Development

The first version of a new plugin for Geeklog has been released. The FAQ plugin aims at filling the hole in the plugin collection already available and finally providing FAQ functionality for every geeklog site.

---

The new plugin features a linear topic structure and a translation module. At first, all entries are done in one language, and can then be translated into any other language. Users will see always the entries in their kanguage, as long a translation exists. If not, it will be listed in the default langauge.

Future versions will include: Hitcounters, voting, translation requests, search etc etc.

ATTENTION: This is a BETA release. Future versions will NOT include upgrade functions, so dont spend too much time inserting content! Although it works fine, this is for testing purpose only. Please report any bugs and feature requests.

Please download from the "Downloads" section of my site or on Geeklog.net

I would like to announce that the initial version of phpBBBridge has been released! This plugin is designed to integrate phpBB with your Geeklog install.

Please be sure to read over the enclosed readme very carefully. It contains detailed installation instructions as well as very important information about the plugin.

As this is the first release of the phpBBBridge, I would really appreciate any feedback and bug reports. Let me know what you think!

If you would like to test out this integration before downloading, I have the plugin installed at my demo site.

You can download the plugin from Geeklog.net, here, as well as over at my demo site.

We have tracked down the problem that has been occuring where the PEAR::Mail function causes an error. An older version of the PEAR::Mail package (which was distributed with all versions of Geeklog up to 1.3.9sr1) contained a bug that caused this error when safe_mode was enabled. Fortunately the fix for this is quite simple: just upgrade the PEAR::Mail package. This is not a security hole, so people who are not experiencing this error do not need to upgrade.

Upgrade instructions follow.
