UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums News and Releases Announcements Version 6.2 Beta Release 1.0 released

Version 6.2 Beta Release 1.0 has been released to the Member Area.

UBB.threadsâ„¢ 6.2 Beta Release 1.0 is a test version that adds the following new features:


* Added in an option for users to change their display names if the admin allows it. This can be set to immediate change, or a queue where all changes must be approved by an administrator.
* Added in an option to mark all posts as read.
* Added in a config option that requires users to verify their email before their account is activated. If used with user registration approval, admins will get notification of the new user after their email is verified. Accounts that do not have their email verified within 24 hours will be deleted.
* Added a config option to turn user ratings on and off.
* Changed the front page to show the subject of the last post along with who posted it for each forum.
* Changed the way new posts are flagged on the postlist screen. Instead of using 2 different colored icons, it now uses a different colored table cell for the new post along with bolding of the line. This makes it so admins can upload new post icons of any color.
* Added in a new option to log all mysql errors along with the time,script and username to daily files. Thanks to Dave_L.
* Added in an option to log any activity in the admin section that actually changes something. Also a script for admins to view these logs. Thanks to Gardener.
* Reworked favorite forums. These will no longer display in the "My home" area. Instead there will be a toggle on the main forum listing page that will allow users to display all forums or only their favorite forums.
* Added a reply with quote option.
* Added a new option when moving a thread to leave a pointer at the old location of the thread.
* Added an option to add a thread to your favorites when posting or replying.
* Made the Favorite thread and Reminders links into toggles. This means clicking once will add the thread/post to your favorites/reminders. Clicking again will remove it.
* Updated all of the templates to be valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Thanks JustDave.
* Updated all of the stylesheets to be valid CSS-2. Thanks JustDave.
* Added a new CSS stylesheet "GreenDay" by JustDave.

Rick's entire change log for version 6.2 is posted at http://community.infopop.net/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=729094322&f=3133094913&m=6633052386

Some important notes:

The importer from classic to .threads will be released later this week. Do not use the current importer with this beta version.

All of the templates have been updated, be sure to upload them.
All of the scripts have been changed/modified as have the cron scripts.

All of the style sheets have been updated. If you are using unmodified style sheets just upload them. If you have edited your style sheets and don't want to overwrite them the UPGRADING.html file contains a list of the new classes.


Last but not least: Remember, this is a BETA release and we do not recommend that you use this beta for production or mission critical applications.

> UBB.classicâ„¢ 6.2 Beta Release 1.0 is a test version

UBB.classic 6.2? or UBB.threads 6.2?

I believe he meant to say Threads 6.2

Ubb is already working on version 6.4 if I am right.

I have run the install.php script 3 times now and everytime it gets to the createtable.php section it says this.

You will want to remove all altertables, createtable.php and install.php from your webserver.

After that I see this all over the boards now.

We develop with full error reporting turned on. It wasn't meant to be put out to the members area with the error reporting level set so high. You can get rid of these by editing your ubbt.inc.php file. There is a line towards the top that looks like this:

error_reporting(15);

change that, to this:

error_reporting(7);

Creating a new user is telling me the passwords don't match and I am doing easy stuff like test and testboard as both passwords.

Working on this one in this thread

That way the importing process would be so much easier.

Go Cougs!

I changed the option for only registered users can see the userlist and the page comes up blank.

When I change it to show to everyone it comes up just fine.

Legend is missing images on postlist.php

Marked Favorite forums is not showing up in My Home

The postlist page doesn't have images any more in the legend. New posts are marked with a different stylesheet background color for the row.

On Favorites: OK I was wondering because the box is still in my home.

On PostList: I overlooked That

Denying of users gives the following message back.

Your registration of '' at http://hvs.crazy.net/TestBoard/ubbthreads.php has been denied. The reason for this is below.

Look at the "Your registration of ''" part.

I also get the same thing when approving users.

When I click on Logout and I have a different stylesheet selected it uses the same stylesheet when it brings me back to the login page instead of the board default one.

On editconfig.php the top links are not going back up to the top.

Can you modify it so that in my home it sorts the stylesheets by Name and not by stylesheet.

I have a question on these beta version updates.

How often is the beta version (that is available for member downloads) updated to fix these little bugs that have been discussed so far today? IE: If I wait until tomorrow to get the beta version, will some of the bugs discussed today have been corrected?

Thanks

on AlterTable-6.1-6.2.php

This Query:
$query = "
ALTER TABLE {$config['tbprefix']}Boards
ADD Bo_Posterid INT(9) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0'
CHANGE Bo_LastNumber Bo_LastNumber INT(9) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0'
";


Gives this Error

ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'CHANGE Bo_LastNumber Bo_L
astNumber INT(9) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0'' at line 3

on editbasic.php.

Accepted Extentions on "url to your picture" is being removed causing the picture not to show up.

IE. If the picture is http://somesite.com/test.jpg after you post it because http://somesite.com/test

Here is the picture fix for changebasic.php

<pre>
// --------------------------------------------------
// If we have a picture attachment then we handle it here
if (isset($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'])) {
if ( (!empty($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'])) && ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'] != "none") ){
if (!preg_match("/(png|jpg|gif)$/i",$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'])) {
$html -> not_right($ubbt_lang['BAD_PIC'],$Cat);
}
}
if ( ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'] > $config['avatarsize']) ) {
$html -> not_right($ubbt_lang['FILE_TOO_BIG'],$Cat);
}
if (($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) && ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] != "none") ){
$imagehw = GetImageSize($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']);
$imagewidth = $imagehw[0];
$imageheight = $imagehw[1];
if ($imagewidth > $theme['PictureWidth']) {
$imagewidth = $theme['PictureWidth'];
}
if ($imageheight > $theme['PictureHeight']) {
$imageheight = $theme['PictureHeight'];
}
}
if ( ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'] != "none") && ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']) ){
} <--- REMOVE THIS ------

// Grab the filetype
$piece['0'] = "";
preg_match("/(\.gif|\.png|\.jpg)$/i",$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'],$piece);
$type = $piece['1'];
$Picturefile = "{$user['U_Number']}$type";
$Picturefile = strtolower($Picturefile);
if ( ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] != "none") && ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) ){
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "{$config['avatars']}/$Picturefile");
}
$Picture = "{$config['avatarurl']}/$Picturefile";
}
} <----- ADD THIS -----
</pre>

This should fix the top link problem.

Change:
<pre>
echo "
<a name=top></a>
<TR><TD class=\"lighttable\">
</pre>

To:
<pre>
echo "
<a name=top>&nbsp;</a>
<TR><TD class=\"lighttable\">
</pre>

Thanks for the fixes on these.
