Digests 2.2.18 Released

Postby MarkDHamill » Sat Sep 10, 2011 5:44 pm

After extensive field testing by a high volume user, a number of bugs were corrected from version 2.2.17 and I feel this version is ready for general release. I will submit it for phpBB Mod Team approval, although this can take weeks or months to address issues they find. It seems their eagle eyes always find something.

Features:

  • Forums with a forum password no longer appear in the digest User Control Panel user interface because it is unknown in advance whether the user can access the forum. This is not a perfect solution because it is still possible to retrieve posts from these forums in a digest if the user has read permissions. Right now the complexity of storing these passwords for checking with the forum password is too complicated to implement. Odd that this was never noticed before.
  • Upon registration a user can opt to receive a digest with the board's digest defaults. This is possible only if the privilege is set in the ACP and automatic registration is not enabled. User must become active before digests are received.
  • Since emptying the mail queue was somewhat problematic, if you notice this problem you can force each digest to be mailed rather than batch them together. This setting was added to the ACP. This makes processing digests quite a bit longer but is more deterministic.
  • Fixed bug where some digests were not being sent out because mail_digests.php stopped checking to make sure there were posts to send.
  • Connection in mail_digests.php now logs out correctly.
  • Installation program now adds configuration variable digests_user_digest_no_post_text.
  • Please note that if you are using subsilver2, there is a new template file change. See those instructions.

The instruction in 2.2.17 state that I need to manually make changes as described in the DIY instructions. Where do I find the these DIY instructions?
