    vBulletin 3.0.1 Released

    vBulletin 3.0.1

    This release is essentially just a bug fix release. We have not found any critical bugs that have warranted an emergency release; these are simply routine bug fixes.

    Backing Up Your Forums
    Please be sure to check your backups, that they are complete before continuing with an upgrade. We had reports that PHP was causing time out errors when creating the back up SQL, and this was causing for incomplete or corrupted backups. The safest way to do a backup is to use the mysqldump utility through telnet, as it will not suffer from any such problems. Full instructions for backing up your database are available in the vBulletin 3 Manual.

    Installing or Upgrading vBulletin
    Please see the appropriate manual sections: Installing vBulletin and Upgrading vBulletin.

    3.0.1 Template Changes

    calendar_edit_recurrence

    Changed two phrases. See this Bug Report

    Requires Revert? Only if your translation needs different phrases for first as detailed in this Bug Report.


    newthread & newreply

    Added the $show['member'] conditional around the subscription html so that unregistered posters don't get the option to subscribe to the thread.

    Requires revert? Yes if you allow unregistered posting.


    showthread

    Add a missing / to two <img src>, look for $vbphrase[closed_thread] to see where it occurs.

    Requires revert? No, not really unless you want standards compliance


    search_forums

    Replaced "Forum" with "$vbphrase[forum]" in the order by select menu.

    Requires Revert? Only if you use a translation.


    modifyavatar

    Changed session URL reference to use JS style version. (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs...view&bugid=2607)

    Requires revert? Yes, but the amount of people affected by this will be very small.


    SUBSCRIBE

    Added nowrap tags to the last post column.

    Requires revert? No.


    FORUMHOME

    Added width="100%" to the second column of each non-header row of the "What's Going On?" table to prevent minor display error when who's online is disabled.

    Requires revert? No.


    editor_toolbar_standard

    $vbphrase[insert_email] -> $vbphrase[insert_email_link]

    Requires revert? Not really. It's a very minor problem.


    navbar

    Added conditional around "New Posts" in Quick Links so that it isn't displayed if searching is disabled.

    Requires Revert? No.


    whosonlinebit

    Changed:
    HTML Code:
    <if condition="$show['spider']">$userinfo[spider] $vbphrase[spider]<else />$userinfo[musername]</if>
    to
    HTML Code:
    <if condition="$show['spider']"><phrase 1="$userinfo[spider]">$vbphrase[x_spider]</phrase><else />$userinfo[musername]</if>
    Requires Revert? Yes.


    STANDARD_ERROR

    Added a conditional that hides forum jump when the "Forum is Closed" message is displayed.

    Requires Revert? No.


    SHOWTHREAD
    printthread
    navbar

    Added accesskeys for disabled-visitor assistance.

    1 : forum home (index.php)
    2 : get new posts (search.php?do=getdaily / search.php?do=getnew)
    3 : show printable version of current thread (printthread.php?t=<threadid>)
    4 : search (search.php)
    5 : FAQ

    Requires revert? NO


    footer

    Made a boo-boo with the Active-Cells initialization call.

    Changed
    Code:
    	// Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
    	vBulletin_init();
     
    	// Initialize 'Active' Table Cells
    	//[color=red]vBulletin_init[/color]();
    to
    Code:
    	// Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
    	vBulletin_init();
     
    	// Initialize 'Active' Table Cells
    	//[b][color=seagreen]activecells_init[/color][/b]();
    Requires revert? No (most people don't use the Active Cells feature anyway)


    Forumdisplay

    Added conditionals so that if a forum is set as a category, the legend from forumhome is displayed instead of the folder icons and the posting rules. The forumjump hanging off to the right and to the bottom doesn't look right though.

    Requires revert? No


    SHOWTHREAD

    Added an <else /> part to 2 conditionals (related to showing the big reply buttons) to ensure the XHTML validates.

    Requires revert? No.


    FORUMHOME
    navbar
    username_loggedin


    Added &amp;u=$bbuserinfo[userid] to any log out links to ensure that no one else can log many people out with an image.

    Requires revert? Yes!


    Showthread

    Added conditionals to NON DHTML mode to turn off threaded options, thread search, and thread rating if those options are not enabled.

    Requires revert: Yes


    calendar_reminder_eventbit

    Find:
    HTML Code:
    $date1<br /><span class="time">$time1</span><br /><span class="time">$time2</span>
    replace with:
    HTML Code:
    $eventdate
    Requires revert? Yes


    subscribe_choosetype

    Changed two <br> to <br />

    Requires revert? No


    editor_toolbar_wysiwyg

    Changed 'cmd_wrap1_email' to 'cmd_createmail' to use the custom email-link inserter.

    Requires revert? No, nothing will break. However, you won't be using the new code.


    editor_clientscript

    New reference to 'enter_option_x_tag' phrase.

    Requires revert? Yes.


    postbit and postbit_legacy

    Changed the user profile link in the popup menu to not open a new window.

    Also added a conditional to show Reply/Quote button depending upon context.

    Requires Revert? Only if you desire this behaviour.


    im_send_msn

    Updated so links that call MSN-functions should work for more people.

    Requires revert? Yes.

      Hourly Slowdown?

      If you are seeing an hourly slowdown on your server, try this cleanup2.php. It goes into your forums/includes/cron directory. You would only be affected by this if you had a large number of attachments. Having them in the database or filesystem doesn't matter.

      This file is also useable with v3.0.0
