This version of uddeIM contains several new features and also some bug fixes and updates.
The changelog:
===============================
1.) New setting in backend: Admins can choose if the message text is included
in the email notification or not.
2.) Maximum number of allowed recipients on a userlist is displayed in the
footer.
3.) Appearance of menu bar can be chosen: text only, icons only, text and icons
4.) New maintenance function: uddeIM uses two XML files to ensure that it can be
installed on Joomla 1.0 and 1.5. On Joomla 1.5 one XML file is not required
and this makes the extension manager to show an incompatibilty warning (which
is wrong). This removes the unnecessary files, so the warning is not longer
displayed.
5.) A message can be directly trashed after sending.
6.) English and german language files cleaned up (removed approx. 50 strings)
7.) "Add CC: line" is checked by default now.
8.) Javascript popup notification removed from mod_uddeIM (this mode was useless).
9.) Some code optimizations (e.g. code for backend is 80kb(!) smaller).
10.) Bugfix "nouserlist"-parameter. uddeIM disabled the "To:"-field, so the recipient
was not sent. This results in that pms_uddeim_contentlink has not worked.
11.) Support for forum component Kunena added.
12.) Support for community component JomSocial added.
13.) Premium plugin for donators: Spamcontrol System added in backend (allows
users to report spam, so the admin can take appropriate actions).
14.) New icon added to uddeIM standard templates.
15.) Some minor bugs removed from CSS template files and new style class added.
16.) New plugin: uddeIM Search Bot for Joomla, integrates Message Search in
Joomla Search (note it is not possible to search inside messages when
message obfuscating, encryption or base64 encoding is used).
17.) Registered users cannot send messages to CB/CBE banned users (special users can).
18.) CB/CBE banned users cannot use uddeIM.
19.) Due to some optimizations, several SQL queries removed.
20.) mod_uddeim did not display any notifications when "No output" was set to "Yes".
21.) Accounts can be locked in the backend. Locked accounts cannot be accessed but
messages can still be received.
22.) Fixed a variable not found bug in cb_plug_pms_uddeim_profilelink.
23.) Following logic has been changed when uddeIM is in realname mode:
When uddeIM 1.6 was called with parameter "recip=<id>" the realname was read
and used as recipient in the compose message dialog. The problem was that the
message was send to the first user found when the realname was used by
several people.
uddeIM 1.7 does read the realname but the username when the realname is not
unique. So the compose message dialog shows the username instead even when
uddeIM uses realnames.
24.) The Itemid is requested for profile links, so problems with 3rd party SEF
should be fixed.
25.) A notification is displayed when "email stopp" is active.
26.) Path to captcha font added (a very few systems had problems without).
27.) Only users logged into the frontend are shown online.
28.) When a name starts with a "#", uddeIM first checks if a corresponding userlist
exists and if not it checks for the username.
29.) Some minor bugfixes.
