RC4 introduces mainly fixes in preparation for the stable release and the completed default language package (English U.S.).

With the completion of the default language package this will now allow the product to be translated into other languages.

RC4 was scheduled to be our final RC version before hitting our stable release, which we estimated was going to be released on November 4, 2009; however we feel the product is not ready and do not want to risk rushing and releasing an unstable product to only thereafter release patches. We are pushing back the final stable release date to December 23, 2009. Every Wednesday until that date we will be releasing a new RC version so clients who are already running phpFox v2 for their live sites will be up-to-date with all the latest bug fixes.

To make up for the delay we will develop 3 new features that will work similar to how it works on Facebook. These features include…
1) Mutual friends block on a users profile.
2) Friends suggestions within the sites dashboard.
3) Like/Unlike system on news feeds.

On November 4th, RC6 will be released and this version will be fully supported by our official support team. RC4 is already supported in terms of install/upgrade issues and once we reach RC6 it will be fully supported.

For anyone that will have their “Support & Upgrade Renewal” run out before stable release of phpFox2 will not have to worry about upgrading to phpFox2 and having to extend their “Support & Upgrade Renewal” package. Due to the recent delay every valid license holder can download phpFox2 free of charge on its final stable release date and any updates from that day and 30 days after.

We will be picking three winners and the requirements for winning the bugreporting contest are based on the member’s amount of bugreports and the value of the bugreport(if the bug gets confirmed). The contest will end once v2 is announced as stable.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them here.

Please submit the bugs you find at the bugtracker and not here on the blog or the demo.

If you have the time and interest then do join the contest and help us improve phpFox v2!

Superpoke plug-in for phpFox v2.

Download

This theme is released under the MIT License.

Free for download here.

Requirements

phpFox 2.0.0rc3 or higher.

Installing a Product

For information on how to install a product go here.

Description

With the release of RC3 we wanted to test the install routine for 3rd party products and thought it would be best to release a small plug-in for our clients to try.

This plug-in will evolve into something more complex overtime, however for now it does the basic function of allowing users A to poke user B and mention it within the site feed.

The plug-in itself is inspired by the Facebook “Poke” feature and is in its “Alpha” state. Clients are more then welcome to use this plug-in, however note this plug-in will not be supported by the official phpFox support team; as it is being released for developers to learn the new product system.

If you have any questions or run into any problems with the plug-in just let me know and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

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.

I then tried the Twitter mod for phpFox 1.6 made by PhpSNS(or as our community know him as @Santocki) and wanted to recommend this plug-in for those who want their members in their social network, running phpFox, to view their tweets and follow tweets.

It has some great features, such as flood control which can be managed from the AdminCP. It also supports the Advanced Points add-on, which is practical if your network is based on point per activity, where your members gain points for each activity they contribute to your networking site.

I checked the thread for this add-on and overall everyone seems very content with it. Updates and support looks very good(referring to the thread). Reviews about PhpSNS are all positive within the community.

You want your members to tweet directly from your site? Then I would recommend you to check out the awesome Twitter Mod!

More recommended add-ons for 1.6 will come. :)
