FluxBB

Another year, another release!Today it is my duty and honor to inform you about the release of FluxBB 1.5.6. We were forced to release this earlier than planned, due to a vulnerability that was discovered yesterday. The next release will be a small ... [More] feature release focusing on some usability improvements in the admin panel and a couple of new group permissions.I want to thank Andrew Story for reporting the vulnerability and cooperating in a quite supportive and quick manner.The actual vulnerability allowed skilled attackers to craft special pages that, when visited by logged-in forum users, could create, edit or report posts or make some changes in the user profile on behalf of these users.The problems are fixed now, along with another bug that was introduced in the latest release. Some small improvements also found their way into this release: we now serve valid HTML5 and it is now easier to choose from all posts when splitting topics.To see all changes, take a look at our changelog.Thanks to all our contributors in this release: Andrew Story, kierownik, Koos, philwareham, quy and Visman.We recommend upgrading your forum as soon as possible. As always, the release archives are available on the download page. Patches and changed files can be obtained on the upgrade page, where you will also find the upgrading instructions.As always, don't forget to backup both your forum files and your database before running the update!

So... we've made it! It's 2014 (at least, over here, in Belgium it is, perhaps you're in a country where they are still counting down). Let's start with saying: "Happy New Year" from all developers here at FluxBB.org. It has been an awesome year ... [More] , with over 150.000 new downloads (14.000 in the past month), we're now at 327k downloads. Great! In the past year, we've released 6 new versions of FluxBB, 4 in the 1.5-branch and 2 in the 1.4-branch. I'm looking forward to 2014, perhaps we even get FluxBB 2.0 alpha 2 ready!Plugin: Last Topic on Index For FluxBB 1.4.2 and higherThis is a feature that is requested a lot to become part of the core, so lets put this in the spotlights. Like the plugin title might tell you, this plugin will display the last topic on your index page, and it works for FluxBB 1.4.2 and higher.Download from FluxBB.orgPlugin: Profile Plus for FluxBB 1.5.5Because of a lack on new themes for FluxBB these days, I'm going to showcase another plugin to you. One that's made by myself. Profile Plus is an improved version of the profile page of your FluxBB installation. Except for the ability to view your own profile, it doesn't add any new features to the profile, it only reduces the amount of pages and simplyfies the structure of the profile itselfs.Download from FluxBB.orgWebsite: StormableI already mentioned in #9 that I've got a website I wanted to show you guys in #10, and well... here it is! The websited is based on the FluxBB-RD project which I mentioned in #8. While it doesn't use all of the elements of that concept, it is a prety nice piece of work. The design looks incredible good. Well, you'll just have to see it for yourself...Stormable WebsiteSo... I'm off now. I'm having a party today and still need to catch some sleep, it's 3 AM in the morning over here... Anyway, once again: a Happy New Year and enjoy your life in 2014 (if it already has started for you). I can feel that we are off to a great year! [Less]

Haa... the holiday season has started once again. 2013 is almost over. A year ago, people thought the world would end, and look where we are now! 5 versions of FluxBB and over 140 000 downloads later (13 000 in the past month). 1.5.5 will probably be ... [More] the last release this year, except if we might do a hotfix, but for now, it doesn't look like it. Meanwhile, development of FluxBB 1.5.6 and 2.0-alpha2 continuous (yes, we're still working on that).Plugin: Another Private Messaging - Topic System For FluxBB 1.5.4 and 1.5.5One of the most requested features for FluxBB (lets be clear: it will never make it to the core), is a PM system. Since it won't get in the core, there are a lot of plugins for that. Another Private Messaging is one of them, perhaps even the best one (it's the most downloaded plugin and Adaur isn't unknown here). Anyway, if you're searching for a PM system, the search has ended. Of course, there are more plugins to this, just check out the Resources page.Download from FluxBB.orgStyle: Midnight For FluxBB 1.4 and 1.5Midnight was the very first style to appear in the style repository on this website, after being part of the plugin repository for a long time. Anyway, it's a dark version of the default Air styles. Nice for Halloween (yes, I'm a little late to say that, next year better). sadly enough, it uses some CSS3 that only works in Firefox and Chrome, while there is no standard-compliant replacement for other browsers (not sure if -moz-border-radius is still supported by Firefox anyway). Also, you can't download this style from FluxBB.org, it's listed in the repository, but the download link will give you a nice 404 error. So:Download from GitHub.comJust something else: FluxBB 1.5.6I can't find a good website to show you this time, yes there is still 1, but I'm going to keep that one fore #10. So, let's write something down about FluxBB (I hope Franz or one of the other developers don't mind). It's perhaps a good moment to say this: FluxBB 1.5.6 seems to become a nice release. Yes yes, SQLite 3 support is still coming and meant to hit the core in this version. We're also getting rid of the annoying fact that you have to change a new forum's name after you created it, that won't happen anymore! So, FluxBB 1.5.6 is going to add some (small) and nice features, because of the SQLite 3 driver, people that would like to use it with SQLite 3, it might be a good idea to beta-test it, as soon as that feature is finished.
