As you probably noticed extend is up with limited functionality Due to the upgrade of forums,
The forum system is our authentication system. It maintains all the users so the site has a single sign on. The migration caused us to have to accept some change with it. One of those being that forum userids have changed.
Unfortunately extend used the IDs extensively for authentication, file storage and ratings.
I have made progress on updating extend to the new forum users. Aside from about 20 missing users which we will have to assign a new arbitrary account to.
One of the only issues left is that file storage is based on userid named folder hierarchy. So my plugins are here for example.
...extend/export/7313/347/sa-tags.zip
7313 being my old forum id.
To get this fixed asap we want to rename all folders to new IDs, its the easiest and permanent solution.
my new files would be here
...extend/export/1878/347/sa-tags.zip
Now anyone that linked to these files will wind up with broken links, I would assume most people link to their extend page, which will continue to work.
So i am looking for input on this change, any further insight anyone has is welcome.
We believe this is the last hurdle to getting extend back up with admin capability. There is still a small authentication issue to address but that should be it.
