Haven't searched if my suggestions/improvements have been posted before by others. I'm setting up a v7 now for checking the Dutch language and anything that I think is worth mentioning I wil post here.


Admin Panel, Admin home is actually Content Admin so rename this link.
Now add 3 more links, User Admin, System Admin and Infusions.
Now you can directly switch tabs! Far more easy!
Leave the drop down boxes as they are, this is a great addition to.

?When infusions are added, will there automatically a dropdown box be generated?
-----------

System Admin, Main Settings, Miscellaneous, Allow users to change theme? Yes No
<-- Is this the same as -->
User Admin, User Fields, Theme Allows users to choose their theme Options Enable
Why?
-----------

System Admin, Main Settings, Miscellaneous, Use TinyMCE HTML editor? Yes No
For article and news admin only. Yes No
Include a link where to download other languages and a brief instrucion where to upload these files.

Here it is; For additional languages go to; http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/language...nguage.php and upload it to your website http://myweb.com/includes/jscripts/tiny_mce/langs/

Content Admin, Forums, --> When adding a forum no Forum Privileges are shown. Only afterwards when editing a forum.
When editing a forum it would be nice a previously manual defined set of Forum Privileges is made standard instead of the standard members. (Do I still make sense ;))

This is what I prefer as 'standard'

As number1 SuperAdministrator I cannot edit profiles from fellow SuperAdministrators.

I feel as the number 1 SA and owner of my site, I should have this option!


When setting up a new website and enter long passwords this makes the website inaccessible. :(
I had to modify passwords in phpmyadin to prevent reinstalling. :(

Updated first post aswell

I installed a new website with PHPFusion. Lazy as I am I thought I don't open the installation instructions because there is a write permission check in the setup routine.

I was very surprised to see that all checks, exept config.php were OK.

I suspect this is a bug, because none of the dirs and files were chmodded to 777.

Upgrade some live forums to v7. All went OK, but there are some issues.

- Don't forget to change your theme in your profile to default before upgrading. Otherwise it is possible (depends on v6 theme) you can't access your upgraded site due to incompatibility issues. Quickfix --> upload a v7 theme in your v6 theme directory.

- Forum Ranks table is empty! :( (only after upgrade not with fresh install!) Quickfix --> import table fusion_forum_ranks from a fresh install or use attachment. Note attachment isn't enabled any more so copy paste from below.

Tip if you manage multiple fusion sites.

[olist=1]Add/remove and order bbcodes as you like it.
Export table bbcodes in administration.
Import table bbcodes in your other Fusion sites.
[/olist]
Now all sites have same setup for bbcodes.

Yes, but I don't know why. I tested it and selecting Yes in System Admin, Main Settings, Miscellaneous had no effect in edit profile. Enabling the user field did, so I'm probably missing something!!

The admin settings, does nothing, when the user field isn't enabled.
But if you enable it, then you can choose wether the members can switch themes or it's only for admins. ;)
It's pretty nice, if you are going to test a new theme for your site. :)

That’s correct and it can't be, not with the current set-up we have and here is why.

User Passwords and Admin Passwords, as you all know, are double MD5 encrypted. Meaning the php MD5 function has encrypted the password two times for extra security. MD5 is an unbreakable hashing function, meaning there is absolutely no way to recover the password when it is hashed, and even harder when this process has been done two times.

So, the problem is, if you encrypt the SMPT password there is no way for the script to connect using the encrypted password as you can't decrypt it.

See the problem by encrypting it?
