Survivalmonkey Resource Manager

    We've been in the process of trying to consolidate our collection of files since our move from the old forum software. We purchased the xenforo Resource Manager at a pre sale last year but have been putting off the tedious job of moving everything into it.

    Yesterday we moved 40+ threads (by hand) and the results are pretty slick so far.

    Each thread in Survival Downloads is now becoming a Resource here: Resources | Survival Monkey Forums which is also a tab in the navigation bar at the top of any page. The old Survival Downloads Forum is now closed to 'New Threads' so please use the RM for all future uploads. (a nod to @Dont). Please experiment and let me know if you run into any problems

    When you open a Resource or the discussion thread associated with it, you see that you can toggle back and forth between the 2 with the tabs at the top of that post:

    The 'resource' view

    The 'discussion' view

    The category list will allow you to quickly locate items of interest.

    The review system is great and we encourage you to use it. You select a rating and enter some review text which displays in a few different areas:

    Here's the review displayed at the bottom of the page.

    Oh yeah, in the How To's category, there is an option to not upload a file which then makes the body of the post the 'resource'.
    So you could create a 'How To' on making a leather sheath as a resource.

    We are going to be pretty well organized in another week or 2

    Thankyou for your efforts melbo. As tedious as the process may be, we will all benefit from it, and it will make posting, finding, and evaluating reference resources so much easier.

    I'd prefer to be referred to as the Facilitator...
    There are many others here that do much more and on a more consistent basis than me.

    Our quest is for SM to be the information archive for all things survival. This means that files should always be available, images should never go bad and links should always be good. We also strive to make the site an enjoyable place for our members.

    Thanks

    I may have confused people with the fact that the 'old' Downloads forum is closed to new threads. All new file Resources now get entered through the Resource Manager and it creates a new thread automatically in what was formerly called Survival Downloads and is now called Resource Discussions

    input and output:
    Resources | Survival Monkey Forums

    secondary output:
    Resource Discussions | Survival Monkey Forums
