Thanks Ben!
FlexBB 0.6.3 was released late last night!
Major Feature Changes
- Polls
This is basically the one and only feature of 0.6.3. And, the features of the Poll feature are limited. But basically: you can post polls, and vote on them. There are permissions in the Admin CP for each User Group to be able to post and vote on polls. All the poll data is in one MySQL row, cutting back on the MySQL load.
- Thread Icons
I have now included thread icons when you view a forum. There can be up to 4 thread icons. They are the following:
If the thread is locked.
If the thread is stickied.
If the thread contains attachments.
If the thread contains a poll.
This may be too cluttered, and I may decide to delete the lock and sticky icons in the future.
- New Readme
Yay! It's been more than 10 versions since I've updated the Readme, so I thought it was about time. Now it's a nice looking HTML Readme! I'll hopefully edit the Readme each version, but no promises!
Minor Feature Changes
- Big Fixes
Just a few bug fixes were added to this version. Including some corrupt links in the Admin CP.
Template Modifications
The following templates have been modified in this version. We advise you to compare the templates to yours to make sure you don't need to change yours.
fdisplay-thread.template.html
header.template.html
new-thread.template.html
thread-top.template.html
The following images have been added:
misc/locked.gif
misc/poll.gif
misc/sticky.gif
MySQL Changes
ALTER TABLE `flexbb_threads` ADD `poll` INT( 1 ) NOT NULL ;
CREATE TABLE `flexbb_polls` (
`id` INT( 50 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`title` VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL ,
`options` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`votes` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`voters` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`threadid` INT( 50 ) NOT NULL
) ENGINE = innodb;
Next Version's Goals
Hopefully in the next version we will have the following large feature:
- MySQL Query Optimization
That's all for now! You can
Download this new version by going to our Download Section. Comments are appreciated!
We hope you enjoy the newly-added features in this version of FlexBB.
Comments and suggestions are apprecuated.
Kind Regards,
Lewis
//EDIT:
A lot of confusion about FlexBB's time has been going around.
During DST, you must use GMT+1 if you live in the UK. When DST is over and the clocks go back, you must change your time settings back to the normal GMT+.
This is because FlexBB is NOT Daylight Savings Time compatible at this present time.
We are sorry if this caused any complications at all to you and your members of your FlexBB forum.
King Regards,
