Development Build 16.04.i

In Brief…

Getting ready for release. New features in alerts, messages, forum, groups and BBpress migration.

Core

Alerts

Improved notice with more useful information in admin (WPS Pro->Setup->Manage Alerts) when user chosen not to receive alerts by email.

Forum

New option for [wps-forum]. Set header_freshness to change title of freshness column (table style).

Via “Manage All Forums” (WPS Pro->Setup), you can now delete forums.

Avatar

New option for [wps-avatar]. Set user_id=”user” to always show current user, or the ID of a WordPress user. Default will show avatar based on context of page in the site.

Extensions

BBpress

Can now migrate your BBpress forums to WP Symposium Pro forums. Work in progress, for now use at your own risk (but seems ok)! You need to de-activate the BBpress plugin, and we highly recommend that you take a backup of your database before migrating “just in case”.

Private Messages

Added option in “mailbox” to show all messages or unread messages only. The last choice by the user is stored for future visits.

Forum Toolbar

Remember, you can make changes to the default style of WYSIWYG mode by editing [path-to]/wps-symposium-pro-extensions/wps-symposium-pro-forum-toolbar/editor_styles.css.

Groups

New option for [wps-my-groups]. Set limit_to to a comma seperated list of group IDs to only include those groups.

New option for [wps-my-groups]. Set user_id (as a WordPress user ID) to force list of groups shown for that user.

Alerts

Improved notice with more useful information in admin (WPS Pro->Setup->Manage Alerts) when user chosen not to receive alerts by email.
