Introducing SMF 2.0

Personally I believe the developers should focus on the core functions of SMF, not on the different themes they could package it.
There are plenty of other themes you can use with SMF.

And when the package manager in 2.0 tries to install mods on all themes more build in themes is definatly not needed.

Dropping certain items in the package is under consideration, but nothing concrete as of yet though.

Note that if themes are dropped from the package, they would likely still be supported, just not included with the core SMF package.

If SMF DEV takes one more month than expected date is not going to hurt anyone, instead of dropping items! :o

This is definitely what I was waiting for. I personally do not use SMF (since I do not have any forum), but I visit some sites which use it, and I would love to see them running in this excellent version :)

Well I must say, I've only had SWF installed on the one board...........so far. The rest are phpBB 2 and SWF is way above those for the level of features it has. In such a short time, I'm sold on it and the next release will be even better.

Tell you what really sold me, is when I installed the gallery pro and I hadn't removed the std version properly and it was shot to heck. The service and backup from these guy's is something else. Impressive service from here. Thats way above anything I've seen before. 12 out of 10 for service and support :) SWF_Hacks, you rock.

Looking forward to it SWF. Thanks for the excellent support.

Danny.

Thats SMF. ;) SWF is an exported flash file. ;)

That's great to hear!

As far as themes go, it might be a good idea to keep the previous default theme in the package as a bridge between the old and new version, but as long as an officially supported and updated download is available, it shouldn't really be necessary though.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if certain default features, such as Karma for example, were made into officially supported modifications either...

If you've modified any of the themes included with SMF, you'll need to reapply your modifications when you upgrade.
For anyone using a custom theme, you'd need to wait for the theme's author to update it for SMF 2.0 compatibility.

What I love the most in the new version is that extra feature that when installing a mod it will work with custom themes as well, not only with the default one. That''s exellent news for people like me who ain''t so good and handy when it comes to coding

It won't be perfect because themes can be very different. It is a best-effort kind of thing, not something that will always work no matter what.

That's definitely something I love too. I hate when I have to go and modify some codes I do not even understand just to make something work :D

Gary

You may still have to edit the code since custom themes can still be VERY different than the default and thus still fail.

Well, I do not know what to say. If v2.0 is still as good as it seems once I have tested it, I will do the job without complaining :)

Sweet, it looks really cool!

I understand that it would make the download package much larger. Maybe you could cut out the themes, just leave the default or the basic ones then make other offical themes that was put together and gone over by the SMF team. Then make those downloadable much like the language packs.

I know it seems odd or maybe foolish but I have a hardtime trusting themes developed by others because I do not know much about the way SMF functions and I do not know the first step to fixing a problem. So far all my experiance with SMF has been outstanding. So the idea of getting "Offical" themes frm SMF is very nice.

Either way I'm going for a charter because I think its only fair to give back for the great software that you share with us.

May I ask, is it currently planned the (I think) 3 current themes will be in version 2? Or will new ones be there too ;)

What themes and how many will be included is not known at the moment.
