PHP-Fusion

[Update] Code of Conduct

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:22:06 +0100

The PHP-Fusion Management Team decided to make a small addition to the PHP-Fusion Code of Conduct. It's about paragraph #3.2, relfecting our position on Products based on PHP-Fusion. This is something we had in mind for some while because there are already a few projects based on PHP-Fusion that (their authors) claim to be better in some ways. Considering writing a CMS like PHP-Fusion is not even nearly a day's job to take care of all features, requirements and security aspects, it is normal that using PHP-Fusion as a foundation requires a fair share of respect and a healthy attitude regarding its creators when advertising the new product.

PHP-Fusion is still a work in progress, just like virtually all other active software products so it's never completed and never satisfactory for everyone. This is why people start their own projects or build upon others, to reach the point where they have everything they need just as they need it. It's just a matter of being practical. With all due respect for developers who can take coding in their own hands and make something better for themselves and other users with similar needs, we introduced paragraph #3.2 in our Code of Conduct to remind them where they started from and that they should pay more respect to their foundation.

Having these said, please look into the details.

The PHP-Fusion Management Team also urges the National Support Site leaders to update their translations of the Code of Conduct to reflect the latest addition to our set of rules. Thank you.

The PHP-Fusion v7 manual is now online

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:40:12 +0100

Stop the presses! Read all about PHP-Fusion v7!

Finally, the PHP-Fusion 7 handbook is available. It's worth mentioning it took this much because the first version was made in Danish, by Jan Moelgaard, then the manual got through some more painful and time consuming tasks: it's been translated, adapted to English, having all screenshots created all over again. Then the PHP-Fusion Crew stepped in to check whatever might be inaccurate just before it got published. Hats off to Jan Moelgaard, who did a great job with the book!

What's new?
Well, you know... it's all about the core and the new features in PHP-Fusion. Written on top of its v6 base, the book now covers all the new core's particularities, including:
- multi-site
- new infusions system
- theme engine updates
- user administration restructuring
- forum ranks
- other stuff

Along with these you will find - we hope - everything you need to know in order to install and administrate your PHP-Fusion v7 website. Have fun reading!

PHP-Fusion 7.00.07

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:04:37 +0100

It is with great pleasure that I announce the immediate availability of PHP-Fusion 7.00.07! This release is a bugfix release, which fixes the following issues:

- preg_match error in maincore.php
- version number update
- year 2010 hard-coded

As usual, there is a full release package and an update package containing only the changed files. This time, a combo update is also provided for those who had not updated to 7.00.06 yet due to the preg_match error. The combo update contains the files from the 7.00.06 and 7.00.07 update packages.

I hope you will like this release as much as any other. I will soon post an update on the development of PHP-Fusion 7.01. Thank you once more for your continued support to PHP-Fusion!

Server outage

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:26:19 +0100

Hi all! First of all my best wishes for 2010 to everyone!

This morning (January 6th, 0730 GMT) all PHP-Fusion web sites suffered from a very unfortunate outage at our hosting provider. According to NetworkRedux, the server hardware became unresponsive, and a reboot was initiated. Everything appears to be resolved and running smoothly now. No data has been lost.

I would like to offer my apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your continued support to PHP-Fusion!

Update: some issues with the kernel of the host of our server were discovered and NetworkRedux was forced to patch them immediately due to the instability of the kernel. This has resulted in two more outages last night (January 6h, 2330 GMT), for which once more I would like to offer my apologies.

Personal message from Digitanium

Season's Greetings! I'm sure you've noticed that I've not been around much for some time. Having worked on PHP-Fusion for almost a whole decade naturally my passion and energy levels have dwindled somewhat. I decided to take an extended break in which I could pursue other projects and interests. In my absence the team have done remarkable job in keeping PHP-Fusion alive and well and brilliantly supported, for this I am eternally grateful (Thanks guys!). I'd name everyone but it'd take up too much room! Haha.

2010 promises to be another big year, I know the dev team are busy completing v7.01 (not sure of it's release schedule). Early plans are under way with regards to v8 although I can't provide any details yet, I will be heavily involved that's for sure!

I would like to thank each and every one of PHP-Fusion's users, you make our efforts so very much worth while, we appreciate your support in ways words cannot describe! I would also like to say a special thanks to those of you who have paid for licenses and copyright removal.

Have a wonderful new year!

Nick

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

On behalf of the PHP-Fusion Crew and myself I would like wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

2010 will be an exciting year for PHP-Fusion, as we will be releasing v7.01 next year as well as more details on PHP-Fusion 8. As I have said in my previous post, we cannot reveal much yet, but I am confident it will be well-received.

Thank you, once again, for your support in 2009 and we would love to still have your support in 2010! Happy holidays!

Quick development update

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:16:37 +0100

Hello all! I wanted to post a quick update on the development of PHP-Fusion so you all know what we're working on behind the scenes. We are currently busy finishing up 7.00.07, which fixes a minor and a major issue in 7.00.06 (both non-security), and we are working hard on 7.01. We cannot say exactly when 7.01 will be released, but we are making good progress and are almost ready to enter the testing phase.

Besides that, we are starting to look ahead into the future and focus more and more on PHP-Fusion 8. Currently we're solely in the planning phase and have not done anything code-wise yet. I expect we will be making solid plans the coming two months before we start taking feature requests, etc. But you'll hear more about that later.

For now, this is it. Thank you for your continued support to PHP-Fusion and we will keep you posted!
