As you can see from the main news story, eFiction 3.0 has been released. Click on downloads to get the latest version of eFiction. Upgraders, PLEASE back up your database and files before you upgrade. Things can go wrong. Make sure you have something to fall back to if they do.
Also, since this is not exactly anywhere clearly visible, here is the features list (quoted from one of your posts Tammy):
Features List
- 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. 🙂
- 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 🙂 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)
