vBadvanced Dynamics v1.2.0 Released!

vBadvanced is proud to announce the release of vBadvanced Dynamics v1.2.0. One of the main focuses of this release was to make vBadvanced Dynamics modules more compatible and easier to use with the CMPS, which we believe has been accomplished. After upgrading to vBadvanced Dynamics v1.2.0 and vBadvanced CMPS v3.2.0, you will now see a 'vBa Dynamics Module' choice when clicking on the 'Add Module' link under your vBa CMPS options in the Admin CP. This will allow you to import any vBadvanced Dynamics module for use with the CMPS. Note that you must be running vBadvanced v3.2.0 and vBadvanced Dynamics v1.2.0 before you will see the new option to import vBadvanced Dynamics modules as a good number of changes have been made to both products in order to make this work.
In addition to the updates for better compatibility with the CMPS, the following features have also been added:

• Drag & Drop Module Positioning - A new setting in the Admin CP has been added under the 'Module Options' section called 'Enable Drag & Drop Module Positioning'. When enabled, this will allow your members to arrange modules on their entry or category pages using a "drag & drop" javascript interface instead of the old positioning system that involved clicking on the orange arrow images to move a module. For those who preferred the old system, you can revert back to it by disabling the 'Enable Drag & Drop Module Positioning' setting.
• Admin CP Drag & Drop Modules - Instead of the old form based module positioning, you may now use a drag & drop javascript interface to arrange module layouts in the Admin CP. For those who prefer the old form based system, you can revert back to it by disabling the new 'Enable Drag & Drop Modules' setting (under Admin CP Options).
• New setting in the 'External Data Options' group that will allow you to limit the number of characters displayed in RSS feeds. If an entry is longer than the limit, a "read more" link pointing to the entry will be shown at the end.
• The 'Search by User Name' field on the Advanced Search page now uses the vBulletin AJAX name suggestion feature and will generate a list of matching usernames once you start typing into the box (just like the vBulletin search page).
• New settings that will allow you to delay updating entry and attachment views to help those with busy web sites.
• New setting (under Main Options) to show "sticky" entries first in search results.
• When replying to an entry, the option to rate the entry will now be hidden if you have previously rated the entry.
• All currently known bugs & issues have been corrected.
