News And Announcements - Icy Phoenix 2.0

Post subject: Icy Phoenix 2.0
Hi all,
I'm glad to announce that Icy Phoenix 2.0 first stable release is available for downloads.

What's New Respect To Latest Stable Release

  • CMS recoded with many AJAX features
  • Plugins System with ACP modules and specific permissions that could be managed through CMS
  • Cache Functions ported from phpBB 3
  • DB Class ported from phpBB 3
  • User Class ported from phpBB 3
  • Auth System ported from phpBB 3 and integrated into CMS and Plugins
  • Many Core Functions ported from phpBB 3
  • Almost all core SQL checked and rewritten
  • New classes coded to improve useability and simplify coding and modding
  • Optimized templates parsing
  • New Mobile style (automatically detected)
  • Improved SEO functions
  • Revamped AJAX Chat with Private Rooms
  • Brand new Tags, Share and Likes features
  • Custom BBCodes in ACP
  • Multiple Vote Polls
  • Many smaller updates and features... install the latest version to enjoy them all!


Old templates: please note that the template system has been totally revamped, so templates designed for Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53 or below won't work at all with this version. Update versions for all styles will be available very soon here: Icy Phoenix Styles. Also you may want to keep monitored styles on GIT: Icy Phoenix Styles @ GIT.


Translations: please note that lang packs for Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53 won't work with this version. Lang packs need to be updated before you can use them on your site. I will update all lang files in download section as soon as translators will send me their latest release. You can find latest development translations here: Icy Phoenix Languages @ GIT.


Customizations And Mods: please note that this version has many core code differences from the previous one, so it is really unlikely that old customizations and mods will work on this beta release. If you currently have some mods installed and you cannot update them on your own, you should be aware that you will not able to use those old mods until someone is going to update them.


Requirements
Before trying to install Icy Phoenix make sure you have the following STRICTLY NEEDED requirements:
  • At least 40 MB of free space in the folder you would like to install the package
  • Web server with PHP (5.2 or higher) installed and running (works best on Linux + Apache)
  • MySQL (5 or higher) database with at least 5MB of free space (of course the space needed depends on how big your site will be... 5MB is enough for a basic empty setup)
  • Ability to set CHMOD permissions

These other requirements (even if not strictly needed) are suggested for optimal performance of Icy Phoenix:
  • Webserver with .htaccess capability
  • Apache Rewrite Mod installed and running
  • GD Libraries (at least 2.0.28) installed and running
  • Register Globals set to OFF



Fresh Installation
  1. Unpack Icy Phoenix package to one folder on your HD.
  2. Copy all Icy Phoenix files in one folder on your webserver (i.e. /icyphoenix/)
  3. Set the permissions to CHMOD 777 to the following files and folders (please note that you may not have all of them in your setup):
    • backup/
    • cache/
    • cache/cms/
    • cache/forums/
    • cache/posts/
    • cache/sql/
    • cache/topics/
    • cache/users/
    • downloads/
    • files/
    • files/album/
    • files/album/cache/
    • files/album/med_cache/
    • files/album/users/
    • files/album/wm_cache/
    • files/posted_images/
    • files/screenshots/
    • files/thumbs/
    • images/avatars/
    • logs/
    • logs/logfile_attempt_counter.txt
    • logs/logfile_blocklist.txt
    • logs/logfile_debug_mode.txt
    • logs/logfile_malformed_logins.txt
    • logs/logfile_spammer.txt
    • logs/logfile_worms.txt
  4. Launch the setup from the install folder: install/install.php (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/ip/install/install.php)
  5. Follow all the instructions on the screen, fill all requested data and complete the setup
  6. Delete or rename install folder
  7. Customize files and settings to correctly setup your site (some files needs to be edited manually, while most of the options may be set in ACP and CMS). Here is a short list of some files you may want to edit manually:
    • .htaccess: settings about your domain and basic Apache settings.
    • robots.txt: change the path of your sitemap and customize basics bots rules.
    • favicon.ico and images/favicon.ico: customize your site icon.
    • includes/constants.php: customize some constants values and set your main admins id.
    • language/lang_XXX/lang_main_settings.php: some important data about you, your site and basic settings.
    • templates/default/overall_header*.tpl: you can customize here some parts of the appearance of your template (some of these settings may be changed in ACP and CMS, so you don't need to edit these files).
  8. Customize options in ACP and CMS.
  9. Enjoy your New Site



How To Upgrade From Older Icy Phoenix Versions
  1. Lock the site from ACP
  2. Make a full backup of your website (both files and DB)
  3. Remove all old Icy Phoenix files, but make sure you are not deleting other stuff you may need!
  4. When deleting files, pay particular attention to custom files and folders like these:
    • config.php
    • backup/
    • downloads/
    • images/
    • files/
    • logs/
  5. Copy all new Icy Phoenix files into your root
  6. Make sure you apply the right CHMOD permissions as listed in the Fresh Installation section above
  7. Copy install/convert_utf8_nodbal.php to your website root and launch it (this is needed to convert your old DB to UTF-8)
  8. Delete convert_utf8_nodbal.php from your root
  9. Launch install/database_update.php and update your DB
  10. Run install/install.php since you need to run Add Uploaded Images To DB (Upgrading from Icy Phoenix 1.3 or above) to add all uploaded images to DB (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/ip/install/install.php).
  11. Delete or rename install folder
  12. Customize files and settings to correctly setup your site (some files needs to be edited manually, while most of the options may be set in ACP and CMS). Here is a short list of some files you may want to edit manually:
    • .htaccess: settings about your domain and basic Apache settings.
    • robots.txt: change the path of your sitemap and customize basics bots rules.
    • favicon.ico and images/favicon.ico: customize your site icon.
    • includes/constants.php: customize some constants values and set your main admins id.
    • language/lang_XXX/lang_main_settings.php: some important data about you, your site and basic settings.
    • templates/default/overall_header*.tpl: you can customize here some parts of the appearance of your template (some of these settings may be changed in ACP and CMS, so you don't need to edit these files).
  13. Customize options in ACP and CMS.
  14. Enjoy your New Site

Where can I find all language files edits from RC2 to this stable release please ?

You can use github's compare tool.
If you mean between "Preparing Icy Phoenix 2.0 Beta 2" (unincluded) and the latest, here's the link :
https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy...a979cfde1913fc5
(github.com/:user/:repo/compare/:commit_from...:commit_to)
I've finished translating lang_faq, lang_cms and lang_extend_icy_phoenix, I'm not sure creating two distincts translations is the best idea but well.

Post subject: Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0
Hello,

I've finished these files too : lang_bbcode, lang_bots, lang_cron_vars, lang_dyn_menu, lang_main_ads, lang_main_link, lang_main_mini_cal, lang_main_settings, lang_news, lang_permissions, lang_profile_fields, lang_statistics, lang_user_created.

lang_main is also 50% finished I think.

Perhaps this time we could merge both translations and keep on working this summer ?


Informpro [ Mon 30 Jul, 2012 00:03 ]
Post subject: Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0
I've already translated some of these files. (EDIT : or maybe not)
You can find my version here : https://github.com/Nami-Doc/icy_phoenix_langs
I'm actually translating lang_extend_icy_phoenix, next I'm gonna do : lang_dbmtc, lang_xs (I'm doing the big ones first)
feel free to comment (ie, on github) anywhere you think there's an issue, a bad translation or something.

also, before getting back to the thread : feel free to PM me (for the translation, getting access to the github repo for example, or the french site, or whatever)

Please if you can translate the buttons of hydrogen to other languages, especially Spanish as other themes or let me PDS or the original files and I do it after you.

There seems to a small error in the install instuctions in post 1 of this thread:

I guess files/posted_images/ should be files/images/ in the CHMOD section?

Information regarding this folder also seems to be missing in the upgrade instuctions in the same post? (about renaming the folder)

It may have been quicker if MORE people contributed, instead of just "waiting" for the one person of a small few to do most if not all of the work on everything that needed to be done.
