Phorum-5.2.8 final released (13 replies)

30168 Views Published 1 year, 5 months ago in Announcements, Phorum

We are happy to announce our latest stable release Phorum-5.2.8.
It is a bug fix release over 5.2.7 fixing lots of issues found.

Some new things were put in too.
This includes:
- the rewrite of the bbcode module done through the MySQL-conference this year
- new APIs for Ajax usage and newflags
- some more hooks for better module integration
- updated / new documentation from Andy Taylor - mostly in FAQ and Admin Docs.

You can download it from our downloads page.

This is the excerpt from the changelog:

2008-07-22 07:23  mmakaay
	* Suppress output from the memcache cache layer for cases where
	  connecting to the memcached server fails. This prevents memcached
	  problems from breaking the page ("headers already sent".)
	  Additionally, the inline documentation was updated.

   2008-07-18 13:28  mmakaay
	* Fixed #772: possible corruption of serialized custom field data
	  (reported by Jonhoo).

   2008-07-15 18:11  brian
	* Fix for #731. Strip DESCRIPTION for search page

   2008-07-15 18:07  brian
	* moving the 5.2.x tags to the 5.2 dir

   2008-07-04 16:48  ts77
	* use display_name for reporter as suggested by Oliver Riesen
	  (fixing #761)

   2008-07-04 15:49  ts77
	* same date formatting in read templates as suggested by Oliver
	  Riesen (#749)

   2008-07-02 18:39  mmakaay
	* Fixed an incompatibility between file downloads with the "only
	  from this forum" restriction, in combination with URI
	  authentication. Before this fix, access for downloading the image
	  would be denied, even though the file was downloaded directly from
	  the forum. # Also a typo-fix-of-the-day change (learned that it is
	  "existent" :-).

   2008-07-01 14:30  mmakaay
	* Fixed a compatibility problem between the new BBcode module and
	  PHP versions prior to 5.1.0. The PHP function
	  htmlspecialchars_decode() is not available for those versions of
	  PHP. Thanks to Adam for noticing the problem and for providing a
	  work-around!

   2008-06-25 21:14  ts77
	* fixed undefined index in event_logger module (#748, reported by
	  Oliver Riesen)

   2008-06-25 21:07  ts77
	* stripped quotes from plain-text forum description as suggested by
	  Oliver Riesen (#743)

   2008-06-25 20:53  ts77
	* added line-height for thread options as suggested by Oliver Riesen
	  (#730)

   2008-06-25 20:20  ts77
	* made users tz_offset a float value for non-integer timezones

   2008-06-17 11:19  mmakaay
	* The "Force hiding of email addresses" option is now only
	  applicable to regular forum users. Administrators and moderators
	  can always see the email addresses of the users. For moderators,
	  this can be restricted by setting the PHORUM_MOD_EMAIL_VIEW
	  constant to false in include/constants.php. Some more fine grained
	  control for email address displaying will be added to Phorum 5.3.

   2008-06-16 10:15  ts77
	* quote anonymous authors with their name (fixing #744)

   2008-06-16 09:59  ts77
	* sort strictly by datestamp to get the recent_post (fixing #755)

   2008-06-16 09:32  ts77
	* added user's posts to edit screen (readonly), fixing #759

   2008-06-16 09:06  mmakaay
	* Another fix for #765: UTF-8 byte order markers at the start of
	  template files are now stripped by include/templates.php.

   2008-06-16 08:20  mmakaay
	* Fix for #765: catch the output of include files
	  (include/db/config.php, include/lang/* and
	  templates/*/settings.tpl) to prevent extra output like UTF-8 byte
	  order markers from breaking the pages.

   2008-06-13 18:28  ts77
	* case insensitive search for block tags in html module (fixing
	  #760)

   2008-06-05 00:21  mmakaay
	* Implemented some improvements for the Editor Tools module as
	  suggested by David King (phorum.org user "Optimal") and Oliver
	  Riesen. The behavior when adding tags using the buttons is now
	  much better. The textarea won't scroll up anymore if it is
	  scrolled downwards a bit and the text that was selected previously
	  to adding the tag will be reselected after adding the tag.

   2008-06-03 09:41  mmakaay
	* Fixed a bug in handling stale close tags that directly follow
	  another open or close tag. Thanks to CBiLL for the problem report.
	  The related error message was: Unsupported operand types in
	  [..]/bbcode/api.php

   2008-06-02 08:09  mmakaay
	* Fix for #762: moved pm_sent hook to always trigger the hook after
	  a sent PM. Before, it would not trigger if the PM mail
	  notification was disabled.

   2008-05-27 20:34  mmakaay
	* Improved handling of stale close tags in the text and fixed a PHP
	  undefined index warning along with it. Thanks to CBiLL for the
	  problem report.

   2008-05-25 22:58  mmakaay
	* MFT: # Undefined indexes fixed.

   2008-05-25 11:57  mmakaay
	* Added the conference 2008 rewrite release of the BBcode module to
	  the tree.

   2008-05-25 09:35  mmakaay
	* Added javascript_filter hook (for things like javascript
	  compression). Added a refresh=1 parameter for javascript.php to
	  let it ignore the cache.

   2008-05-19 15:51  mmakaay
	* The javascript.php script automatically loads the Ajax client
	  code, so modules can be sure that they can make use of it and
	  don't have to load it specifically. Templates can now contain a
	  "javascript.tpl", which is loaded in by the javascript.php code
	  automatically. This corresponds to the way that the CSS code works
	  (where you can create a "css.tpl").

   2008-05-13 03:51  ataylor
	* Added File Path block

   2008-05-08 15:00  mmakaay
	* Added a new API layer for handling JSON data (final goal: Ajax
	  layer)

   2008-05-08 14:56  mmakaay
	* Added a new API layer for newflags handling.

   2008-05-03 13:53  mmakaay
	* Backported the phorum_switch_template() function from trunk to
	  5.2. This new function makes it possible to switch the active
	  Phorum template to a template that is stored in any directory.
	  This is for example useful if a module includes a full Phorum
	  template, where the template is packaged with the module code.
	  With this new function, the Phorum can activate the module's
	  template without the need for the admin to copy the template to
	  the main templates directory.

   2008-04-29 16:41  mmakaay
	* Fixed #740: Mark read in folder (classic index) goes back to root
	  (thanks Oliver!)

   2008-04-29 16:03  mmakaay
	* Fixed #754: Display name filter was not included in pagination
	  (thanks Oliver!)

   2008-04-29 16:01  mmakaay
	* Fixed #738: problems with German help file for smileys module
	  (thanks Oliver!)

   2008-04-29 15:54  mmakaay
	* Fixed #757: Fixed typo in hook call for "posting_permissions"
	  (thanks Alexey)

   2008-04-17 15:24  ts77
	* use the correct default language for announcement conversion
	  (fixing #734)

   2008-04-03 08:42  mmakaay
	* Fixed #735: Added missing backslash in JavaScript code (thanks to
	  Oliver Riesen)

   2008-03-23 00:24  mmakaay
	* Fixed spam flagging by SpamAssassin for rule
	  SUBJECT_NEEDS_ENCODING. This prevents spam flagging of mail in
	  case the admin uses a name that contains special characters in the
	  "System Emails From Name" field. Encoding was implemented using
	  the Quoted-Printable description from RFC 2045.

   2008-03-21 11:25  mmakaay
	* Fixed spam flagging by SpamAssassin for rule FROM_BLANK_NAME
	  (From: contains empty name). This prevents spam flagging of mail
	  in case the admin did not fill in the "System Emails From Name"
	  field. This resulted in a header like: From: ""
	  <admin@example.com>

   2008-03-21 11:16  mmakaay
	* Fixed spam flagging by SpamAssassin for rule MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER
	  (Message-Id was added by a relay). This prevents spam flagging of
	  mail messages that are not sent for new message notification (for
	  those we already generated a Message-Id header).

Good Day

Windows vista is also causing lots of boot problems, so I often get questions like this:

I have a Dell Dimension, which won’t boot to Windows (Vista), and none the repair options work:

Startup repair: Reports repair fail due to problem with registry

System Restore: Reports no restore points available

Windows Complete PC Restore: Reports no backups available

Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool: No memory problems

Command Prompt.
Can’t think of any appropriate command to use here.

So I booted with the system DVD (as one would with XP) but the upgrade
option has been greyed don’t want to do a clean install. I want to fix existing
installation.

What should I do?

————————————————————

So here is the answer:

You can’t do a ‘repair install’ because you need to launch the Vista DVD
from within Windows, not, as you have been doing, booting straight from the
DVD; that is why the ‘upgrade’ is greyed out.

If you cannot launch Vista and none of the repair variants will work a new
install is the only other variant.

To save problems in future it is actually a good idea to image the hard
drive, using software like True Image. What I do is install operating system, download all updates, check system I working okay for a day or two, activate system, then image the drive/partition. Any time I get a problem I can re-image the drive/partition quickly and be up and running without much inconvenience. And minor fixes are done by using any registry repair utility, there are plenty of them on the market today.

Cheers,
Carl

Hello! My name is Nina.
I’m very sorry for disturbing you. I’d never join your discussion with my silly question, if it was not so serious for me. But you have really nice community here, good and friendly forum, and I’ll really be thankful for any your advices.
The problem is what my boyfriend, Mike, ignores me. We live together for couple years and planning to marry. Now he works so hard as a lead manager, company is grown, and last monthes he comes home from his office late evening, kisses me once and very fast, and then goes to his notebook, papers, documents and seats with it until early morning. But I’m only 29, I’m not old yet, people tell me i am attractive, and surely I need some attenion from my husband. I even never dreams about expensive restaurants, luxury life and holidays at tropic islands and all around the world, I just need regular private relationship with him. When I start to kiss him, Mike only asks me not to bother him and returns to his home work.
Please tell how do I need to act in such situation? I’m young pretty girl and I need his care! Am I doing something wrong? Anybody here had similar problems in past? Please, share your experience with me.

A contestant, Sally, on ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire?’ had reached the final plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $25,000 milestone money. And as she suspected the Million Dollar Question was no pushover.

It was, ‘Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds?

Is it:
A) The condor

B) The buzzard

C) The cuckoo

D) The vulture

The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. She had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline.

All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline.

She hoped she would not have to use it because….Well, her friend was, well, a blonde. But she had no alternative.

She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices. The blonde responded unhesitatingly: ‘That’s easy. The answer is C: the cuckoo.’

The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast… She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving any answer except the one that
her friend had given her. And considering her friend was a blonde that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her friend had responded
with such confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be convinced.

Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, ‘C: The cuckoo.’

‘Is that your final answer?’

‘Yes, that is my final answer.’

‘That answer is absolutely correct! You are now a millionaire!’

Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends, including the blonde who had helped her win the million dollars.

‘Jeni, I just do not know how to thank you, ‘ said the contestant.

‘How did you happen to know the right answer?’

‘Oh, come on,’ said the blonde ‘Everybody knows that cuckoos don’t build nests. They live in clocks.’

Sally fainted.

Hey all, I’m new around here, so forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section. I thought I might aswell jump in at the deep end.

Is anyone here up for meeting up some time for a few drinks, a meal and some NSA fun? I’m 22 and work as a fashion model for a large worldwide agency. I’ve been single for 7 months after a very traumatizing divorce with my ex husband. At the moment I am looking for sexual fun and gain new friends – but a relationship is not of the caards if the right guy comes a long and treats me good.

I’m currently at work at the moment, so I can’t use the forums much incase my line manager catches me, lol. But, if you pop me an email, I’ll get back to you. Email me with your a/s/l at: rountreefarnsworth@gmail.com

Look forward to hearing from you guys x

Tracing a cell phone number – while it may sound like a difficult and time consuming process, the truth is that it is actually quite easy to find out information about the owner of a specific phone number – even an unlisted one. It wasn’t very long ago that the tools needed to lookup the owner of a cell phone were only available to law enforcement officials and private investigators. But today, with the help of reverse cell phone lookup services like http://reversephonenet.com, anyone can be a PI. With a reverse cell phone lookup, you will be able to find at least the name and address of the person calling you. That means you can find answers if you are worried about a cheating spouse, a prank caller, and more. Likewise, reverse phone checks are helping many smaller companies retain business from what might have been a missed opportunity.
