vBulletin 5.7.3 Changes and Updates
vBulletin Connect 5.7.3 is now available to download. vBulletin Cloud sites will be automatically updated in the coming weeks.
Third-Party Logins
Google Authentication has been refactored. The routines have been updated to Google's new APIs and use OATH2.
Twitter Authentication has been repaired with the current Twitter v2 APIs. However, registration via Twitter Authentication does not work at this time.
RSS Module
A new RSS Module is available for custom pages. RSS Feeds will be cached between updates. An option is available to specify how frequently a feed is updated. Due to the nature of gathering external data, page rendering can be delayed when the feed is updated. When using many RSS feed modules on the same page, there can be a significant delay when the cache is updated.
URL Previews
Several issues reported with URL Previews have been corrected:
URL Preview Caching will now work correctly.
Better image processing has been added for invalid images on some URLs.
A memory leak that occurred with many URLs in a post has been resolved.
Image scaling has been updated to provide a better presentation.
PHP 8.0+ Required
With this release , we will no longer support PHP 7.4.X. As of November 28th, 2022, PHP 7.4.X is EOL (End Of Life). Due to this, it is recommended that all customers upgrade to PHP 8.0 or higher as soon as possible.

vBulletin Connect 5.7.2 is available for download. |
vBulletin 5.7.2 Changes and Updates
vBulletin Connect 5.7.2 is now available to download. vBulletin Cloud customers will be upgraded automatically over the next couple of weeks.
Custom Node Fields
This new feature allows Administrators to define text and text area fields that are assigned to channels. When a user creates a new topic, defined custom node fields will be available.
How it works
The Administrator will create Field Categories in the AdminCP. Each category is assigned to one or more channels.
Within each category, the Administrator can create one or more fields that will get assigned to individual nodes.
When the End-User creates a new topic in that channel, the fields are available above the standard editor.
When the user saves their post, each field with a value will be shown above the post text in a key-index table.When saved, the field values are attached to the node. So if the node is moved to another channel, the field values will travel with it.
These fields only appear on the starter post.
The system will not show any field without a value assigned in the post.
Additional images are available in the gallery below.
URL Previews
The URL BBCode has been reworked to pull more information about the link. If you place the URL on its own line, it will behave similarly to the Link Content type after posting. Previews will include pulling a thumbnail and description from the linked site.
Inline links will work the same as always, as the new behavior isn't suited to inline display.
If you wish to turn this feature off, you can do so in the AdminCP under Settings -> Options -> BB Code Options. Set the Show URL Previews option to No.
PHP 7.4.X Deprecation
With the release of the next version of vBulletin, we will no longer support PHP 7.4.X. As of November 28th, 2022, PHP 7.4.X is EOL (End Of Life). Due to this, it is recommended that all customers upgrade to PHP 8.0 or higher as soon as possible.
Additional Issues
Resolved an issue that prevented proper resizing video thumbnails in responsive views.
Firebase Messaging Keys can be tested in the AdminCP under Maintenance -> Diagnostics.
The system will now correctly delete sub-channel routes when you delete the parent channel.
Page navigation data will no longer be cached.
Updated several AdminCP Manager pages to use standardized code generation.
Added a new method to update a user's password to tools.php
Resolved an issue that could result in PHP Warnings using Style Variable inheritance.
Resolved additional PHP warnings in the AdminCP.
