We are proud to release our new "Ice rocks your socks off" version:

MOD-Titel: Board 3 Portal
MOD-version: 0.2.1
MOD-description:
Adds a portal with several blocks, which can be switched on and off via the ACP, to the front page of your forums.
This portal is a further development / fork of the phpbb3Portal. An update wizard and update instructions from phpbb3portal 1.1.0b, 1.2.2 and from version 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 are included in the package.

Changes to version 0.2.0:

• No longer required to be a founder to update/install, just an admin with "board" permissions.
• Fixed a news/announcements permissions bug.
• Fixed a bug when no news posts were viewable due to account permissions.
• Fixed a bug in announcements/news/polls due to shadow topics left after a topic is moved.

Changes to version 0.1.0:

• Polls have been completely reworked (checking permissions, show newest, etc)
• subsilver2 is included in the package (Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!)
• several bugfixes
• Forum names are diplayed with news / announcements
• Upcoming birthdays (configurable in ACP) - many thanks to Kendoo!
• Several stylefixes and improvements
• Welcomebox is not limited to 255 characters anymore
• Log messages in ACP configuration are displayed properly now
• The installer / updater (called PInUp) has been reworked

Changes from phpbb3Portal 1.1.0b to Board3 Portal 0.1.0:

• Completed the ACP management (all boxes could be turned on + off, the ACP management is now phpBB conform in the ACP tab "Mods")
• Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict! (prosilver)
• many bugfixes
• several new functions (e.g. read / unread topic icons + attachment icon at recent news / announcements, welcome box optional only for Guests, BBCode is parsed in textview when messages are cut when the max length is reached in recent news / announcements, etc)
• Language files are moved and renamed phpBB conform into language/mods, no language variables have to be added to the phpBB acp/common.php file anymore
• The DB entries which has been in the phpbb_config table are moved into a own table, (called phpbb_portal_config), because otherwise the whole board could suffer in performance (nearly 60 additional entries, who would be called on each site otherwise)
• The installer / updater is coded completely new
