Beta 9.5 version of Pligg released

锐子 · May 1, 2007

Changelog:
* Enhanced RSS importer module - The RSS importer is now a module and has many new features including Import pre-existing feeds and support for random votes.
* Story page tabs - Each story page now uses tabs like digg. There are 3 tabs, comments, who voted, and a new feature, related stories
* Related links - Added a new related stories feature returns stories that have related tags. Code can be found here http://forums.pligg.com/showthread.p...elated+stories
* Un-vote - Now users can un-vote stories they have voted for
* Mass delete private messages - Delete as many PM as you want at once.
* Fixes for IIS - Ash has added some code that will hopefully get Pligg working better in IIS. We need some testers for this since we don't have IIS to test with.
* Top stories in category - Added a feature that changes the "Top Stories" sidebar module to "Top stories in category X" when a category is selected.
* Search for users - On the profile page users can search for other users
* Image upload module - Upload images and use the thickbox javascript library to view them (Thanks Cent)
* Digg users module - Allow your users to enter their digg name in their profile and an rss feed for their submitted and voted on stories is automatically generated in the rss importer. Admins can then import these stories into their Pligg site. Thanks (jstayii/uncle_jesse)
* Major database query enhancements - There are no official numbers yet but AshDigg has done an awesome job eliminating many calls to the database. A quick estimation shows that the database calls in version 9.1 was 170+ and now it's 50-60. This should substantially increase the speed of your Pligg site.
* "Reporting/Burying" Stories - Users can bury stories that are spam, inaccurate etc etc. Burying a story grays it out to signify you have buried it.
* Email all users module - A module that lets you create a message to send to all of the users on your site
* Page statistics module - A module that allows your users to view all the stories and how many views each story has had.
* Filter by year - A link to filter top stories for the entire year was added to the existing links on the front page.
* Latest comments - A new sidebar module that shows the latest comments has been added.
* Custom 404 pages - Now you can easily enable a custom 404 page for your Pligg site.
* Upgrade to Template Lite 2.1 - Upgraded Pligg to the current version of Temlpate Lite.
* "Save" stories - A new feature has been added to Pligg that lets users save or bookmark any stories they want. The stories are saved under a new tab called "Saved" in their profile. (thanks eH9116)
* Formula Manager module - A new module has been added that allows an admin to easily modify formulas that are used and their Pligg site. Currently, you can only edit the "report/bury" formula. Hopefully more can be added in the future.
* Upgrade to ezSQL 2.03 - upgraded to the latest version of ezSQL for better mysql query handling.
* Enhanced Admin Panel - There have been some major improvements to the Admin Panel. I'll go through each one below

* Statistics - Your site statistics have been added to the main admin panel page. Some of the statistics include: newest member, latest comment, latest submission, total members, total links, total comments, total votes etc etc
* Search users - On the main user management page you can now search for users. You can search by name, email address, level, and date joined.
* Create new user - Create users from the admin panel.
* Link Management - As an admin you can do a mass update of stories via the admin panel. You can select multiple stories and either discard, queue, or published them with one click of a button. Admins can use this area to search for any stories, too.
* Template Editor - Now admins can easily edit any of their template files via a new template editor. This saves the time having to get out your FTP client to make a small change.
* Comment Manager - A new comment manager allows admins to delete or edit all comments from the admin panel. Mass deletion of comments can be done with a single click. Admins can use this area to search for comments, too.

* Avatars in top users - The large avatars are now shown next to user names in the top users list
* Vote counts in sidebar - Now in the sidebar you can view the vote counts for each story
* Title of stories links to external news site on story page - Now when your users are viewing the full story they can click on the title to view the external link
* Avatars in "view friends" page - Now when you view your friends you'll be able to view their avatars next to their user names
* Vote count is RSS feeds - The vote count for each story has been added to the RSS feeds.

These are just the new features. Many bugs have also been fixed but that list is probably twice as long.
