Post Icy Phoenix 2.2 
 
Hi all,
I'm glad to announce that Icy Phoenix 2.2.0.105  is available for downloads.

What's New Respect To Latest Stable Release

  • PHP: increased compatibility with recent PHP versions
  • Plugins System: improved with new functions and features
  • New Classes: to improve coding and modding
  • Templates: few edits to templates functions and parsing, prepared for HTML 5
  • Thanks System: has been removed in favour of Likes System which supports AJAX and offers more flexibility.
  • Album and Links: have been removed as core components and created as plugin.
  • Cookies And Privacy Policy: due to new web rules, these two new sections have been created.
  • Many smaller updates and features... install this beta version to enjoy them all!



Old templates: please note that templates designed for Icy Phoenix 2.0.0.86 (or older) won't work with this version. Update versions for all my styles are available 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 2.0.0.86 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. You can test current development versions of plugins if you wish: Icy Phoenix Plugins @ GIT.


Requirements
Before trying to install Icy Phoenix make sure you have the following STRICTLY NEEDED requirements:
  • 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

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/)

  5. Follow all the instructions on the screen, fill all requested data and complete the setup
  6. Delete or rename install folder
  7. Customize what needs to be customized in files and db (some files needs to be edited manually, while most of the options may be set in ACP and CMS)
  8. Enjoy your New Site

  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!

    • 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

The next update will have login via Google, a beginning of a plugin system for willing MOD authors, a few goodies, and a lot of fixes.
I have a MOD I made (converted) that doesn't require any code changes – like phpBB3.1 extensions :).

BTW MG, you think you can take a look at https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_plugins/pull/54 at some point?

Hi, Luca!

I still like this foro, but I dare not try to start this project because I hardly know anything about programming, and my English is not good    

I'll just come and admire it from time to time.

One of the thing to love about Icy Phoenix is that you don't need to get your hands dirty since it provides so much :).

Yes, you're right... But I can't handle too much of codes because I don't know... how do you say? Programming?
I fear to misconfigure the forum, and then not knowing how to fix it  

I'm going to pray for an administrator with two characeristics:
  1. Speak English very well.
  2. Know programming


At this time, I have a forumactif forum (foroactivo in Spanish). Can you imagine? Already I blew it! Technicians don't know where is the fail! No, my dear friend... It could be very frustrating if I spoil a forum of icyphoenix  

When God provide me my partner, you bet I'll come back to get this beautiful forum!

Don't worry too much about the programming part, we can help with that, usually it's not too complex.
