Another big change for SMF 2.0 Beta 2

Thantos · January 13, 2008, 05:21:05 PM

Earlier today the devs got together online and had us a nice hour long chat. One of the things we discussed was the $smfFunc variable. In SMF 1.1 we have the $func variable. However, the name could easily conflict with other software so we decided to change the name to $smfFunc which it was from the Alpha version through to Beta 1.

Without giving away our plans for world domination, it was decided that the name didn't fit with out long term plans as it ties it to the forum. So we changed the name to $smcFunc. Now what does SMC stand for? I guess you'll just have to wait and find out later

It was decided that if we were going to change the name that now really is a good time to do it as we've already made one change that touches each query and it would be easier on our mod authors if we made all such sweeping changes at once and then let things settle down.

For change itself is easy to make as you can just do a find/replace for it so we hope that it won't be too much work.

you just told them about our plans for world domination ... spose we now need to look at something bigger.

but anyway I know what smc stands for ...

They only know the goal, they don't know the plan

Deaks · January 13, 2008, 05:33:58 PM

but if they kbow the goal then they now get there before us ... we will now need to change it to the cosmos

To me SMC stands for "sweet merciful crap" which is a phrase said by Homer Simpson, which was later used by a user on The No Homer's Club a forum I frequently visit for his username.

Is that it?

Simple Machines Community?
You're planning to make a CMS out of the board system, I'm guessing?
Not that it would be a bad idea, of course...

I just noticed that the member colour ledgend has been added as a default feature of 2.0? or maybe the mod was just installed?

Gary · January 16, 2008, 12:47:10 PM

Default feature since 2.0 Beta 1.

Nao 尚 · January 16, 2008, 04:09:36 PM

Not seeing a color legend on my website. How does one activate it?

Aaron · January 16, 2008, 04:12:22 PM

Admin -> Configuration -> Current Theme -> Check "Show group key on board index"

Nao 尚 · January 16, 2008, 06:35:46 PM
