PhpFox 2.0.5 Released

We are pleased to announce that phpFox 2.0.5 has been released. 2.0.5 is a maintenance release, however it also includes several new beta features we are testing that will be part of 2.1. This will be the final maintenance release that will include new features for communities to test publicly. Our next release with new features will be 2.1, however we will still continue to release any needed maintenance versions up until v2.1 is stable.

Whats New?

  • Admins will be able to approve new members before they can be part of the community.
  • Admins can now manage (add/edit/delete) currencies and not be forced to use the default USD.
  • Marketplace has been updated to support multiple currencies and not be forced to use the default USD.
  • Exchange Rate API support. We use this in certain areas like the marketplace where User A is selling an item in USD, while User B has selected EUR as their default currency so we use the API to make a on-the-spot currency exchange.
  • Added a new “no image found” for items without photos (eg. groups, events etc…), which before would show the default “no image found” for users. So we separated the “no image found” for users and items.
  • Admins can control if during registration it will display “Full Name” or “Display Name”.
  • Admins can now disable the “Username” on registration allowing users to create usernames at a later time. This can bring down the registration form to: Email, Display Name, Password
  • We have added the ability to resend the verification email in case the user was not able to find the email the first time.
  • Support included to store data (eg. photos, videos, mp3s) on Amazon S3
  • Users can now create ad campaigns which are purchased on the spot.
  • Users can purchase sponsorship spots for items on the site (eg. photos, marketplace listing, events) so they can promote their items.
  • Users can sell items via the marketplace and funds are automatically sent to their payment gateway of choice (default: PayPal, 2checkout etc…)
  • TinyMCE Editor Plug-in included
  • Facebook Like Button added on several items: Blogs, Photos, Videos, Groups, Events, Marketplace
  • Memcached support added
  • MySQL Replication support added
  • Admins can enable an option to force a secure connection via HTTPS on their registration, login, account and privacy setting pages.
  • Approval System has been updated to include support to moderate: Blogs, Forum Threads, Forum Posts, Groups, Bulletins and Comments
  • Flood Control System has been updated to include support for the following: Blogs, Photos, Groups, Videos, Quiz, Events, Marketplace
  • Promotions System added where Admins can create promotions to automatically upgrade users to another user group based on their activity points and/or days they have been a member.
  • Admins can now mass approve, ban, un-ban, verify, resend verification email and delete members.
  • Added ability for Admins to search for a users IP and perform a mass action.
  • Added the ability to add multiple genders based on client requests.
