on the forums, so a decent syntax highlighter is a must-have imo. A quick search gave me this one: http://drupal.org/project/geshifilter It looks ok to me, maybe you can have a look into it?
King regards,
Daan
Thanks, that does look
Thanks, that does look pretty good.
I'm probably going to upgrade this site to Drupal 6 in the fairly near future, and will probably give this a shot then.
