scripts: useful and otherwise

A bug with the Mint-based download tracking system I used made all downloads result in an error. I have just fixed this and downloads should be working as intended. Sorry for the inconvenience!

This is mainly a bugfix release. There was one improvement made. Now you can choose to not cache your headers/footers if you have page caching on. It will cache/save the rest of the page into a temporary file instead of having to make calls to the database and running the script. Cache files are automatically deleted after the amount of days you set or if you update.

phpFan - Keep-In-Mind got a minor update, fixing a stray bit of code that was not converted (it didn’t break anything).

The core phpFan can be downloaded and phpFan Addon - Keep-In-Mind can be downloaded.

It seems I uploaded the old install_antispam.php *facepalm*. That doesn’t take into account the antispamconfig.php file. Added the include to that file and it should be working.

The updated zip is available for download on the Install page.

The version number is not going to go up. This is for you Wordpress users out there. With file-based headers/footers now being possible you might want to integrate Wordpress through the header/footer files instead of the templates section. To make that possible I’ve slightly updated phpFan’s config.inc.php. It’s just one file change for those with the latest version (phpFan 3.3.2) so there’s a separate .zip file in Downloads.

Remember if you’re using page caching to go to ‘Maintenance’ and reset your cache!

In other news, the site has the content of the pages more organized. The FAQ and Wordpress Integration pages have been updated for phpFan and phpFan Addons, as has the Version Changes page for phpFan.

A bit of an update. In addition to the change yesterday of being able to add your own footer file now subtraction problems are never lower than zero. That should make it easier for younger fans.

The updated files are now available on the Installation page.

I’ve releasted an Enthusast anti-spam addon with Angela’s permission.

There are installation instructions and then instructions to implement into join.php (or a greater index.php or other file if using join.php as in include).

I recently learned that a script used in phpFan is not compatible with PHP4. This has been changed.

Download the PHP4 comptatible version in Downloads, either the upgrade or the full version.

A contact form has been added, as well as a bug report form.

I know, I know. I just released a new version yesterday. This is basically a bugfix release. Fixed version numbers, fixed a bit with permalinks in phpFan Addon - Listing, fixed some bugs with page caching if permalinks are off, etc.

The core phpFan can be downloaded and the Addons can be downloaded.

phpFan 3.3.1 is being released so soon after the last major release because I thought it was the time to allow separate file-based header/footers for all the Addons.  That way users don’t have to use only one header for all of them. Also, page caching has been added as an option for faster load times (will save your page to a file instead of having to makes calls to the database). Users can specify for how many days they want the files to be on the server.

There was also one bug fix for category/list names. Reset your categories in ‘Maintenance’ if you noticed some category names had a ‘-1′ after the name when there were no other categories named the same thing.

The core phpFan can be downloaded and the Addons can be downloaded.
