PhpBB KB 1.0.2 Released

[Imladris]

PhpBB KB 1.0.2 has been released
The final version of 1.0.2 is out! Hopefully we have rid it from a lot of problems, and it should be very stable now. It also includes one large new feature, a subsilver2 template! The subsilver2 template isn't bugfree yet, but I hope you will enjoy it. I also updated the rating stars to look more neat and included new buttons, many thanks to Jesper Møller from phpBB2.dk.

• Issues fixed:
• Fixed small language bug
• Fixed XHTML validation errors
• Added username change support
• Added user deletion support
• Fixed article description not showing on view article
• Fixed comments pagination
• Added user articles on viewtopic
• Fixed several cosmetic things
• Added subsilver2

This version has been submitted to the moddb and is awaiting validation, enjoy

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
If you downloaded the above files before this post there is a bug in it, causing a PHP notice to appear when posting a new article. To fix it do the following:
Open: includes/kb.php
Find:

Code: Select all

$data['edit_type'] = check_edit_type($data, $edit_data, $update_message); 

Replace with:

Code: Select all

$data['edit_type'] = ($this->mode == 'edit') ? check_edit_type($data, $edit_data, $update_message) : array();

ANOTHER TINY FIX
Yes I've been a fool when I created these packages, or at least when I tested them, apparently DEBUG was turned off, anyhow, another tiny fix. And I hope it is the last one. Either download a new package and replace includes/kb.php and includes/functions_kb.php or follow the below instructions.
Open: includes/kb.php
Find:

Code: Select all

if($tags != $data['article_old_tags'] || $tags != '') 

Replace With:

Code: Select all

if($tags != $article_data['article_old_tags'] || $tags != '') 

Find:

Code: Select all

'request_id'                    => (int) $article_data['request_id'], 

Add After:

Code: Select all

'edit_data'                        => $edit_data, 

Open: includes/functions_kb.php
Find:

Code: Select all

if($mode == 'edit' && $data['article_status'] == STATUS_APPROVED && $old_data['article_status'] == STATUS_APPROVED && $data['cat_id'] != $old_data['cat_id']) 

Replace With:

Code: Select all

if($mode == 'edit' && $data['article_status'] == STATUS_APPROVED && $data['edit_data']['article_status'] == STATUS_APPROVED && $data['cat_id'] != $data['edit_data']['cat_id']) 

Save and upload files.

Great - and congratulations to the new release!
It's getting better and better!

Just a few comments:

• when clicking on 'article history', I get php error messages
  

  Code: Select all

  [phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/kb.php on line 4168: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4390: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output st [..]

• for some reason I can't see the 'request article' button (using subsilver2) ? (no priority, just nice to have since the option is displayed in my left column anyway with a text link)
• it would be good if the 'social bookmarks' feature could be disabled as a whole, or if it is enabled, to have a way to select which ones I want to offer (no priority, just nice to have)
• Admin and mods should be able to open the pending request articles to get a glimpse on their state (medium important)
• the knowledge base template for subsilver lack a header and footer line containing a hierarchy including a link to the forum index ('breadcrumbs') (would be good to have so that I don't have to add it by myself with every update..)

kind regards,
r.

[richey]

p.s. in addition to the current state of articles readable for Mods and Admins, the status message ('This is a new request which has been taken on by..') should also display the date when the article has been taken over to give some information whether work on it has stalled/died or if it's fresh.

Also, Admins and Mods should be able to edit all posted KB articles, and be able to open or reassign pending articles.
Edit: found that this is possible through Global Moderator permissions. However, I think it should be possible to have seperate settings for Admins - permissions to delete articles or to change the author I'd like to restrict to myself in all modesty.

Then, in a real world, it happens that users leave a board. This would leave orphaned KB articles. Now, I created a new usergroup as 'Knowledge Base Authors' - so ideally, all users of this group should be able to edit all articles in the KB (new configuration options) ... unless they are locked (in a KB maybe we could call that 'marked as complete') by a mod or admin (new option)!

thanks,
r.

p.s. just curious - why are we not able to use Avatars here? Allowing at least linked avatars woudln't even take up server space..

Hi,

beside the error concerning the articel history (I simply have the same), I have an additional one after the update to 1.0.2



I already uploaded the files again, refreshed everything, but it still lokks a little strange

Do you (or someone else) have probably an idea, what might be wrong?

EDIT: Ok. Forget this one. I refreshed everything except the browser
So this one is now correct. So finally only the one left, which you and all the rest have


Thanks,
femu

BTW. Will there be addidtional instructions for the language files? Or are these the same as with RC3 (just for the translation stuff) ...
