[size=12][color=#dd2222][b]What's New Respect To Latest Stable Release[/b][/color][/size] [list][*][b]CMS[/b] recoded with many AJAX features [*][b]Plugins System[/b] with ACP modules and specific permissions that could be managed through CMS [*][b]Cache Functions[/b] ported from phpBB 3 [*][b]DB Class[/b] ported from phpBB 3 [*][b]User Class[/b] ported from phpBB 3 [*][b]Auth System[/b] ported from phpBB 3 and integrated into CMS and Plugins [*]Many [b]Core Functions[/b] ported from phpBB 3 [*]Almost all core [b]SQL[/b] checked and rewritten [*][b]New classes[/b] coded to improve useability and simplify coding and modding [*]Optimized [b]templates[/b] parsing [*]Improved [b]SEO[/b] functions [*][b]Tags[/b] feature [*]Custom [b]BBCodes[/b] in ACP [*][b]Private AJAX Chat[/b] rooms [*][b]Multiple Vote Polls[/b] [*][b]Many smaller updates and features... install the latest version to enjoy them all![/b][/list] [color=#880000][b]Old templates[/b]: 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. At the moment apart of the styles included in the installation package only proSilver is available over GIT: [url=https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_styles]Icy Phoenix Styles @ GIT.[/color] [color=#006600][b]Translations[/b]: 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: [url=https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_langs]Icy Phoenix Languages @ GIT.[/color] [color=#880088][b]Customizations And Mods[/b]: 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.[/color] [size=12][color=#dd22dd][b]Requirements[/b][/color][/size] Before trying to install Icy Phoenix make sure you have the following [b]STRICTLY NEEDED[/b] requirements: [list][*]At least 20 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[/list] These other requirements (even if not strictly needed) are suggested for optimal performance of Icy Phoenix: [list][*]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[/list] [size=12][color=#224488][b]Fresh Installation[/b][/color][/size] [list=1][*]Unpack Icy Phoenix package to one folder on your HD.

I only had one tiny problem when updating when upgrading Icyphoenix_1.3.0.53b to Icyphoenix_20120108_132780_beta_2 so far. A custom block that I had added caused an error, so you will want to disable any blocks that you have added via the CMS admin panel before updating. If you do not do that before updating you will need to disable them manually via Phpmyadmin. Good luck! and remember this is still an un-supported release. ----------------------------------- plumbers25 Mon 13 Feb, 2012 07:20 Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0 Beta 2 ----------------------------------- Wonderful post. I would definitely try to incorporate the tips you have shared.

Thanks again and Soon will have my Donation for help you to keep this Project alive and support us on any problems we have now and on near future. -= Dimitrios Dagalidis =- AKA (lostanimal) ----------------------------------- Joshua203 Sun 06 May, 2012 20:10 Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0 Beta 2 ----------------------------------- Welcome to IcyPhoenix lostanimal, I'm sure you will find a reply by TheSteffen soon, he is in charge of translations :wink: FYI ...I had a quick view at your site and I think you haven't found some Greek button-sets yet, if you click the Greek flags on the next link you can download them: http://www.icyphoenix.com/styles/styles.php?cat_id=ip Greetings, Joshua203 ----------------------------------- lostanimal Mon 07 May, 2012 01:45 Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0 Beta 2 ----------------------------------- [quote user="Joshua203" post="55663"]Welcome to IcyPhoenix lostanimal, I'm sure you will find a reply by TheSteffen soon, he is in charge of translations :wink: FYI ...I had a quick view at your site and I think you haven't found some Greek button-sets yet, if you click the Greek flags on the next link you can download them: http://www.icyphoenix.com/styles/styles.php?cat_id=ip Greetings, Joshua203[/quote] Thank you Joshua for your reply... :D I had the Button-sets for Greek but i didn't upload them yet because i create some new ones to test them. My forums is on BETA and is not open yet. I will first end all the translations needed (Including all involved files) and after some period of testing and Debugging will be ready to welcome new members. I belive this Portal mod (IP) is the Best off all tested until now, and i am sure that with the right support will getting more and more better every day. I've tested pre-mod of Portal-XL also but my opinion is IP have the most COMPLETE CMS system of all. Cheers to all members and Staff here. ----------------------------------- TheSteffen Tue 08 May, 2012 11:55 Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0 Beta 2 ----------------------------------- Welcome to IcyPhoenix [b]lostanimal[/b], and thanks for your translation. If you want, you can upload your work under [url=http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewforum.php?f=5]"Translations" so I can upload it to https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_langs Your you create a git account by your own, so you can upload it. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for your hard work work so far. ----------------------------------- zsolti10 Wed 09 May, 2012 14:06 Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0 Beta 2 ----------------------------------- I found some things that should be checked before releasing the final version: [list=1][*]First, when I try to open the Cash Currencies in cash mod, it writes: [code linenumbers=false]Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_EMPTY in /home/u410633394/public_html/adm/cash_currencies.php on line 39[/code] I found a solution but i'm not a programmer, so i'm not sure if its okay, but it worked me. Open [b]adm/cash_currecies.php[/b] and find (line 39): [code linenumbers=false]if (1empty($submit)))[/code] Replace with [code linenumbers=false]if (empty($submit))[/code] [*]Another thing with cash mod, is that I set "[i]Show earnings in Post Profile[/i]" to yes, but i can't see my earnings in the posting profile. Memberlist and userprofile show it. [*]And 1 small problem with the download database (pafiledb) is that i can't write some special characters, which are often used in hungarian words, e.g á é í ó ö ő ú ü ű. When I write one of these in a category or download's name, it simply writes ? marks instead of the characters.[/list] ----------------------------------- TheSteffen Wed 09 May, 2012 15:07 Re: Icy Phoenix 2.0 Beta 2 ----------------------------------- Only short: 1. That was fixed by Hans ... you should use [code linenumbers=false]if (!empty($submit))[/code] 3.
