That is the main reason why I didn't do that yet... unfortunately there are no good coders here who are willing to actively help projects development. Now that phpBB 3 is almost a mature product I'm trying to make Icy Phoenix compatible with phpBB 3 mods, and that will allow me to drop some old and resource consuming features in favour of phpBB 3 brand new mods which should be written in a better way than the old phpBB 2 ones. The album is just the main example. I could integrate any phpBB 3 mod into Icy Phoenix now, it's just a matter of few hours of work, but then the main problem will be updating old Icy Phoenix sites to the new version... Even if I can port phpBB 3 mods easily it will require many days of testing the upgrade script and make it work under most configurations and web servers. So the point now is just in updating Icy Phoenix core code and write on purpose code to easily upgrade old DB structures. After I have finished with the core code and CMS, I will then focus on features and try to understand what I can remove and what not. I will recode features which I think are important and I will make less important features as modules. New version will likely be Icy Phoenix 2.0... Template system will remain almost the same, even if I'm thinking about just changing how header and footer are included, just to make coding tpl variables easier for users and designers. Anyway this is a huge work and a tough winter is expecting me... :P I will keep you updated. [quote user="Informpro" post="44897"]So, it will not update IcyPhoenix anymore ...[/quote] Well... don't tell me that you are using all the features Icy Phoenix has... :lol:
