[Brian]

vBadvanced is proud to announce the release of vBadvanced Dynamics v1.0.0 ("Gold"). We are confident that the number of remaining bugs should be minimal enough to warrant the "Gold" release and that the product is very stable now. Current license holders can find the new version in the Members' Area here.
For those who are not familiar with vBa Dynamics, please see the product info page for more details.


New Features & Options

• AJAX Favorites & Subscriptions - Adding an entry to your favorites or subscribing to an entry or category is now handled with AJAX. Instead of reloading the page after clicking one of these links, the request is sent via javascript and then a message popped up confirming that the action was successful.
  
• The "Stats" section from the homepage has been converted into a module instead so it can be used on any page. Because of this, the "Show Stats" setting has been removed from the Admin CP and the module enabled by default instead.
  
• New "Recent Comments" module added showing the most recent comments made.
  
• Support for the [attach] tag within entries has been added.
  
• New options to allow you to change the date format in the date select boxes on the Submit Entry page (Entry Date and Automatically Publish On sections) between m-d-y and d-m-y format, as well as an option to change the time between 12 and 24 hour formats.
  
• User ranks are now shown with replies to entries.
  
• When first installing, there is now a quick configuration section allowing you to choose between some of the more popular uses (blog, articles, and file sharing) which will help to pre-configure the most important settings for use with that type of application.
  
• Ability for members to change the title and description for their sub-category in a category marked as a "Members' Category".
  
• Additional AJAX functions added to the "Submit Entry" page to allow for the smile box and [img] button to be hidden/revealed when changing between categories that allow for these.
  
• When editing module layouts on the user side, there is now a checkbox allowing members to reset their layout for that page to the default that is set in the Admin CP.
  
• New Admin CP options to allow an admin to reset the layout for all users.
  
• New option to allow for new entries to add to users post counts.
  
• Checkboxes have been added in the Quick Reply box and regular "New Reply" page that will allow a member to subscribe to an entry / add it to their favorites when replying.

• Option to allow sub-categories to also be included when subscribing to a category via RSS.
  
• Option added to allow for signatures to be displayed in entries.

• New maintenance tool to rebuild attachment thumbnails.
  
• New plugin added to the 'global_start' hook location to handle header replacements.
  
• The "Submit Entry" page has been added to the list of pages in the "Edit Module Layouts" link, allowing you to enable modules on this page.
  
• The vba_dyna_ajax_entryrate.js file has been renamed to vba_dyna_ajax_global.js since this file now contains all of the javascript dealing with ratings, subscriptions, and favorites.
  
• xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" tag added to all appropriate templates to comply with new XHTML standards.
  
• New Spider Friendly URL options to allow you to use a custom phrase in the URL for entries and categories instead of the category's and entry's title (mostly useful for those with non-Latin languages).
  
• SEO URL's for each category is now stored in the category cache to avoid having to process those for each category on the user side and conserve server resources.
  
• New hooks added in the includes/vba_dyna_functions_saveentry.php file.
  vba_dyna_functions_saveentry_errors
  vba_dyna_functions_saveentry_cfieldbits_start
  vba_dyna_functions_saveentry_cfieldbits_loop
  vba_dyna_functions_saveentry_cfields_sql_loop

Very cool.

(And I recognize at least one feature I recommend made the list! )

[Chance4Today]

hummm another nice production!

I am wondering since I just got the cmps done on a site for my daughter with X-Mas and the announcement that the beta for 3.7 is going to be released will this work with the custom profile on that? I believe that they are going to release it Monday UK time which shouldn't be too long from now of course I don't know too much.

[Brian]

At this point we have no idea if our products will fully work with 3.7. We have to wait until it's released before we can test things out.

[neverstop]

Congrats Brian... I've been racking my brain trying to think of a new project so I can use dynamics. Your products really are are top shelf.

Hopefully making your products work with 3.7 wont be too much of a hassle for you.

Cheers,
Ian

I am sure that everebody can see all the hard work invested in this very nice product.
And the best is that the code standard is at the same level as core vbulletin code, i.e. it is fast and secure.

[gnubittol]

Brian you ROCK!

thank you!

[ManagerJosh]

3.7 is out. Going to field test it

[chellakuttie]

Hello,

I got vBadvanced Dynamics v1.0 RC2, If I upgrade to GOLD, will I still have my old articles?

Thank you,
Vinoth.

[Brian]

Upgrading will not remove any of your articles or anything like that, so yes, they will still be there.

[Rebecca]

Very nice, Brian! Thank you!

Rebecca

[actonetwork]

vBadvanced Dynamics is a different product than the CMPS, so the first step would be to purchase a license. Please see this page for more info on the product.

[steven72555]

I have Dynamics RC2 installed .
How would I just update this to gold?

[Brian]

There are full instructions for upgrading located in the readme.html file that comes with the download package.
