Plugins

The plugin glMenu allows you to take control of your site menu's with an online menu editor and create dynamic themed menus. The latest version includes a number of new features which are described on the portalparts site and the wiki documentation gives you a comprehensive overview of the screens and features. It's now even easier to theme with the online color editor and menu styles.

I am pleased to announce the latest release of CAPTCHA v2.1.1 Plugin for Geeklog. CAPTCHA 2.1.1 provides an additional level of defense against spam bots. This new release builds upon the original gl-captcha hack and now provides easier installation and easier integration with Geeklog and other plugins. Version 2.1.1 moves all the configuration options to an online editor, provides the ability to have the CAPTCHA image reloaded to improve the user experience and includes an additional set of simplier static images.

Beginning with CAPTCHA v2.0 there has been a joint effort with the Geeklog development team to add support for using this plugin with several core Geeklog features. Starting with Geeklog v1.4.1 and Forum v2.6, if the CAPTCHA v2.1.1 plugin is installed, you can now enable CAPTCHA support for the following Geeklog functions:

• New user registration
• Post comment
• Email user
• Email story
• Story submission
• Forum Post submission

This integration does not require any code modifications to the Geeklog distribution, support is there out of the box. See the online documentation for more information.

The 5th and final release candidate of the forum project version 2.6 has just been released. It's been a few months of work and I appreciate the testing and feedback by the community. I'm sure there are a few remaining issues but it's been well tested over the past few months.

I've included a summary of the changes and you can refer to the plugin which includes a txt file outlining all the changed files.

There are no database changes so all that should be required is to replace the changed files or complete directories. Existing sites running a previous RC release do not need to run any upgrade/update - just replace all the plugin files.
