Welcome to Prxa.info this is the home of the PXBulletin forum software.

Hello everyone and welcome back! To put it simply PXBulletin is here to stay in my hands.

After exchanging emails with todd for a day or two i came to a decision to keep PXBulletin on the track it is on, meaning i will be developing it.

I am unsure what it will be release as - as of yet in terms of price, free, donation based, commercial licenses etc i have not 100% decided.

I also asked todd to become a support staff member which via email he agreed so from today please welcome him as the first Moderator of the forums! I value his input, he always has good ideas and knows what he is talking about, so he will be a valuable addition to the staff.

While all this was going on i was still coding and have finished a few more good features. The forum is actually in a better state than it has ever been.

This is a small bugfix release to help testers to help me

File Changes:


The captcha included is limited until 0.13.1+ (any next version) to recaptcha, while the files are still there they are unfinished and not working so don't bother with them. I am re-doing maths and pxb captcha to be class based for easy editing (and this time they will work hehe).

Database changes if you haven't already:
Todd Says: Just a reminder to everyone, if you're using prefixes, don't forget to add them.


After that you can run straight on top of 0.13

Thanks to todd for his usual bug reports .

Edit -> Added a good note from todd.

Welcome to the latest and greatest of my PXBulletin project! After a long time coming i decided to release it a bit early to get feedback from anyone interested in helping to create a great piece of software.

What's new since 0.12?

Release Notes
*After installing you will need to edit the forum url in the general config admin area (installer will do it in .14).

*It will probably have bugs. Please report them, i can't fix what i don't know.

*The member groups feature has not been finished, refer to the BETA todo list (which will actually be .14 the last ALPHA hopefully!).

*Do not use in a stable environment, this is simply one of the last test versions i would like people to properly test with me.

*Please test the installer

Special Thanks
Special thanks to todd and Tom1 for their constant ideas and comments.

Today marks a whole year since i released the first ALPHA snapshot of the PXBulletin forum software. Well it has been a long and bumpy road but we are nearly there now, finishing up the next ALPHA release has seen many back-end design changes come forth for a much better software!

.13 will be the first version of PXBulletin to feature an Installer! So you have no escuse not to test and help me find bugs when i release it

Sorry i did not do a monthly update this month, thought i would leave it until today to celebrate, also included in this post will be a few noteable changes since the last dev post too:

New Stuff since last time(http://forum.prxa.info/viewtopic.php?tid=80):

*Fixed poll creation.
*Installer!
*If the script cannot connect to the database it will now give a proper pxbulletin styled error message telling you so.
*Added in image bbcode.
*Inbox now has a "check/uncheck all" checkbox (idea from todd).
*When you register there is now a "terms of service" box to read and tick, changeable via language file for register.php (idea from todd).
*RSS feeds for forums (check the rss icon to the right of the breadcrumb navigation!).
*Last online list - admin bit to switch between 7 days and 24hours.
*Improved the friends page in the members control panel, now has a box for each member with the options and their avatar.
*Community Page
*Member Groups (not 100% finished yet but will be in .13).
*Add pagination to the friends page on member control panel.
*Re-did the register page template to match the forum more and makes it look better.
*Adjust register.php captcha showing to be templatable (so you can change how it is showed allowing greater flexibility when making new templates).
*Debug output spruced up with <pre> tags to make it easier to read the arrays.
*RSS icon will now always show in the breadcrumb bar if your template has it of course, you can choose to put it anywhere ;).
*Added new function to pxb class "membergroup_avatar" so when you make/edit a member group you can add in an avatar.
*Removed parts from the link parser bbcode that wern't needed.
*Re-did how the mysql connection is made (more flexible now).
*Fixed main stats re-sync to display correct post count - accounting for the newer way posts table works.
*Sql table prefix so instead of "members" table you can have say "pxb_members" table, for easier installation into an already populated database (a feature that i think would be highly needed for shared hosts).
*Module-ized the usercp.php (member control panel) works more like admin now, file was getting to big/a hassle to edit, makes it easier to edit different section now!


So as you can see even though i have been quiet on the news side, a LOT of work has been done behind the scenes.

Also a big note - PLEASE REPORT BUGS, i have updated the forum to newer code from the testing grounds, there may be some bugs, so please TELL ME!

Hello again time for another monthly update although honestly not really much to say this month things are quiet ish!

PXBulletin:
Work goes on today and yestarday i picked up development again after a week or so of nearly no developing after getting my head together after family issues.
Trying to get a lot of work done on it this month to get .13 release out which i am hoping to get out in around a weeks time!

Only one bug is really around at the moment and that is re-captcha does not work on the quick reply it always fails, but it works everywhere else, really can't figure it out, if anyone wants to grab a copy of the .13 code and take a look and test PM me and i will greatly appreciate it.

Server Move:
While trying to cut costs down i have moved prxa.info to a new server which is cheaper and provides still a great service so far no problems at all!

New Internet:
Also have new Internet at my place which me and my housemate sorted out so with the new router we won't get disconnected every 5 minutes, which is great for my checking up on the forums

Also...i am 21 in July woo!
