I've placed a download link in the customer downloads area.
Please note that there will be an upgrade fee for the 6.0.0 final release, but not for the betas.
Upgrade procedure (please use a clone, Admin -> Misc -> Clone):
1. Upgrade to the latest 5.1 release.
2. Go to /admin/autoupgrade.php?switchseries=1&keeptemplates=1 (or remove keeptemplates=1 to automatically overwrite templates)
3. You're done.
Known bugs:
- wsn gallery comment subscriptions not working according to bittercrank. didn't see the option even even showing.
Essential planned features:
- ratings+comments option to include a capatcha for guests and usergroup permissions so that the reviews can be held for validation
Non-essential:
- admin panel spot to set the requested linking code (linking code is given in suggest.tpl, showvotecode.tpl and the language item suggestlink_cantfindrecip). it should be a language item since it'd vary by language, but i can allow editing on the link settings page (put all languages there?).
- forced ignores -- disallow a poster from reading or replying to another poster. that'd use a member field forcedignore. posts would be invisible. postreply would ensure they're not quoting the person.
- highlight friend posts in-thread with additional style class
6.0 feature list (x indicates it's sufficiently tested for release):
x- Reduced queries and increased speed, especially for scenarios where numerous switches are off.
x- Lightbox attachment galleries.
x- A flash-based multi-file uploader with progress bars. Uploading numerous large files at once is now a breeze.
x- Admin option to choose which buttons are available in WYSIWYG standard and basic modes.
x- Attached images are now listed in google sitemaps to improve your google image search performance.
x- Added filter search options to the email log page.
x- Banning date and reason now in profile.
x- Separated the admin-only options under a special heading on submit/edit pages for clarity.
x- Added facebook "like" button to improve your social network marketing.
x- Standard edit/deletion reason options in a selector for moderators.
x- When the proprietary geoip database is loaded, it's now used to show admins the city a poster lives in.
x- Added miniature avatars in IM and shoutbox (plus on threads in WSN Forum).
x- Online indicator and IM button by posts, and general rejiggering of the postbit.
x- Updated to google maps API v3 and simplified the template code.
x- Added an option to preview edits of private messages.
x- Enabled conditionals in IM chat line.
x- Added type selector to the bulk edit listings admin page.

x- In WSN Forum, added a warning prompt when moving a thread another moderator has already moved.
x- Submission times now displayed on validation page.

x- Added 'can view member list' and 'can view member profiles' usergroup permissions.
- Updated WYSIWYG to the latest CKEditor, added background color for it to the stylesheet, and incorporated smilies into it.
- Options (size etc) for shopping cart. Just use <input type="hidden" name="cartoption1label" value="Size" /><select name="cartoption1">...size options...</select> where you could add an unlimited number of options by changing 1 to 2 or 3 etc. This should make wsn suitable as a shopping site. Note: quantity could be a standard option to test with.
- Redid sponsorship backend to be more future-proof. [paypal.php (well, inc/sponsorcommon.php) is broken on PF at last check]
- Listing description length can now be altered by sponsorship. [NEEDS MUCH TESTING!]
- A more powerful backups system, with staggered automated backups over two weeks and download/restore options on the backups page. [Currently broken on PF!]
- Member ratings now default to percentage approval, with visual bar by posts illustrating. [bar seemed off visually i think]
- An option to delete a custom template in the template editor.
- Ability to pass &returnto={CURRENTURLENCODED} to the submit or edit pages to be returned after submitting/editing/deleting.
- Custom file attachment fields for calendar events.
- In WSN Forum, when somebody edits their first post title it now automatically changes the topic title too. |
