Change Log:

pnForum 2.7.1

* fixed copy and paste bug in topicpager plugin
* fixed bug in backforum.php that produced wrong urls with short urls disabled
* fixed HTML bug in pnforum_ajax_editforum.html which caused a (unreproducable)
display problem in IE(6|7) that made it impossible to administer forums. IE sucks.
* removed Resizable from some templates, this also caused some problems in
IE(6|7). Did I mention that IE sucks?
* added spanish language pack, credits go to Julio De La Calle Palanques from
dev-postnuke.com
* fixed bug in adminlink plugin (call of non-existing function from 2.6)
* updated french language pack, credits go to Gilles Pilloud (gilles@xeneris.fr)
* fixed [#12958] undefined constant
* fixed [#12957] pnForum- Invalid index pninit.php
* fixed [#12948] Register and Login links use old style URI's
* fixed [#12075] Multiple deletion of threads doesn't work
* added fallback in converting from/to UTF-8 when the mbstring extension is not available.
This ***can*** und surely ***will*** affect some Ajax functions in conjunction with special
characters like the German Umlaute or French or Danish characters as well.
* fixed [#13402] Not linked usernames
* fixed [#13399] linebreach (<br> icon_wink problem

pnForum 2.7

*** Note: Most of the bugs fixed in this list have been reported during the extensive
***       testphase before the release and do not necessarily fix bugs of the 2.6 version
***       because some new functionality introduced in 2.7 is affected.
+ .8 ready, Topics module from .8-SVN needs to be installed!
+ Using Ajax now for some features, this implied a major rewrite of some templates
and adding a few new ones. Non-javascript fallbacks are included.
+ using resizable.js written by Kazuki Ohta (ohta@uei.co.jp)
+ animated gifs made Klaus Petzka (mail@petzi-juist.de)
+ optimized all functions that search forums (better performance)
+ Templates and layout reworked
+ The following plugins are declared obsolete and may not be present in
future versions:
addtopic_button
favoriteforum_button
listforummods
mailtopic_button
post_order_button
splittopic_button
subscribeforum_button
subscribetopic_button
Please use display logic to show the buttons, for more details see the
recent templates.
+ added timezone support (credits go to Adrian Chapman for the idea). To use this in
your templates, use the new pnfdate_format modifier instead of pndate_format, e.g.:

The last parameter is activating the timezone support which adds the difference between
the users timezone and the main timezone configured in your PostNuke settings.
+ added option to disable forum

happy birthday (11/27) version 2.6...

any news on version 2.7 and compatibility with PN v .762+ ??

3. cyrxi wrote on Jan 07, 2007 at 02:26 AM

Just installed PostNuke today, and this was the first additional module I've installed. So far, so good!

My only request would be if future versions could be XHTML 1.1 compliant. Currently the W3C Validator only throws about 3 errors, so hopefully it won't be that difficult...

4. cyrxi wrote on Jan 08, 2007 at 03:47 AM

I have managed to fix the XHTML 1.1 compliancy issue - it had to do with the drop-down forum select list located in the file "modules/pnForum/pntemplates/plugins/function.jumpbox.php". It only took the editing of a few lines of code as follows:

Code

$out ='[b]<label for="pnforum_forum"><strong>' . pnVarPrepForDisplay(_PNFORUM_FORUM) . ': </strong></label>
               <form action="' . pnVarPrepForDisplay(pnModURL('pnForum', 'user', 'viewforum')) . '" method="get">
               <div>[/b]<select name="forum" id="pnforum_forum" onchange="location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">
               <option value="'.pnVarPrepForDisplay(pnModURL('pnForum', 'user', 'main')).'">' . pnVarPrepForDisplay(_PNFORUM_QUICKSELECTFORUM) . '</option>';
        foreach($forums as $forum) {
            if(allowedtoreadcategoryandforum($forum['cat_id'], $forum['forum_id'])) {
                $out .= '<option value="' . pnVarPrepForDisplay(pnModURL('pnForum', 'user', 'viewforum', array('forum' => $forum['forum_id']))) . '">' . $forum['cat_title'] . ' :: ' . $forum['forum_name'] . '</option>';
            }
        }
        $out .= '</select></div>
                 </form>';

pnVarPrepForDisplay() is deprecated.

that's work with PostNuke 0.8,

what was you bug Freebyrd ?

small tips :

you have to allow some tags in "HTML options" (module settings), or the "edit function" will display the HTML tags.

FullText work only with MyIsam tables

Hello,

The Spanish PostNuke community has translated the module pnForum 2.7

You could use it in your work?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you!
Best regards.

Thank you for your work on this forum module.

one questions, if we adapt a template for this version of pnforum, will we have to do it back to 0, when the 0.8 version will come out ?
