uddeIM 1.1 is now some weeks old and - thank goodness - no major bugs have been found except a few small problems that have been fixed in Hotfix 1 and 2.
So it is time to give you an overview about the work on uddeIM 1.2. Originally it was planned to make uddeIM 1.2 a bugfix-only release or a maintenance release. When you have watched the development of uddeIM over the last months you already now that there have always been new features with every new release and so also uddeIM 1.2 contains some improvements.
Currently I have no release date for uddeIM 1.2 but it will definitely not before August).
"beta2" is available on my dev page, now. When you are interested in installing it, please visit:
slabihoud.de/software
Please note: It is for advanced Joomla users only.
CHECK THE README BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION!
First install "beta1" and then overwrite the existing files with the "beta2" files.
Do not make this version available on other sites since it is not an official version! The language files except for english, german and finnish have not been updated yet!
Features which are already implemented (or I am working on) are:
beta1:
1.) plug_uddeim_mailbox uses language file of uddeIM.
2.) "runame" parameter accepts multiple names.
3.) Bug in cb_extra.php fixed.
4.) CB "nophoto" was not shown when CB Gallery was enabled and gallery photo was specified
before.
5.) Creating of new userlists failed when Joomla was not installed in the root directory.
6.) Changed the Autocompleter behavior according Character encoding.
7.) User settings navigation in backend failed on Joomla 1.5.
8.) When using the maintenance function in backend an error was shown when a forgotmenot
email was send.
9.) Some minor language file related bugs fixed in plug_uddeim_inbox plugin.
10.) A few layout bugs fixed.
11.) Several SQL queries speed optimized
12.) When downloading messages from the archive and a message was written by a public user
the sender's name was empty.
13.) UTF-8 characters were not displayed correctly when uddeIM was called from 3rd party
component.
14.) Replies can be truncated automatically when the max text length is exceeded.
15.) When recalling a message the old recipient of the message is now used as default in the
recipient field.
16.) A checkbox allows adding a CC-lines when "Multi users" features is enabled. uddeIM does
only add this line below the message when two or more recipients have been entered.
17.) Forwarding a message does not display the full message on top of the text input field.
18.) mod_uddeim supports AJAX requests, so it shows new incoming messages immediately
(the floater and popup will currently NOT appear when a new message arrives).
19.) Greek translation (frontend only) added.
20.) Since a few people do not check the README before they update, I added a reminder in
the installation routine.
21.) Important messages can be tagged (or flagged). You can enable this in the backend.
22.) uddeIM supports Fireboard avatars, now.
23.) You can select if a username/avatar links to the CB profile or FB profile.
24.) You can select if an avatar is taken from the CB profile or FB profile.
25.) Some language file strings fixed.
26.) System/General messages are sent to unblocked users only.
27.) It is possible to overwrite the automatically detected Itemid in backend (also works in
mod_uddeim, plug_pms_uddeim, and plug_pms_uddeim_inbox
28.) Registered users can be blocked to send PMs to other registered users.
29.) Blocked groups will not longer be listed in the all user lists.
30.) mod_uddeim_mailbox shows menu icons optionally.
31.) You can display some statistics in the backend.
32.) Some security related improvements.
33.) You can adjust the timezone in uddeIM backend, now. The adjustment does not effect
existing messages.
34.) Message teaser in mod_uddeim is optionally, now.
35.) Autocompleter can be used on public frontend (I don't recommend to use it on the public
frontend).
36.) Members of blocked groups will not be listed in autocompleter.
37.) Automatic login problem fixed on Joomla 1.5. uddeIM modules said "You are not logged in"
when a user re-visited a site (nevertheless it was working fine after a page reload).
beta2:
1.) FB requires an Itemid in order to show user profiles.
2.) Trashcan queries optimized: querying the message list is only done when there are
messages stored in the trashcan.
3.) Added a fix that allows to store messages in base64 format in the database (so people
with character encoding problems because of a wrong database setting have full UTF-8
support).
4.) When forwarding copy2me messages it looked like that sender and receiver have been
switched. Now these messages are handled in a special way, so the sender and receiver
are shown correctly.
5.) Bugfix: forgetmenot emails were not sent in 1.1 and 1.2beta.
6.) Language file contains "To" in upper case (used in captions) and lower case (used in
"to Username").
7.) Error fixed in plug_pms_uddeim when group blocking was used.
8.) Importer added for myPMS OS 2.x
9.) Importer added for myPMS Pro 1.x
10.) Importer added for JIM Reloaded 1.x
11.) Importer added for myPMS Enhanced 1.x
12.) JIM importer improved (already deleted messages are not undeleted)
13.) myPMS Enhanced importer improved (already deleted messages are not undeleted)
