Version 4.5.0: RSS, Email Support, and more.
Version 4.5 of both ProjectForum and CourseForum have been released. Both can be downloaded from our website now, and our hosting servers have been upgraded.
Differences in this version:
- Notification Changes - RSS and Email:
- new 'Track Changes' page linked from the forum page
- new per-page RSS feed, complimenting the existing per-forum
RSS feeds
- email notification option, per-forum or per-page
- removed RSS link from default key pages used for new forums
- new 'Notification' panel in Site Admin for configuring RSS/email:
- site-wide admin option to include content of changes in
per-page feeds
- customize number of items in RSS feeds
- customize url of site (used in RSS/emails); this way RSS
feeds are always served with same URL, not dependent on how
the feed itself is served
- Other changes:
- Tables can now have borders; place "[tablestyle:borders]"
before the table, or turn it off with
"[tablestyle:default]". Note that this depends on a
new stylesheet style ".bordertable"
- Table rows are now vertically aligned at the top.
- Site administration screens now report information on when the
current license is valid until, for software updates.
- When the URL prefix is changed in the administration screens of a
forum, the browser is immediately redirected so that it is using
the new URL prefix
- for Enterprise licensing, added some explanatory messages to the
directory page in cases where no groups are listed
