Im just curious.. is there a list somewhere of features that will be in 3.0?

I was thinking of installing a number of mods to 2.0 since I have some free time this week, but if they are going to be features of 3.0 I would rather wait until 3.0 is released (unless 3.0 is going to be a while)

I know there is the 3.0 preview, but a lot of features wouldn't be easily spotted in that.

I'm sure that people making mods would appreciate a feature list too.. perhaps mods they are working on for 2.0 might be features of 3.0?

just thought I would check anyways! Never hurts to ask. πŸ˜€

I was just about to ask this too because I wanted to update the features page. I feel like I've seen a list somewhere, but can't remember where.

That being said, 3.0 is still most likely several months away since it hasn't even come out for beta testing yet. But I think Tammy told me a few weeks ago that she was close to that point.

I've been trying to keep a list, and it's been in the download the developers have been working with. Here's the list as far as it stands.

- Ability to remove Featured Story status from Admin panel as well as retire a Featured Story. You can also now do this when editing a story.
- Ability for admins to edit and delete news comments from news archive page.
- Time format in settings. Removed separate news date format.
- Added pagination in news.php
- Ability to set your own classifications in addition to warnings and genres (i.e. Spoilers, Episode Related, Pairings, Language, Story Length, Story Type, etc)
- Ability to add custom pages from the admin panel.
- You can now customize the up and down arrows used throughout the script in the same way the other graphics (stars, etc) can be customized. The variables are $up and $down
- Added pagination to individual series page.
- Story counts are back. πŸ™‚
- Moved the javascript into header.php so no more problems with the formselect.js not regenerating. The info will
get pulled each time the page loads.
- Added Table of Contents link to the storyblock and viewstory page for stories.
- Changed admin links for featured stories in story block to let you either remove or retire the feature.
- Co-authors πŸ™‚ Yes. plural.
- Chapter end notes.
- Story notes.
- The validation function in the admin panel now uses storyblock.php for a more consistent look of story information across the site.
- When previewing a story in the the add/edit story functions, the script now uses storyblock.php for a more consistent look for story information across the site.
- The default yes and no letters (subject and text) when validating stories can now be customized using {variables} for:
{sitename}- the name of the site;
{adminname} - the penname of the admin sending the letter (text of letter only)
{rules} - a link to the submission rules (text of letter only)
{storytitle} - the title of the story
{chaptertitle} - the title of the chapter within the story
- You can now add custom admin panels.
- The main admin page will now tell you how many stories are in the validation queue. So does the info block.
- Session and cookie variables will now use a sitekey so that multiple sites on the same domain won't have problems with crossed login info.
- News comments are now saved under uid instead of penname so that changes in penname will carry over to comment info.
- TinyMCE can now be toggled on/off on the page.
- Members can now turn tinyMCE and story indexes on/off for themselves (TinyMCE can only be turned on if the site has it turned on)
- Members can choose the default story sort for themselves.
- Challenges have been made into an optional module you can install and uninstall as you choose
- Admins can now decide whether or not to allow anonymous challenges
- The number of responses to a challenge is now listed in the information for the challenge.
- Maintenance mode.
- Action log.
- Stories updated within the time frame of your "recent days" setting will now also be marked as "New!" (you can also define your own text or assign a graphic using $new in variables.php)

This is not an exhaustive list. I'm sure there's things that I've missed.
