OK i wanna know in advance how different is the theme coding from the 1 to 2 would lik to brace myself with the idea of massive updates :D

Also im guessing that the views of people regarding the admin panel has been taken into concideration, is there any chance of a sneak peak of the new admin panel.


However I like the new theme quite a shock to log on after few days to see this but a good shock none the less

Man I can't wait to test it! And also make new versions of my mods..

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  :P


Wow, I guess the mod maker's have to rewrit the mod's to work with the new version.  What about the theme's?

Just with all the changes, improvements and addition things where moved or edited so you need to tweak and change things. As well new features that could make your mod not needed (1 of my mods will not need to go to 2.0 as its a feature).

But yes themes will need to be rewrote as well. Just like 1.0 to 1.1. Except 2.0 is a greater amount of changes.

The upgrader does a nice job in fixing themes so they (kind-of) work :)

well in DE, http://www.simplemachines.org/about/sitemap.php this link s available in copyright divison! Really it's a very basic tool for webmasters! Hope developers include this in 2.0! I think, they already did everything regarding script for sitemap! So it's not a difficult thing to add a basic thing in 2.0?

I thought so.  Man, I think this version is greater then all ther old version of SMF.

Can a 1.1. theme install onto a 2.0 version of SMF?  With out giving any error's?

Not quite sure what it does exactly, but it does change the $txt variables from the old ones to the new ones. All the $txt[some number] ones are being changed so they make more sense (for example, $txt[371] is now $txt['time_offset']) :). I have no idea who did it, but someone in the team spent their time going though all the language files and editing them like this :o

I tried it out myself... My theme sort of worked, although there's some minor bugs around (I'll need to go through the BoardIndex.template.php, Display.template.php and index.template.php to do minor updates).

No, that's not really possible. However, installing it on SMF 1.1 and then using the upgrader may make it just usable (you'd still need to do a few changes, though)

It attempts to change some of the variables and such that 2.0 now uses and upgrade bits and pieces of code if it can find them.

To make all my theme's to work with the new version?  After the upgrade to the new version do I still change thing's ono my theme's to work with the new version?

I guess most everything we have to change's thing's to get them to work with the new version. 

You guy's did some major changing for this new version.  And the major changing is so awesome.

I am loooking forwad for this version to use.

Wow! This is going to be great! More features, less mods to install, less problems! :D

Shadow Queen

don't you get major problems with multi language boards

I thought the idea of $txt[1232] was so any language could interpret rather than english only

On one of my boards I have 15 different Languages and all are used

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