From the changes log, if you don't have some weird mods or whatever, i think it will work, as most if not all things there are back end changes and invisible to most users...
Here is a link to the template changes required to go from 3.0.6 to 3.1.0 http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8032 As for naysayers who say this release is not good, I won't waste my time with comments that are not backed by substance. Time will be better spent following substantive posts in the supporters forum and developing the next version. The changlog in the first post is not correct: Changes: - [ADD] Snoopy class that simulates a browser (used to retrieve page content on reciprocal validation) - [ADD] InputFilter class for XSS protection - [UPGRADE] SmartyValidate library upgraded to latest stable version (2.8) - [UPGRADE] AdoDB database library upgraded to latest stable version (4.93a) - [REMOVED] Reciprocal ID feature completely removed! - [FIX] Important Security Related Fix - [FIX] Installer won't stop at first step if session variables are not available, instead it will show on second page a fatal error. - [FIX] Improved image verification library, auto fallback to GD or simple captcha if TTF/GD fonts not available, it's faster and more secure, verification phrase is now stored in DB rather than session variable. Validation is checked against additional unique image hash. - [FIX] Sitemap generator supports now unlimited URLs. URLs are gathered from category cache or if not available they are generated automatically. Also, paging URLs are added to sitemaps and GZIP compression used if sitemap larger than 10MB. (VERY IMPORTANT TO RECREATE CACHE and save time). - [FIX] Improved category (+content) removal. All Javascript handling removed. - [FIX] Template preview in admin panel won't show errors anymore (break page) if libraries (libpng, libjpeg or giflib) are missing to create thumbnails. An message is shown instead, telling the admin that thumbnails are not available. - [FIX] Improved reciprocal link validation with partial admin configuration options. Function can now decode gzip/zlib compressed pages, determine correct header code, check for "nofollow" in meta tags and as tag attribute. - [FIX] Administrator pages won't show PHP errors on some server configurations when no results are found. - [FIX] Improved email sending and email sending + adding link in admin panel. After successfull sending, form data is cleared. - [FIX] Page compression auto disabled if W3C_Validator is requesting page content (expandable to more poor user agents). - [FIX] Improved version checking in admin panel. - [FIX] Duplicate link submition fixed. - [FIX] On installation pages, when [ENTER] key is pressed it goes to next step and not one back. - [CHANGE] Full admin panel redesign + improved/fixed many features. New full and valid markup (xHTML) with full CSS design. Most JS functions dropped for increased accessibility and usabability. - [CHANGE] Full installer redesign. Valid markup (xHTML) and CSS. - [CHANGE] Paging and sorting in admin panel won't jump back to first page (smarter sorting), sorting options aren't stored anymore in session variables, works also on emails sent view with filtering. - [CHANGE] More phrases from admin panel are marked for possible translation. - [ADD] Pagerank (with sorting option) on approve links page. - [ADD] On multiple action buttons, added IP/Domain banning and category changing for links, parent category changing for categories. - [ADD] New page in admin panel "Database" with two new options, you can now add DB fields with a few clicks, check table status infos and run operations like optimize,repair,flush. Db backup and Db queries where moved from maintenance page to this one. - [ADD] htaccess rule to prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being viewed by web clients. - [ADD] Email banning, users cannot create useraccounts or submit links using banned email addresses. You may ban individual addresses like "example@domain.com" or partially with "@domain.com" - [ADD] Additional checks for a better spam protection, option to allow empty user-agents and foreign submitions.(Adviseable to disallow them). - [ADD] Aggressive spam protection based on unique submition sessions. Only strict rules followed correctly allow links to be saved into db. Files changed: - [ADD] include/function_imgverif.php - [ADD] admin/email_admin.php - [ADD] admin/conf_options.php - [ADD] templates/Core/admin/email_sent_errors.tpl - [ADD] libs/smarty/plugins/modifier.nicesize.php - [ADD] libs/smarty/plugins/modifier.urlwrap.php - [ADD] include/io_filter.php - [ADD] include/functions_validate.php - [ADD] include/check_post_rules.php - [ADD] include/submit_session.php - [ADD] libs/snoopy/ - [ADD] libs/inputfilter/ - [CHANGE] templates/Core/* (everything) - [CHANGE] include/functions.php - [CHANGE] libs/captcha/captcha.class.php - [CHANGE] libs/adodb/* - [CHANGE] libs/smarty/* - [CHANGE] init.php - [CHANGE] captcha.php - [CHANGE] admin/* (everything) - [CHANGE] submit.php - [CHANGE] profile.php - [CHANGE] templates/Default/submit.tpl (textarea with recpr example, captcha image, email banning) - [CHANGE] templates/Default/profile.tpl (captcha image, email banning) Now read over all these items carefully before you say we have not improved phpLD!
Yes, the admincp loads much faster now...anyway PHPLD is great script and it's cheap aswell Keep up the good work David! Saad
Thanks, you guys. We are off to a good start so far with the release, and have received very few complaints so far. The worst really was the admin is not pretty enough. I can live with that. We are going to moving forward, and have already started making plans for the next release (which will be a miminum of 3 months away)
