Premium add-ons are being updated for miniBB 3.0

These days I've started the work on updating all premium add-ons for the newest version of miniBB.
Mostly, all changes will affect the layout and how it looks. However, some of the add-ons will also have new features added.
In this thread, I will post about all updates gradually.

At first, Checker and File Bank add-ons were updated, as they are the only premium add-ons present on miniBB support board.

File Bank contains the new set of icons for the files list, $eeol setting for using in the notification email, and there is a bit of more comfort added when uploading multiple pictures one by one - in that case, most likely all pictures will be uploaded in the same folder, with the same thumbnail settings, and the script now will take information about the most recent picture uploaded by the author, and will try to reload its settings on the uploading form.

Forums Checker mostly contains a bit of reworked and fixed layout, and there are no functional changes.

Will continue to work on the other add-ons and hope to post some new here soon.

I'd like to confirm that the Images/Files Attachments add-on is now completely updated to miniBB 3.0., incl. the update for the mobile version.
Yes, in mobile version it will be also allowed to attach files, if your mobile device allows it.

Comparing to the previous version 2.1.1, changes mostly affect the mobile version.
List of updated files:

- addon_fileupload_options.php - depending on the `if(!defined('MOBILE'))` condition, different settings may be loaded;

- addon_fileupload.php - updates regarding $fileUpload and $fileUploadPopUp vars;

- language pack [lang/fileupload_eng.php] - $l_uploadFile, $l_chooseFile should have now a complete HTML formatting included. They are also followed by the mobile version's condition. I have also updated all language packs included, to have these conditions installed (Bulgarian, Russian, Vietnamese, French, German, Hebrew and Spanish, which are currently provided with this add-on).

The upgrade is mostly for those who cares about their security, and tries to be up-to-date in everything. Actually, these changes are not even visible for the core miniBB version. I continue working on the whole miniBB demo to have these changes present.

Private Messages add-on was updated today to the version 2.4.2, which includes mostly minor updates regarding miniBB 3.0 layout and the mobile version. This add-on will be available in the Mobile version as well. Still there is one major fix: the message form is not opened until it's not allowed to send a PM (in the older versions, errors were appearing only after the form is being submitted, and so users often lost their PMs to inactive or quota-exceeded users).

Updated files:

addon_pmail.php - removed spare $pmail_panel 's <br />; added pageNav parsing; previous/next links now will contain straight text; l_pmOutOfLimitFix msg fix ($inboxtotal removed); $check_pmquota code

addon_pmail_send.php - removed spare $pmail_panel 's <br />; $check_pmquota code

templates/addon_pmail_msgs.html - reworked styling, <!--pageNav--> tag
templates/addon_pmail_msgs_cell.html - reworked styling
templates/addon_pmail_panel.html - {$mbpnPan} added
templates/addon_pmail_sendmsg.html - reworked styling
templates/addon_pmail_sendtool.html - reworked styling
templates/addon_pmail_viewmsg.html - checkBrowser, getQuotation functions update, $subject moved to header

lang/pmail_eng.php - only English language fixes

bb_plugins.code updates (mostly Top Link code)

Hello,

Thanks for updating Pmail & File-Upload, but how can I set "post range" like before?
I don't want "postText" and "topicTitle" be empty.. becuase during post range user can write the text and make it ready until it finishes!

if( (isset($_POST['postText']) and ................................ $l_pmSentEmpty

I thought if I remove this line it would work but just afraid for security risk.. and just want to hear from you if it's ok or not!

Thanks

I'm not sure how this change is related to the updated add-ons?
Anyway... there is nothing insecure in the code you provided. I only have no idea what this code is for.
Actually I didn't understand completely what do you mean.

Today I've taken my time to fix lots of Compiler's stuff, and so now I can confirm Compiler is on the way to be compatible with miniBB 3. I have updated miniBB package as well, but it only contains few CSS/HTML fixes, and the index.php is updated to keep $forum=0 before $searchBox is loaded.

I have also went through the painful updating of Configurable Topic Form add-on, and now I can confirm it works well with miniBB 3.

Besides of the Configurable Topic Form add-on, with Compiler, I have also tested the Captcha add-on, Keyword-Rich URLs modes, File Attachments, Private Messages and Forums Checker. All add-ons went compiling smoothly, and the final output impresses me so far :) I'll continue to work on the other add-ons. Most possibly Unread messages indicator and Multiple Topics Action add-ons will be the next ones. If they will work, mostly all other stuff is easy to fix and align.

Today I've updated the following add-ons to make them fully compatible with miniBB 3.0:

- Signatures
- Mass-Topics action
- Moving Replies
- Merging Topics.

I can confirm now these plugins are compatible with miniBB 3.0 and are nicely built with Compiler.

Further to that, I've discovered we can hide "Start New Topic" link until the forum has at least 5 topics. In that case, the new topic form is straight visible on the page, and the link confuses, because then it appears like it can't be clicked. It is not turned on if the Configurable Topic add-on is not installed.

The new rule is about updated bb_func_vtopic.php file which contains a new piece of code for such cases. This package change doesn't affect the current forum owners.

Today I have updated the YouTube add-on.

Now it will have possibilities to paste the Embed code from the YouTube website directly (I'm about straight HTML code containing '<iframe...>'). It will provide possibility to paste the code with a proper video size immediately. Besides of it, it will be also possible to set the custom size in the BB code itself. That all should provide smooth resizing of YouTube video provided in a message post. Additionally to that, I've implemented a quick code which should not allow 'null' values in this BB-code, which may come after cancelling the prompt.

Study README file for more details.

The updated add-on also has a reworked BB-button in miniBB-style, and it's tested/compatible with Compiler.

Because of that, I have also a bit updated the miniBB core. bb_codes.php should contain '<iframe' value in $simpleCodes definition.

I think it's a good youtube update, thank you. One small concern is that a jokester could enter 20000x10000 video size and that would break the layout (assuming that would actually work). One way or the other, it's easy to find the Suspend link (unless forum owner allows posting links for guest users too ;)

Thanks :) I'll think about it.
