Introducing SMF 2.0

[Dragooon]

I am happy with SMF 2.0.0 going to be released but I had a wierd question
If SMF 2.0 Beta is released to Chartar members and I become a Chartar member after the Charter member release would I still be able to get it before the public release?

[Dannii]

Yes you should still be able to download it.

[Dragooon]

Yes!!!!!!
I am planning to be one soon like 2 months(Not so soon lol)

[Sverre]

No, it won't make it any less difficult to localise.

What about the negative impact it will have on file size?

[Dannii]

Neglible compared to how much more meaningful the code will look.

Neglible compared to how much more meaningful the code will look.

Exactly - IMHO, the current language files are too unusable/inaccessible. Making them descriptive is a much better move

[funchris]

Is it possible to make a suggestion?
I think it would be a great feature if the incoming messages would appear as a popup where you can reply, too. As well there should be a popup when you write a personal message. In case of that the basic page does not have to change and surfing on the smf would be much more comfortable.

Great stuff!

Any chance for a "Watched Topics" feature buit-in on the forum instead of annoying email notifications, just like the "Show new replies to your posts" but with the ability to add threads that you didn't reply on them, and remove threads that you no longer want to watch (when you reply to a thread, the default settings should be to add it to the watch list) ?


Another important feature I wanted to see on SMF 2.0 is some sort of an Forum-Archive, for us with a very large forum... a separate database that will be accessed as read only, and will make the 'live database' much smaller and faster.. and of course the ability to mass-move threads from the live-forum to the archived-forum..

Ahem. On your website theres double 'Did you miss your activation email'

[Ninoslav]

Can't wait!

Hi,
looks great!
It would be great if there would be a possibility to search user according to his location, my users are asking about this why it is not possible.
Or if the location would be directly in the memberlist, at least like a flag of a state or something similar.
A function where admin could choose what items he wants to be shown in the memberlist would be also great.
... And I am having trouble with Opera in this default theme
Thanks
Dave

Can't wait, SMF rocks the house down

This does indeed sound good. I'm actually excited about some of the changes - smf looks is taking on a much more "professional" feel. Very cool. Now if 2.0 also includes a few basic things by default like view member's topics (can do with the Custom profile fields?), ability to edit the subject field, add a description field, some kind of reward/punish system, and RSS import/export... that would be awesome!

Great job team.

[mama]

Great job all you SMF ppl. =) Love the forum alot. To bad I don´t have programming skillz (want to learn) so I can help with something.

[exodia]

2.0 has lots of changes. So you may have to rewrite parts of your mods to work. I rewrote 75% of my mods to use more of 2.0 features and actually work with 2.0.. Only 1 mod didn't need editing to work with 2.0 

yea will be a great idea if we can integrate all the mods you modified into one mod or integrate into the smf 2.0.

and  i don't think there will be any changes in the karma system??

From the feature list ... this is extremely great!!! I see most of the feature I would love to have especially as an administrator....

The mod package applied not only on the default theme is the best I love to have since version 1.1. Plus the customization portion, forum performance improvement in database query, permission setting, email notification, custom profile, moderation center is also the best feature I wanted for so long.

Anyway ... any improvement in the member management ?

- Like setting of automatic deletion or inactivate of members inactive a long period of time?

- customizable screen to show the member listing columns... select what we want to see ?

- A better view in the ban list setting? Who, what and link back to see the user profile?

- A better tracking ability to query duplicate accounts?

- Member groups selection and easier management interface?

Just some suggestion ...

SMF team... you guys are great!!!!!!! Keep it up .... will be looking forward to the new release!!!

By the time 2.0 comes out there will probably be a script to help you fix MOST of the problems your mods might have. For instance, there is already a script to fix $txt changes. I am going to try to come up with something that will fix $context and file changes.

yeah theres some alignment issues i have found with opera, just an fyi, this looks very promising indeed
