New requirements

The new system requirements to run FUDforum is:

  • PHP 5.2.3 or higher (PHP 5.1 will no longer be supported!).
  • MySQL 5.0.7 or higher (support for other databases will remain unchanged).

New features

  • Static forum pages for content pages like adding "Contacts" or "About Us" pages.
  • Admins can change the firing order of plugins.
  • Detect and auto-login web crawlers (see Spider Manager).
  • Global announcements (show announcements on front page).
  • Nested sub-forums.
  • Allow uploading of multiple attachments in one go.
  • Display Custom Profile Fields in user's profile (if allowed).
  • Allow anonymous users to vote (grant "Can Vote" to "Anonymous" in the Groups Manager to enable).
  • Log more ACP and Group Manager actions. For example, banning and unbanning of users, attempts to clear the forum's error and action logs, etc.
  • Don't show failed passwords in the Action Log Viewer. Only say password failed - not what the user typed in.
  • Cron.php can now run from command line or web (if copied to a web accessible directory).
  • Add option to use a fixed email address when synchronizing forum replies to a mailing list (patch by mguillaume).
  • Add colour-highlighting for quoted text (lines starting with '>') in ML and NNTP imported messages.
  • Option to format forum messages as MIME encoded posts before sending them to a newsgroup (default is UUencoded - development sponsored by James).
  • Introduce new PRE_TEMPLATE and POST_TEMPLATE hooks (handy for capturing and processing theme output (patch by Dayo).
  • Don't import E-mail/Usenet posts from banned users.
  • New POST_BACKUP hook, Dropbox.plugin and Ftp_backup.plugin for storing backup files off-site.

Theme changes

Default templates were updated to HTML5 and indented to make it easier to read and understand.

  • Add "Cancel" button on Post Page.
  • List forums in compact category as expanded when category is opened (see mock-up).
  • Document BBcode for wrapping of text around images in the FAQ/Help pages (patch by The Witcher).
  • Hide the "Register" link if user registrations are disabled.
  • The User Info Left/Right themes will now properly show geo-location flags.

  • Support for Microsoft SQL Server databases.
  • Support for Firebird databases.
  • Slave database support for replicated MySQL databases (by eclipsewebmaster)
  • Database host:port support for PostgreSQL (by mguillaume).
