Hi all,
as you may notice this site has been upgraded, to the latest release of Icy Phoenix.

As you may notice, a big part of the code has been rewritten, especially the template system has been renewed and optimized.

The job isn't finished yet, but I can say that most of the things I wanted to change have been changed.

I just need to rewrite a couple of "big things" (errors handling and forums options), then we can start with the debugging phase (fixing bugs and writing docs) and finally we can release the new version (not before March 2009).

As usual, if you notice errors while surfing this site, please contact me.

Ciao!

Nice!!  
Although I prefer themes with avatar on left in viewtopic, but this is nice change.
It looks to me like a big step for IP. Good work!!

Just one question, this new version, will it be compatible with older mods?

Mods and themes for Icy Phoenix 1.3

IcyPhoenix UK is off-line permanently due to lack of time to update mods.
if anyone is interested in my templates I will upgrade them to Icy 2.0.

That is the price to pay for progress...

But consider also the pros in this... you have the opportunity to learn something new and improve things.

Also with the new version you may be able also to adapt some phpBB 3 mods with small changes to the core code.

Congratulations for such a big work!!!!

New template looks really original! I like it.

But... If I can't use medal mod the users in my forum will kill me, I'm sure!!!!

Will it be hard to convert old mods into the new version?

PS: If such a great changes are made, why not IP2, instead of IP 1.2?

Congratulations again!!

I won't be hard in the sense that you do not need to be a professional PHP coder... but it is required a basic knowledge of PHP, HTML, CSS and Icy Phoenix.

Most of the changes applied to Icy Phoenix are due to phpBB 3 porting: Icy Phoenix is now more phpBB 3 than phpBB 2.

For example, language system works the same, template system even if a bit different from phpBB 3 is even more powerful under certain circumstances, sessions are almost the same, posts and privmsgs text are now integrated into posts and privmsgs tables (just like phpBB 3), paths are defined as constants like the next phpBB 3.2. What is still different is forum structure and permissions system, and the lack of classes for everything (even if some of them have been created for Icy Phoenix as well). In a nutshell Icy Phoenix is trying to take all the new positives things which are in phpBB 3 even if a complete porting won't be done.

What does it mean? It means that the core code is looking more similar to phpBB 3 than phpBB 2, and standard phpBB 2 and phpBB 3 mods won't work in Icy Phoenix, but with few edits they may be adapted. I'll provide docs and examples when the final version will be out.

The final versioning number will depend on some extra changes I still have to do. Of course if I'll be able to apply all changes in my "To Do List", then we will have Icy Phoenix 2.0.
