vBulletin Connect 5.7.5 Alpha 4 is now available for download. |
Changes and Updates in vBulletin 5.7.5
You can now download a preview release of vBulletin Connect 5.7.5. We do not recommend installing preview releases on production servers.
Notifications
We have improved the handling of notifications. Upon deleting content, the system will automatically remove related notifications. Notifications will remain if the user has permission to view deleted content.
AdminCP
We have moved more inline Javascript to external files to enhance security handling. Furthermore, we have resolved several PHP syntax warnings and notices. If you encounter any issues in the AdminCP, please perform a hard refresh or clear your browser history.
NoIndex
In previous versions, when using a query string (e.g., domain.com/?post=1234), a noindex meta tag could be placed on the rendered page. We have removed these tags from the content pages. The system will continue to add the canonical URL to prevent duplicate content warnings.
Rebuild Thread Information
The General Update tools now include the Rebuild Topic Information tool, which will rebuild URLs based on current settings. Additionally, if a topic does not have a meta description, it will create one using the first 300 characters of the topic.
Additional Issues
Strip comments and whitespace from files in vb.phar
The RSS feed poster did not work correctly when run from vbcron.php
Clean up error handling in creating content
Email Addresses over 100 characters cause issues.
Header Ad Dialog is not constrained to the screen.
Inline mod menu does not have the shrink child class
An error was shown when double-clicking on a topic title
update vb_backup.sh
The Orphaned Topics tool has been removed.
Clean up auto post logic
Remove spamlog record when deleting a node
Adding a hashtag to a reply node results in it being stripped from the post.
Clean up set_time_limit
Move next/previous version calculation to the base class
vB_Utility_String fallback to iconv instead of failing when mbstring and iconv both enabled

File Cleanup
With each version release, some files become obsolete. These files are mainly the Javascript Rollup files which are version stamped. However, we occasionally refactor PHP files and remove them from the distribution package. After upgrading your vBulletin system, you should delete any possible obsolete files. You can obtain more information on why this is needed and instructions on how to do this in this topic in the vBulletin 5 Installs & Upgrades forum.

vBulletin Connect 5.7.4 is now available. |
vBulletin 5.7.4 Changes and Updates
vBulletin Connect 5.7.4 is now available to download. vBulletin Cloud sites will be upgraded automatically in the next 7-14 days.
Page Manager
We updated the Page Manager and added tools that allow users to set the vBulletin home page and delete custom pages.
We have streamlined the processes after changing the home page in addition to this. We will remove the breadcrumbs on the new homepage and handle navigation tabs in the following manner.
If there is a tab for the previous homepage, the link will be updated to the canonical URL for the corresponding page.
If there is a tab for the new homepage, the link will be updated to the vBulletin root (i.e., '/').
If no tab exists for the new homepage, one will be created.
Navigation
Navigations Links can be assigned to a page within the vBulletin system using a drop-down menu. Pages, including channels, will be listed alphabetically. When set in this manner and when the URL of a page changes, the Navigation Link will automatically change to the new URL.
AdminCP Channel Manager
The date of the last activity is listed in the channel manager. This information can help administrators when merging or deleting channels to remove content that is no longer relevant.
Presentation config.php
The $config['core_path'] value is now obsolete and removed from the file. New installations will not have this variable.
This is the code removed:
// Assumes default location of core.
// These are the system paths and folders for your vBulletin files
// This setting is for where your vbulletin core folder is
$config['core_path'] = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/core';
Additional Issues
Twitter logins have been converted to use an OAUTH2 implementation.
You can now use a new 'Select All' control to choose all tags on the page while viewing the Tag Manager.
The URL BBCode and Preview system will no longer try to download large compressed files before adding the link to a post.
Custom Node fields no longer appear when editing a reply.
Additional Javascript refactors to modernize code and meet current standards.
