After nearly 9 months since the release or phpLD version 3.2, we are pleased to announce the release of version 3.3. Many users have now tested the beta, as well as upgraded from 3.2, and we feel that we have reached a very stable version, and hope that you will find this latest release the best ever!

Here are some important links and info for those wishing to get started with 3.3:
1. Screenshots and Preview - here you can read about and view some of the new features of 3.3
2. Template Changes - if you are a template maker or have a template that needs upgrading, here is a guide to the changes needed in the smarty code for your template files.
3. How to Upgrade - if you are running an earlier version and wish to upgrade, we have provided some detailed instructions for how to do it, though we also recommend getting professional help when possible. If you don't have access to the supporters forum, these instructions are also in a readme file called upgrade.txt in the release files.
4. Download it! - You just need to login to the phpLD user area and download the files to get started. Login on the left side of the homepage of this site, and then click on My Downloads.

Thanks to everyone for your support and patience. We are hopeful that we have placed even more important tools in your hands that will lead you to having a successful site that you enjoy running. We will be immediately starting into the next version of phpLD, and promise to get the next one faster (though surely a few months still).

And yes, we are working on a vBulletin plugin!

Best Wishes,
David

Here is a little something I'm exciting about, bridging vBulletin and phpLD.

Mod Title: Forum Integration mod

Last Updated: Feb 12, 2008

Supported by Mod Developer: Yes

Where to Download: Supporters Forum

Support Via This Thread or Download Site: Supporters Forum

Price: Just need to join the supporters forum

Compatible With: 3.3





Settings: We will have admin settings to determine certain user rights. Rights will be granted for each of the following phpLD actions:

- Add Link
- Add Article
- Add Article Comments
- Vote for Article Ratings

Rights should be able to be configured by the following:

- Allow action if post count is greater than x (ex. if you user has 100 posts, they may add articles)
- Allow action if vBulletin Admin (y/n)
- Allow action if vBulletin Moderator (y/n)

In addition, the admin should be able to manually add rights for the actions by specifying a username.

- Enter username
- Grant or remove rights for the user
- When manually changing user rights, it will always override automated

User Profile Pages: These will be displayed in phpLD. We already have these pages but we want to add more info:

- My Links - list links with links to link detail page
- My Articles - list articles with links to articles
- My Comments - list articles where they commented and link to the article

Admin Statistics Page:
So the admin can easily see recent user activity, it will be good to have a page that shows

- Latest Links Added
- Latest Articles Added
- Latest Comments Added
- Recent Votes

For each, show a link and the username (link to profile) that performed the action

To download this mod, you must be a member of the supporters forum. You can download it in this thread.

Ok, and now version 2.3 of the mod is released, and there is now a way to search usergroups (using ajax) and then assign permissions based on usergroups. Thanks for the suggestions. It is getting better and better.
