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

[size=12][color=#dd2222][b]What's New Respect To Latest Stable Release[/b][/color][/size]

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


[color=#880000][b]Old templates[/b]: 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: [url=http://www.icyphoenix.com/styles/]Icy Phoenix Styles. Also you may want to keep monitored styles on 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 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: [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. You can test current development versions of plugins if you wish: [url=https://github.com/MightyGorgon/icy_phoenix_plugins]Icy Phoenix Plugins @ GIT.[/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]

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  :shock:  

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

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 :).

I fear to misconfigure the forum, and then not knowing how to fix it  :cry: 

I'm going to pray for an administrator with two characeristics:
[list=1][*]Speak English very well.
[*]Know programming[/list]

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  :oops: 

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

Re: Icy Phoenix 2.2
-----------------------------------
Well, this is the situation:

I have a forum in forumactif (foroactivo in spanish), it's free and really easy to manage.

We use to install some JavaScripts codes to get modifications that aren't in Administration Panel; but lately I have a problem with one of them, because some user registered in my forum escaping the JavaSCript that limit the length of characters of nicks. This is one example, but I had others problems with this codes.

Now I know that JavaScripts are like a door in the middle of an open field! Because now browsers can lock JavaScripts and what it's the point? They are like a joke!

So I have to ask: Do you need sometimes to install JavaScripts in IcyPhoenix forum?

Re: Icy Phoenix 2.2
-----------------------------------
No, not really. Icy Phoenix has a lot more customization settings than forumactif (Which I know pretty well because it's french), and also has a system of [b]plugins[/b]:

Someone can write some code to do what you want, and you'll just install it in the plugins/ folder. Much easier to maintain.

I only have servers I share with other people nowadays. Maybe others can chime in, I'm not sure where MG got this server :-).

For free "trial" (in that they aren't very good) host, you can try 000webhost.com - I know it's one I used to deploy some temporary websites.
