    vBulletin 2.0 BETA 3 Released

    Hello,

    vBulletin 2.0.0 BETA 3

    The third BETA version of vBulletin 2.0.0 is now available for download from the memebers area. As well as a raft of new features and bug fixes, the development team has also found and fixed a couple of security issues. We recommend that all customers who are currenting running a previous beta of version 2.0.0 upgrade as soon as possible to this release.

    New Installation Instructions

    For fresh installations, you must run the install1.php file in the admin directory. Before you do this, take the config.php.new file, edit it to contain your details, then upload it as config.php to the server.

    Then you can run through the install1.php script in much the same way as old install scripts.

    Upgrade instructions:

    >From 1.1.x:

    Upload all the files, then run the upgrade1.php scrint in the admin area. When you are done, be sure to delete install1.php, upgrade1.php, upgrade2.php and upgrade3.php.

    >From beta 1:

    Upload all the files, then run the upgrade2.php script in the admin area. Then run upgrade3.php. When you are done, be sure to delete install1.php, upgrade1.php, upgrade2.php, and upgrade3.php.

    >From beta 2:

    Upload all the files, then run the upgrade3.php script in the admin area. When you are done, be sure to delete install1.php, upgrade1.php upgrade2.php, and upgrade3.php.

    New Templates

    ~ email_activateaccount_change - email sent when a user has to reverify his/her email
    - emailsubject_activateaccount_change - subject of the above email
    - error_activate_moderation - Inform user that they have been activated but are in the moderation queue
    - redirect_updatethanks_newemail - redirection template for use when a user changes his email and is being sent a new verification

    Changed Templates

    Note: Upgrading will not overwrite any of your custom templates. The following templates have changed since beta 2:

    - calendar_enterevent - replaced hard-coded color codes with proper replacement variables
    - email_activateaccount - remove wording that an account will be deleted in 1 week w/o activation
    - error_activate_wrongusergroup - Add wording that user is already activated
    - error_forumclosed - changed wording (it wasn't used anywhere before anyway)
    - polloption - add missing colspan so netscape shows properly
    - redirect_login - changed $bbuserinfo[username] to $username
    - searchintro - Added missing </td>
    - username_loggedout - changes loginpassword to password and loginusername to username

    You can view the new templates from in the control panel by clicking on the 'view original' next to your custom template.
