phpFox2 RC3 Released
We are pleased to announce that phpFox2 RC3 (Release Candidate 3) has been released for public testing.
RC3 introduces mainly fixes in preparation for the stable release and several modules have been added into the default language package, however you are still unable to translate this version as there are still many phrases that need to be added.
We have temporarily disabled the ability to import products & themes via the AdminCP, you can do the default method of uploading the files manually via an FTP client until more tests are done with this routine.
If you would like to follow up with what version 2 offers check out our past releases:
Change Log
With this release we have fixed various issues:
- youtube releated videos
- IE6 BBCode Not Working
- Drag And Drop Profile Fields
- Forum should auto subscribe when you post
- Notifies me of my own comment
For a detailed list of all the fixes go here.

hi,
with disable of importing themes and templates from admincp, do i have to include all the files within the default theme folder or is it still in the parent structure, where i only need to upload several css (example i only change the layout and comment css) and images that i use for a theme to the specified folder (it will not show the no image or no css link as it search for the default parent theme ?) and will it get detected in the admin cp using this manual upload ?

Hi
Cal you plz mention upcoming release dates and it will be very nice if you make this topic like “sticky” or in put direct in Menu and make it permanent link which will help us to easily know the release dates. Now we need to do lots of efforts to find info about these dates.

Can you add a link for members who which to ad a or create a ad campaign.
Question about the Create an Advertisement There should be a link for person advertising to view the progress of his or her ads.
This important. I was looking at the Create an Advertisement feature looks very nice and improved. Please allow the members or sponser individual to create ad and have admin set it to paypal if member wich to advertise they have to paid a fee or credit can be given to a member or dicount. Now it this is done we have a winner on the advertising feature.
[Reply]
Also when the add is being display it would be nice to have a link on top of image or ad text “Advertise” or “Create Your Ad” so members can view there option to place an add too.
Also option for watermark on bottom advertise by domain or “name” just giving you ideas.
I also want to let you know what reall work on the video module “SHARE” link
everytime I saw a nice video or uploaded nice video I would share the video with all my members and this really work on getting the members to come back and login. So I like this feature but can be develop much better. I did not like the search was limited on users search, for admin there should be a link “Share to All User” or specific target.
Also another thing that work on the old version? The send crush. This was good cause it brings members back to login. These are things That we need to bring people back , Other ideas, College match on the register then display on the right side template “member you might know”
Also a rating section for female or mail saying displaying ” I like” and send a crush
- I send kiss ” member x send you a kiss
- Send a drink member x send you a margarita
- Sen a bible verse member send you a “bible quate
- Invitation to chat meeting send you a chat online meeting wenday x time
also a display of what people are doing? when people on your friend list add I am cooking, another member I am singing, another friend enter I am watch a new movie all this should be display like a list of comment or “thing your friends are doing”
This are great ideas. if you like to net work with me I can be reach at info@latingospel.com I being working with programmer for many years.

Yeap The phrases for the feeds are actually callbacks so if their respective modules havent been ‘translated’ (into language phrases) the feeds wont show translated, but we’re working on it

I’m thrilled to hear that you are testing v2 RC3 out and that you find all these bugs. Just shoot them up at the bugtracker and they will be looked over. Thank you, Cobra.
Cheers!
Here is how to install Theme but don’t Work:
[quote][edit] Installing a Theme
Unzip the theme you have downloaded. Upload the contents found within the upload/ folder to your sites root directory.
Once all the files have been uploaded log into your AdminCP and navigate to:
Extensions >> Theme >> Import Themes
Look for the table:
Manual Install
Here is where you can find all the themes that can manually be installed. Click on the “Install” to install a theme. [/quote]

I have notice a problem with the pass phpfox which I would like to request for this new version. That is users inbox or send box old mail over 30 days or 60 days should be deleted automatically to keep the database fresh and clean from taking up space.
Can you add this feature automatic to be set by admin how many days ? We don’t need 5000 members with junk mail seating in thier inbox and sendbox for over 6 months. This keeps piling up. What do you say everyone?

hope we’ll be able to disable these things of voting or rating features just like other features of the site so we don’t have to spend hours under the hood to figure out how to “disconnect” it.

I dont remember on the top of my head if these can be disabled, but I do know that pretty much everywhere in the script there are hooks, so to disable it “under the hood” would be creating a plugin (http://wiki.phpfox.com/guide/V2/Plugins) with something like:
return false;
