The following is the changelog for FusionBB version 2.2

As features and fixes are added, this first post will get updated.


Features Added:

  • Added the ability to edit an insert for search results - which is ideal for the placement of advertisements or other HTML within search results
  • Reworked the search results to allow a nicer preview and more logical layout - thanks Stephen
  • Reworked the recent posts/topics system - thanks Stephen
  • Updated the clear cache function to also clear all cached pages in the page_cache table
  • Removed the max_sessions information from the bottom of the main index as this was often the same information as max_online.
  • Added a duplicate expire topic buttno to the bottom of the list of posts.
  • Completed the user search ability to limit by email opt in, post count, registered date. Thanks Couchtomatoe!
  • Completed the ability to export user email addresses, display names, real names and location. Thanks Couchtomatoe!
  • Altered the way ads display on the showtopic.php script, so that they display after the first post, and after the last post. This way users auto-jumping to new posts will see see the ad in the topic.
  • Added an editable configuration variable for the word wrap function
  • Added the ability to switch from a quick reply to a full reply - thanks Stephen
  • Extended the forum ad functionality to display inline when looking at a list of posts
  • Added a configurable captcha like check, which will prevent bots and spammers from easily submitting forms. This can be enabled on the contact form, the registration page, anonymous posting pages, or registered posting pages.
  • Added admin configurable Menu Tabs - which allow you to rearrange the current tabs, as well as create your own. You can create tabs which are links, or tabs with submenus of links.
  • Added Admin configurable Particle Boxes - which allows the ability to edit the portal and sidebar layout, arrange the particle boxes and turn them on and off, as well as add your own particle boxes. There is also the ability to generate code to use the particle box externally on a non FusionBB page.
  • Made title of Fetched RSS Feed box clickable with site URL.
  • Added a mark read button to gallery forums.
  • Added the ability to mass expire gallery posts to the showgallery.php script
  • Added the ability to sort a forum by Subject.
  • Added full post moderation - the ability to set a forum to require approval of posts before they are visible.
  • Created an admin interface to view and approve posts needing moderation.
  • Added the ability for the admin to create HTML pages (wrapped by FusionBB headers, footers, sidebars and menus). These pages can be added, deleted or edited from the admin area.
  • Added a cron task to sent Private Topic reminder notices to users a set number of days before a paid subscription is about to expire. - Thanks to Dman!
  • Added the ability to update all users titles when titles are edited.
  • Import Utility Added for Invision 2.x
  • Import Utility Added for UBB.Threads 7.x
  • Added a configuration setting to allow the browser to cache pages.
  • Added the ability to create profile fields on the fly (including text box, select lists, checkbox and radio buttons fields) for the user profile.
  • Added the ability to determine what profile fields are on the registration page and which fields are required.
  • Added a user "attitude" to help indicate a user's mood. It's a permission based feature.
  • Added the ability for the admin to create site and forum permissions on the fly.
  • Split the shoutbox permissions to "Can see" and "Can Post"
  • Added a permission for seeing ages and seeing years members were born
  • Created a cron to purge expired manual MPP subscriptions
  • Seperated Bots from Visitors on online page.
  • Allowed for clickable Calendar on Portal Page.
  • Added a Control Panel Permission "Can Edit Language Files"
  • Added an Admin area editor to edit language files. This also scans files for common strings and moves duplicate strings into the common.php language file to reduce load.
  • Added a /pda directory which when you hit this link, if the smallscreen templates are enabled, it'll switch you to the smallscreen templates for the length of your session.


In addition to the above enhancements to version 2.1, the following is a list of bugfixes.


Fixed Items:

  • Added some additional security checking in docontact.php to prevent an XXS attack
  • Fixed an issue with the permission to expire private topics
  • Fixed a bug in the utility to resync name colors and status flags which prevented all users from being properly processed.
  • Edited the optimize cron job to also optimize the page_cache table, pt_posts and pt_topics.
  • Fixed a bug in which PHP code highlighting was removing backslashes.
  • Finally a fix to the nasty cache bug - that caused the cache to randomly clear. Thus losing your max users online, among other things.
  • Fixed a bug when aforum specific skin the normal skin images and logo got used instead. This also affected the CSS preview.
  • Fixed a bug related to selecting your birthday in your profile.
  • Fixed a bug in the rss_class where the feeds would randomly change numbers. Thanks CouchTomatoe
  • Fixed a pagination bug on the showgallery.php script
  • Fixed a post tracking bu on the showgallery.php script
  • Fixed a bug when clicking the new post jump arrow for a moved/merged pointer caused the pointer to be removed.
  • Fixed a bug where denial registration emails got sent without the from address of the board.
  • Fixed a bug where & was converted to & when editing a Private Topic.
  • Fixed a bug where edited Private Topics weren't showing as edited.
  • Fixed a bug where the last post info for the forum wasn't being updated if the mass expire topics function was being used.
  • Fixed an issue with the SMTP mailing mechanism, where this functionality wasn't quite complete under 2.1.
  • Changed text for stock avatars to
    Use a Stock Avatar (select to show all)
  • Fixed issue with Member Search so it searches on partial names.

OK - this was the changelog for version 2.1.1 which was meant to be a minor release of bugfixes and minor enhancements of version 2.1, but we are making great progress on new features.

Thus I am cancelling version 2.1.1 and calling this 2.2 since there will be more new features than bugfixes.

Check out the changelog above, but you'll find that 2.2 will have captcha like technology to prevent spam, admin configurable navigation tabs and the ability to edit, arrange and add to the portal/sidebar easily.

More to come....

Thank you for choosing FusionBB!

Told ya the future was so bright...

Will HTML insertion in those particle boxes work?

More ad space?

Another stupid question.

Can the particle boxes be configured by size. For instance I want to place a 120 x 600 Skyscraper for Google Ads which would contain JavaScript. Would this work?

as long as you indicate width and height in a <table> it would. But some browsers don't use the height attribute only the width attribute so it would vary from browser to browser

Well if that Actually shows something for you when put into a html page on your site then I guess it will work but for me it shows nothing even in a straight html page. But since its google it may be site specific?
