Title: Who want to be an SMF theme builder? Post by: Exploited on March 19, 2008, 05:58:47 am SMF recently upgraded their forums to 2.0 beta3, so the 2.0 final is on the horizon. I made a test recently and our forum successfully converts to the beta... except the theme. Overal it works, but some major features are not working and few java script errors are thrown as well.
The current (and only one) theme is called "Tux Red Planet" and it is made by "simply sibyl". Sadly it looks like that this guy is not going to upgrade the theme to the new 2.0 style (it is actually theme for SMF 1.1 and we are already on 1.1.4, but he did not performed upgrades - this made me some troubles with the arcade games section for example)... Now - is there anyone around familiar with SimpleMachines themes? What do you think of making one MotoHell SMF theme (for 2.0 of course) from scratch... We can even think of some kind of reward for a good job (well I am not too rich, but I guess we can make some deal with ads or some donation). Anyone? I am going on vacation for 5 days... I will look to this thread when I am back (not that I expect huge interest by hundreds of members LOL) :) Title: Re: Who want to be an SMF theme builder?

Title: Re: Who want to be an SMF theme builder? Post by: pizzadox619 on March 20, 2008, 06:36:38 pm SMF 2 beta 3 Public Release
Quote Simple Machines is extremely proud to announce the long awaited release of the first public beta of SMF 2.0. SMF 2.0 has now been in development for over 18 months, and in beta with our Charter Members since August last year. Feature complete, and having undergone considerable testing and bug fixing, we are now ready to put it into the hands of the public for wider testing. Importantly, this is a beta - and the first public beta at that. We strongly recommend that you do not use this package on a production site as it will contain bugs and issues. In addition whilst we'll do our best to support people running the beta our support team's primary focus will remain 1.1 during this period - so please be patient if you do experience a problem. Also, we request you note the following caveats: All existing mods and themes are almost certain not to work until their authors have an opportunity to rewrite them. The upgrader will do its best to upgrade previously installed themes. However, this is not fool proof and you are likely to need to tweak old themes and update them to take full advantage of SMF 2.0 functionality. Language packs for 1.1 will be out of date and need updating - this might take some time. Users who currently integrate SMF into their site using any of the non-standard SSI functions (Such as using the db_query function) will need to change their integrations to use the new query system in 2.0. More information on this can be found here. The changes in this release from 1.1 are immense - and we can't list them all here. We recommend you take a look at the changelog on the download page - some of the highlights include: Database abstraction including support for PostgreSQL and SQLite Post and attachment moderation - setup through board permissions. Additional group management features such as group moderators and joinable and requestable groups Comprehensive user warning system. Paid subscriptions to allow people to make a payment with PayPal to get additional group access Personal message labeling system and new viewing options OpenID support - to enable users to login and register with their OpenID account Custom profile fields to enable admins to setup new profile fields in addition to the default WYSWIYG editor, to improve the user posting experience Ignore boards and ignore user functions - so users only see what they want to see Scheduled events and mail queuing systems to add additional functionality to the forum Admin and user logs to track who makes what changes to a user's profile A moderation center to bring together all moderation functionality into one place for all people with moderation abilities The download packages are the same as for 1.1 - simply choose the install or upgrade package depending on your requirements. If upgrading please, please remember to backup first. Please do not use this topic for support questions - use the dedicated 2.0 Support Board. Guides for installing and upgrading can be found on the Online Manual. Note that downgrading is not possible. On a quick note to mod and theme authors, we are currently working through the templates to move towards more semantic HTML layout. Unfortunately we didn't complete this in time for this beta, but this will make the next release, so please bear this future change in mind when looking at updating your mods and themes. Finally, we thank you for your patience and hope you enjoy using this software as much as we have enjoyed making it. http://download.simplemachines.org/ Thank you, Simple Machines To unsubscribe from these announcements, login to the forum and uncheck "Receive forum announcements and important notifications by email." in your profile.

Title: Re: Who want to be an SMF theme builder? Post by: Exploited on March 24, 2008, 09:08:56 am ok... in that case we may search for new theme when SMF 2.0 final is released :) We will think about it. Lock
