Post Icy Phoenix 2.0 RC 1 
 
Hi all,
I'm glad to announce that Icy Phoenix 2.0 RC 1 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. At the moment apart of the styles included in the installation package only proSilver is available over 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 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/)
  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/

    • logs/logfile_spammer.txt

  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



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!

    • 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. Delete or rename install folder
  11. 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)

First of all i want thank you all again for your Excellent Work.
Icy Phoenix is the Best CMS ever made.

Secondly i want to confirm that all old Styles are working just fine with new version without BUGs or some minor bugs which are very hard to see them.
In my Site right now i have 30 Skins of the older version working just fine and you can see them Here (www.diadoseto.gr)

The only trick i made to make them work just fine was to copy the common.css from the old version IP on /templates/default folder.
Now all of 30 skins used are working fine.
With this trick with any clean install of Icy Phoenix 2.0 RC 1 (First Time install) you can use all the older version of Skins.

I know that this is not a fix but until all skins recoded for the new templates, is a solution for all those need to Upgrade right now without loose their current skins.

I also found many bugs on IP and Plugins, and i will help this nice community to fix them ASAP.
My Site must open at 01/06/2012, so i must hurry a bit...    

Thanks again for your work and soon will have news also from me regarding the Translation for Greek Language.

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.


Thanks for fixing it. But it also happens at the name of the Download Database, blocks, and link names, etc.

Another thing: when i want to add/edit a menu or a menuitem, it says:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

Make sure you are using last GIT version and confirm that you still have those issues.

Hello MG
I want to ask you if it is safe to do what the user "lostanimal" suggested,
in order to make use of all the old templates even in this new BETA version

it is perfectly safe. you can also open your file my_skin.css and update the beginning instead (safer):
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. @import url("../common/common.css"); 
  2. @import url("../common/common_dropdown.css"); 
  3. @import url("../common/common_colors.css"); 
  4. @import url("../common/fap.css"); 


great release MG. Very good work.

Edit: May I suggest that Lighting becomes the new default template of Icy Phoenix ? (or at least is incorporated in the default package). It would be really appreciated to be able to start working on a fresh forum with a decent template, and not a simple blank template.
