Andrea, you did a lot too! you are an incredible beta tester.

Thanks for the flowers.     But there were some more incredible testers I suppose. As is shown by the preceeding post of unknown.

If you are upgrading from a previous 1.5.1 RC version please use this package instead.
http://cbeta.yabbse.org/distrib/yabbse_1-5-1_update.zip

The "Sources" directory in this update package (and also in the SF update package) is containing slightly older files, they should be replaced by those from the "upgrade" package.

[[Unknown]]

That has been fixed, it was only a momentary mistake on my part :$.

You did do a lot, Andrea.... you found a lot of bugs, and provide wonderful support to countless users - what more can be asked?

Hi all,
Great to see the 1.5.1 version and my congrats to all behind this great work. But at the same time i am a bit sad/confused...

I am a final year engineering student and now working on my college website as my major project. It involves everything like setting up server, secured registration for students and staff, webpage design, members only area, stuffs.... PLUS yabbse discussion board integrated to the college_websites_registered users login.

My whole server side programming is with CGI/Perl and so a Perl(my website)+PHP(yabbse) integration is bit complicated...
I need to check the following stuffs....

=>Same cookie properties[common login]

=>No registration from yabbse interface.[only from my perl_registration modlue, which is handled by web_administration_perl_Script]

=>No profile edition from yabbse interface[only from my website interface, because need to modify two databases yabbse_Db+website_Db]

I belived that if i can achive this much, then i will have a integration of my college website with yabbse.


BUT today i found that the new yabbse 1.5.1 have got a completly different cookie+login logic...

To make things simple, can some body out there tell me details of what all changes you made in the user_login section?

Session id???
password_encryption???
more???

Vijoy~

thedifferenZ, please ask further questions in Scripting Help.

A new encryption method is now used, which involves md5.  You can find the function that does it in Subs.php... there's not much more I can say.

There's no way for you to get the session ID in Perl.  (Well, okay there is... but its far more difficult than you want to have to do.)  Sessions are a part of PHP... only.

I see the question about that changes have occured, has been answered. I am still waiting to hear info about the install "upgrade" process from 1.5.1RC1update45. I posted on page 1, but haven't heard anything about it yet. There is no readme in the upgrade package I download today. Thanks for any info on this.

Like I said, every file was changed.... thus, you need to upload all the files.  (except images and language packs, although it is recommended that you do, so as to make your forum more available to a larger audience.)

[xenon2000]

Ok, so all I do is upload and overwrite all the files in thier respective directories. And that's it? don't have to do any permissions? or run any files after doing so? I am just wondering why this package didn't come with a readme.html like the past ones have.

[Omar Bazavilvazo]

Added Global Moderators, also

David, Nemesis & andrea did a great job

Any admin>
Do you know why SF count of downloads still says 0?, even that many have already downloaded it?

[Daniel D.]

As always, I slept when the new version came out .

Thank you Unknown and also Compuart and Bjoern (Chris rules, but he knows it ) - like the others I can only say: "Great job !". I know that there are much more people who worked on this, but I forgot all the names ...

Have fun with it, the best version ever.

Daniel

P.S.: Please activate the up/down buttons here !

If I had to thank Compuart and the rest of the hardworking people behind YaBBSE everytime they did something for me, I'd be banned from this site for spamming too many "thank you's". =)

So, I'll skip that and would like to say that I sincerely appreciate y'all working on this open source software which really has no personal benefit (for you) except for the enjoyment of building something that kicks ass.  

So, in case you ever feel like we don't know how much effort you've put into this, we're here with all of you - we really do appreciate your work and your time.  

Cheers and I look forward to a bright future for YaBBSE.

purple raine's right, you guys do put a ton of work into this, i know how long programming things and debugging them can take.

Thanks sooo much to everyone that helped yabbse!!

especially [unknown], obviously i cant tell who did stuff behind the scenes, but all the way through that beta [unknown] was very helpful answering questions, getting the new info up, and fixing bugs!

im glad this is finally out.. it was nice to wake up to ..

i just hope i can get my ssi.php to work without causing me to many problems, as i use my own news script to show headlines and latest content on the same pages as i want to use ssi.php
