FIND v1.2.0
Saturday, March 24, 2007

What is new in FIND v1.2.0?

1. Restructured file layout to remove /mod directory and fix compatibility issues
with some mods that assume relative file location from root directory.

2. Fixed multiple post issue caused by html entity conversion in the MySQL
database.

3. Fixed a Windows-1252 character set parsing issue as this encoding is not
handeled bu the PHP XML parser.

4. Added forced character set decoding option for incoming RSS feeds when the
encoding in the XML header does not match the contents of the file.

5. Added additional URL parsing to remove base URL from complex URL used on
Google and Yahoo. This should fix some additional, but not all URL display
issues.

6. Added additional formatting options to allow for more optional data fields to
be include/excluded.

7. Added the ability to strip all content images from a post.

8. Added ability to strip brackets and containing content from the topic line
of a post.

9. Added ability to add a prefix to the topic of a post.

10. Added expandable "bird beaks" to table entries in the admin page to reduce
the number of columns visible in the table. Details can now be viewed by
expanding the individual line items.


What is new in FIND v1.1?

1. CURL support for downloading RSS feeds.

2. Stripping of HTML and bbcode from the topic line to stop formatting errors
later in the page.

3. Conversion of UTF-8 characters in RSS feed content to ISO-8859-1 which is
the phpBB2 default character encoding. This will fix issue with garbled
characters in RSS output (see http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=308
for more information).

4. Replacing HTML with equivalent bbcode in the body of the post and parsing of
google/yahoo specific URL encodings. This is basic parsing support, but hooks
are in place to provide more advanced features as I have time. Please send me
the source files of rss feeds that break this feature.

5. New HTML formatting option for message output (I like using tables inside
the post for additional formatting). No bbcode is used when using this
feature.

6. Expanded XML tag support for RSS/RDF/ATOM feeds. Added more fields (pubDate,
creator/author, content) and iTunes podcast support. I still need to add atom
support.

7. Remote invoke of news_insert.php using an authorization key. This permits
a cron job on a remote server to invoke the insert operation (my hosting
service does not give me access to cron).

8. Cleaned up the administration screens, including adding configuration
options for new features. Added retrieval of status information from
thecomichaven.com to notify of new versions and bug fixes.

There are a few more changes, but that covers the big ones.

Yes i knoe

But it's a beta, when the mod-db of phpbb comes back and aproves it, i'll test it.
The versio i use here it's a the latest version on the mod-db

yes but your version is too old (2003)
and have a lot of bugs, or problems with special characters and pages and rss not utf 8
letters like ñ, accents etc.... are lost
and in spanish or other non english pages this is a big problem...

but it is only an idea
thanks for your great work

Yes i know that
Anyway, it's still a beta ;)

I am running FIND version 1.2.0 o my phpbbfm site and it is working great!

Could you update the mod to work with IP?

Many Thanks :)

i'll play with it since mod-db pg phpbb2 it's in the past

give me the link please
