2006-12-13 23:30:00 - SMF Akismet MOD 1.0 released!
Category: News from old site
I'm proud to announce that the first non-beta release of the SMF Akismet MOD is now out! This version is only compatible with SMF 1.1 Final, and not any older versions. Also, if you were using the previous BETA version, you'll need to uninstall it before installing this version.
Changes:
- Updated MOD files to comply with SMF standards
- Now parses BBCode in posts in the Akismet admin panel
- Added version information to admin section
- Now marks any posts with subject of 'akismet-test-123' as spam (for testing purposes)
- In Subs-Post.php, use $posterOptions and $msgOptions arrays rather than $_POST variables
- Moved 'Akismet Configuration' option from Configuration heading to Forum heading
- Moved position of Spam warning above the topic buttons
- Moved 'Flagged as spam' message next to subject, rather than under it

I recommend that everyone trying the Beta version upgrade to this new version.

2006-10-10 12:21:00 - Updates to DanPHPSupport
Category: News from old site
After staying inactive for so long, I'm finally beginning to have free time to update DanPHPSupport. I'm currently doing some major changes, including:
  • Finally cleaned up most of the HTML to make it fully XHTML 1.0 compliant. Looking back at the coding, I realised that my original coding was quite messy, unlike my current coding.
  • Cleaned up some unneeded styles from the CSS file
  • Removed frames from administration panel, and instead implemented the menu in a DIV tab
  • Some slight security upgrades
  • Changed admin pages to use page names, rather than category and page numbers
  • Implemented TinyMCE rich text editor for knowledgebase entries
About the TinyMCE implementation, I'm not sure if it should be on by default. I'll probably make it so there's a seperate package to download for the TinyMCE editor (to keep the file size down).
This new version will be released soon.
2006-08-27 14:21:00 - New Downloads Centre
Category: News from old site
I've just implemented a new downloads centre, based on paFileDB. This will make it easier for me to organise all the downloads on this site. Currently, only SMFShop is available, but I'll add the other products when I have the time to. You may access the downloads centre at http://www.dansoftaustralia.net/downloads/.

P.S Yes, it's spelt centre, not center :P
2006-08-24 22:10:00 - SMFShop updated to support SMF 1.1 RC3
Category: News from old site
I've just updated the SMFShop archive so it supports SMF 1.1 RC3. So, if you're using SMFShop 1.1 RC3, SMFShop should work with it :)
2006-07-29 20:45:00 - SMFShop 2.2 now out!
Category: News from old site
Well, after a long period of inactivity, SMFShop 2.2 is now out! This release has many changes in it, and I would consider it quite a big release. This release has one of the most requested features - The ability to send an item in your inventory to another member (thanks to Basil Beard - My code is based on his). From a coding perspective, I've split up the Shop.php file in to several seperate files, as I think this will be more efficient (it was getting too big).

Anyways, here's the changes in this version:
  • A minimum can now be set for bank deposits and withdrawls
  • The 'Who's Online' function now says when someone is in the shop
  • A 'Send Money' link is now displayed next to people's posts (right underneath their Post Count)
  • PM's are used instead of emails when you send money, and in the Trade Centre
  • Added 'Who owns this item?' feature to 'Buy stuff' listing (so you can see who owns an item)
  • Ability to send an item to a member (much like the 'Send money to someone' feature)
  • A large portion of the Shop.php file has been split into different files (Shop-Buy.php, Shop-Inventory.php, Shop-Send.php, Shop-Bank.php, Shop-Trade.php). This was done because the Shop.php file was getting too large (in my opinion)
  • And some other minor changes

As usual, please see the SMF Mods page to download this new version :)
