Icy Phoenix 1.0.11.11 Release Candidate
-----------------------------------
Hi all,
I'm proud to announce the first Release Candidate of Icy Phoenix.

What's new in respect to latest beta.
[list][*]All template files reviewed and improved W3C compliance. Most important pages are now fully W3C compliant.
[*]Reduced the SQL charge on all the pages.
[*]Dropped the main IP config table and merged with standard config table.
[*]Blocks lang files removed and merged into one single file (thanks [b]brandsrus[/b]).
[*]Overall code cleaning and optimization.
[*]Written some docs.
[*]Completed the CMS Menu System.
[*]Added some check while registering.
[*]Caching of some extra SQL for improving speed.
[*]Added extra switches and constants.
[*]Splitted some lang files to help customizations.[/list]

Bugs fixed:
[list][*]Custom profile fields while registering.
[*]Wrong BBCode parsing under certain conditions.
[*]Wrong caching instructions.
[*]Some bugs in CMS.
[*]Extended config double db insertion.
[*]Wrong html headers.
[*]Missing CSS definitions.
[*]Fixed wrong sessions handling.
[*]Many small bugs.[/list]

This package should be quite stable: I'm testing it on 4 different sites since a couple of weeks, and as for now I didn't notice any major issue.

I've compared the new performances with the old versions and with some competitors... I won't go further into results and names... but I'm quite happy with all the good results achieved by Icy Phoenix. I've also installed phpBB 3 on a test site (since yesterday night in phpBB 3 CVS there is the new proSilver template!) to check performances, and phpBB 3 is really fast respect to Icy Phoenix... but on the other side it has less features. :wink:

Anyway I'm still working on performances and I hope to have something a bit faster before going final... in the meantime, try Fast And Furious settings in ACP... :wink:

As I have promised I have written some docs to help users in understanding Icy Phoenix and in installing and upgrading their sites.

Here you'll have some of them:

[color=crimson][i]During the Release Candidate testing, we will try to do our best to support this package. Should you ask for support, please consider that this is an open source community and me and all the Staff are doing all for free and in their spare time... be kind, be patient and respect other users efforts and hard work.[/i][/color] :mri:

In these days I'll add some extra templates and addons in the Download section... Stay tuned! :mri:


It's quite late for me... so I won't add anything else...

I would like just to wish you an Happy Easter (for those who believe) to you and your family.

Enjoy Icy Phoenix!
Luca Libralato



Of course a big thank you to the Staff!

Thanks for the hard work MG and the team.

I've had the same problem with installation as [url=http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?t=1338]this, and the same solution works.  As the table prefix is is ip_ rather than phpbb_ now, can you tell me if I have to rename PHPBB_INSTALLED to ip_installed?

I'm back and finally have some some time to test it out. :) 

It looks awesome! Great thanks developers and MG. (Now I forgot the staff members' names.)  8)

I'm using MyBB, I wish I can "somehow" convert to Icy Phoenix, but there is no converter for MyBB to phpBB.  :| 

Unless I try to make one myself using that unified thing. I'm not sure, I never made a converter. Anyone ever make one here?

Re: Icy Phoenix 1.0.11.11 Release Candidate

I'm running the latest release of phpbb 2.0.22, but it has a LOT of hacks added - Will these cause a problem if I switch to Icy Phoenix?

Are there any hacks available for Icy Phoenix? if so, is there a listing somehwere?

Apart from a basic message forum, I need a photo gallery, Links page, and a download manager.... I see that a photo gallery is included and a download manager - How easy are they to customize? Bearing in mind I know little about php programming!! Though I am happy installing mods/hacks...

Finally, is there a listing of features to be added to future versions?

Regards
Eddy
