JP1 Remotes

I might be writing something stupid, but what if you don't know about deepseek? It can be a great help when updating your codebase. I'm not very familiar with PHP, but if things are really bad and no one more experienced is willing to take on the task, I'm willing to give it a try.

I guess I'm going to have to explore more anti-spam measures for the new forum as I've had more spam posts than regular posts, so far. Maybe the old VIP mod that I had before was better than we knew, that was the one that made people answer a question when they registered. I see that there is an extension that does something similar.

As for the PHP question, if anyone wants to help, the challenge is updating the following phpbb extension so that it is compatible with PHP 8.4 and phpbb 3.3.15:

While I haven't used Deekseek before, I made extensive use of Copilot to get the forum and the wiki back online, in fact there's no way I could have done it with it, and I will be using it to try and update pafiledb too.

I've installed my first "extension", which is what we use instead of "mods" to add new functionality, and that ext adds a link to the wiki up next to the quick links. I've also updated the search restrictions so you can use the "*" wildcard in the Author spot to search for posts over the last X number of days.

Here's a link for new posts from the last 7 days, if you want to bookmark it. You may remember we used to have a "7 days" link in the old forum:

Does anyone else see the bold red line around the logo when you visit the Wiki? I expect the red lines that I see, in the screenshot below, are an artifact of when I was installing the wiki, but I haven't figured out how to get rid of them yet.

No I do not get them when i just logged into the wiki

Mine looks fine. I do see the same apparent shade of red for the animation of the IR signal.

Wiki login worked for me, Rob. Just had to change password to meet the length requirements. Still have all my permissions.

So, Rob is there anything left of your original home screen, with origin story of jp-1, the photos of remotes and advanced code list?

Stepping in here. Do you mean this one? The "more info" links to the wiki.

Yes, that was it, thanks.

Thanks for bringing the forum back to life!

I have just created a temporary script which should make any links to files in the old file section work. You won't see the "view file" page, you will go straight to the download, but you'll get the file.

Here is an example:

And that's a good example too, because it's a link to a list of files in the file section.

Hi Rob, I am so glad to have this forum back. I have worked hard to be self-sufficient, but really find that I still need the support that this forum gives.

I was wondering about the timeout limit. It usually takes me a long time to craft a post to get my meaning across. It seems that when try to post a more complicated question, when I hit SUBMIT I am taken back to the login screen.

Hey Vicky, and I'm glad to have you back too, we've missed you. As for a posting time limit, I don't have that feature turned on, so the best I can guess is that you're exceeding the time limit for the session itself. Just how long are we talking about here, a couple of minutes or a couple of hours? Sessions currently are good for 1 hour.

It usually takes me about an hour to craft a post. I need to look away and then come back and re-read it to make sure I can understand it. Then I want to make sure I have included all the information needed so we don't have to play twenty questions. Now that I know there is a one hour time limit I'll just write my post in notepad, and then copy and paste it when I am ready.
