Public Beta of 4.2.
We've released a public beta of CourseForum and ProjectForum 4.2. Please see the
beta page for downloads. Details of changes...
Enhancements to File Attachments
- upload dialogs now allow simultaneously uploading of several files/images
- added progress bar to upload dialogs
- new menu on file attachment icons allows you to more conveniently
replace/update a file
- added named file: links (those on the network require quotes
around the network path)
Enhancements to Search
- rewrite of searching code to work more closely to common search engines;
allows searching for words in different parts of the page, use "" to
group words to find words only when together
- pages where match occurs in title are listed first in results
Additional Changes in 4.2
- new built-in theme 'Flair', courtesy of Jean-Claude Wippler
- courses/groups to be imported now must be placed within
the 'import' directory, and files available there can be chosen from a
list, rather than prompting for an arbitrary path
- a ===comments=== divider right at the very end of the
page would not be detected
- RSS/include weren't handling permanent redirect (301) http status codes
- fix problems exporting some forums that used rss/include
- fixed problems with forums that are archived after a
forum password is setup
- fixed various places where an available URL prefix was
not being used (search, references, links, etc.)
- fixed problem rendering '&!' sequence
Great Example of Changing Site Appearance.
ProjectForum can use
themes to radically change the appearance of your site. While several are built-in, you can also develop custom themes. For a great example of what you can do, have a browse around the
sytech.org site. Yes, you're not seeing things - the entire thing is done in ProjectForum!
