I’m delighted to announce the release of WP-United v0.5.5 for phpBB3.

In the first week since WP-United for phpBB3 was released, I received a fair amount of feedback, and a few bug reports. v0.5.5 is designed to address them.

The major changes are as follows: (More…)

As the readme file introducing the WP-United template tags is missing from the phpBB3 download, as as I’ve been meaning to do a proper write-up for months now, I’ve put together a page, All About Template Tags.

For most users, the provided widgets should be sufficient. However, if customisation is your “thing”, then this page is for you!

As is always the case with a first Beta release there were a few errors that got spotted immediately. If you installed v0.5.0, you can simply update by just copying over all the new files to their correct locations. You don’t need to run the install script or make any other edits.

There are only a few changes:

• Fixed: Some login & register links didn’t point to the right place when logins were itnegrated. This is now fixed (but redirection back to the page you were on will come later).
• Fixed: function.php warnings appeared at the top of the page for some templates.
• Fixed: Incorrect path to /includes/acp in the install MOD file.

Thanks to eeryone who helped spot and report the errors!

You can get the latest version by heading to the Download Page.

At last — the first public release of WP-United for phpBB3!

(And yes, as promised, it hit the streets before phpBB3 went final!)

While users migrating from the phpBB2 version will find mostly the same features, several enhancements have been made — particularly to the install & uninstall process. There are also numerous bugfixes, and several features, such as CSS ordering and DTD switching have been enhanced.

Over the coming days the forum will be expanded to accommodate phpBB3 requests & information.

There’s not much more to say, other than: Head on over to the Download Page!

Happy blogging!

Only a couple of more evenings of work are needed (touch wood!) on WP-United for phpBB3.

We’re getting pretty close, and it’s looking pretty good

For the initial release, I have tried to maintain feature parity with the phpBB2 version as far as possible. However, there will be a few differences — some by necessity, and a few improvements thrown in along the way. Here are the main ones: (More…)

The second WP-United site for phpBB3 is finally up. Can you guess which one it is? (Hint: You’re on it!).

While I uncovered a number of minor bugs during the upgrade that I will need to fix, none of them are show-stoppers, which means that I should be able to package and release WP-United for phpBB3 soon.

This site is a bit more ‘integrated’ than the last example: Users are integrated, and we use several template tags. So far so good (although I need to clean up the template and fix a few fonts here and there).

There are a few things outstanding: A bit more work on the installer, admin panel, and widgets, a bit of cleaning up to do, plus a bit of CSS for default template integrations. Nothing too major left I hope.

So stay tuned….
