Simpleboard 1.0.4 beta2 is o-u-t!

Riba · 26.01.2005, 23:52

Delayed almost as Longhorn, more anticipated in suspense than Doom 3....

...the wait is over, the beast is unleashed!

Check the details on http://tsmf.jigsnet.com!

Major highlights include:
- removed support for com_userinfo
- added support for myPMS Pro
- added an option to show latest posts since last visit
- added an option to completely disable smileys (graphic emoticons)
- a number of changes in the posting screen. The size of the input area is once again based on pixels!
- moved the textarea setting to fontend tab
- fixed the problem with foreign characters in notification mails and RSS feeds
- removed boardcode enabled / html disabled lines from posting screen since they served no real purpose
- reverted to the old 1.0.2 behavior to automatically redirect after posting
- added Community Builder integration
- added an option to select where to pick avatar pictures from (sb, myPMS Pro or Community Builder)
- forum now displays in Opera as it does in other browsers
- introduced a new CSS class sb_catname for category names
- added message filtering through badwords component; unfinished and not very good at the moment due to badwords limitations but may serve some users
- flood control in not enforced any longer if user is editing a message, and not actually posting a new one
- fixed the preview problem with IE and mod_login, thanks to "jmiba"
- added template support for message view
- added HTML checks for subject, email and name fields -> fixes javascript vulnerabilities!
- removed "subscribe me" option from edit window since it never worked anyway..
- added Mambo version checks which enable SB to be installed on various Mambo versions
- link autoactivation (no need to use [url] bbcode for properly formatted addesses)
- major cleanup for XHTML compliancy

Test the new features and report the bugs/problems to tracker on mamboforge.

I love you

(ok that was a bit much maybe,
but today has been so many good news:
forge is up and doing fine so far;
mosmedia free lite version, now this..
let me just say THANKS!!! then

)

one question:
(as the forge dates seem a bit wacky..)
any changes in the bot/modules?
thx

I was already proposed if I do a sex change.

The new & improved modules are soon to follow!

What about upgrading...just copy new files over old ones?

Riba · 27.01.2005, 00:50

Hey, don't you read the tsmf home page? There is even an upgrade package for people who want to do it manually.

jomaco1 · 27.01.2005, 00:53

LOL...I was already on my way over. I just thought I would get it out because I know it will be asked at least a dozen times!

First impressions after manual upgrade:
-file upload via FTP went smoothly (lol..)
-as per instructions, open config, save
-reopen, check "integration" tab: cool, a link to create CB profile links! use that.. oups, I get kicked out of config and the rest of the changes are not saved!?
-go back, change settings, save
-now, on the Simpleboard Control Panel page, I have a problem: it still says:
Installed version: 1.0.4-Beta1 and there's still a link to "/index2.php?option=com_simpleboard&task=upgradetabl es" with the title upgrade db to v1.0.4 beta 1.. a bit confusing..
-check the frontend: ok here: Simpleboard Forum Component 1.0.4-Beta2-MU
-posting works, looks good... how to change the template..? to a traditional, profile-on-the-left layout..? no link, no hint, will do some research tomorrow..ok, I am tired: of course it's in the "frontend" config settings, "default" is da one..
(oups, BUG!? I went to "edit CSS", hit cancel, now I am presented with the forums/cats list? Dunno if this is expected behaviour, I would expect to go back to control panel..)
-profile forum settings work nicely, good job!
-in profile over posts, why is the Posts:1 bar/graphic so thick, as compared to the rank graphic? looks weird..

Anyway: it all works, looks good, so thanks a lot and GOOD NIGHT!
