[Release] Legacy (phpBB 3.2.10)

[Big Monstro]

A new Legacy style is available, fully tested on the latest phpBB 3.2.5 (it should work with phpBB 3.2.4 too).

Legacy 1.2.5, for phpBB 3.2.5

Like its two predecessors, it can be considered as a maintenance version but the focus is different: as there is virtually no difference in prosilver between phpBB 3.2.4 and 3.2.5, the main purposes of Legacy 1.2.5 are bugfix and browser compatibility improvement. Depending on fixed bugs, the affected browsers were all or some of them, including the latest Chrome 72 or older MSIE. I didn't rush the release of Legacy 1.2.3 / 1.2.4 and these two versions didn't introduce new bugs to my knowledge but I found some issues from subsilver2 (the original base style) and earlier versions of my board style. Legacy 1.2.5 finally fixes them.

I write this message to report I am still alive .

I've now many other priorities, but the Legacy project is still active.

If you use phpBB 3.2.7, the latest version (for phpBB 3.2.5) should work perfectly.

If you use phpBB 3.2.6, update it, as that version is incompatible with older styles (cannot login).

I've finally updated my board style .

Latest changes

• phpBB 3.2.7 fully supported
• many further tweaks and bug fixes for Chrome and older Internet Explorer
• stylesheet.css was updated : if you use the subsilver or dark style, please update the alternative CSS file

Thank you soooooo much BigMonstro, my community really appreciates your effort to keep this project up to date and thus keep a style close to what existed in the past!

Merci merci merci.

Btw. Why can't I find your style on the regular customization database? Is it because it is not based on prosilver?
(And why is there another style called Legacy?

[Big Monstro]

Why can't I find your style on the regular customization database?

Because my style doesn't meet some requirements : no responsive, no jQuery and other JS libraries loaded and not based on the prosilver's layout (therefore a limited compatibility with extensions). Meet the criterions to validate my style isn't a priority. I've made Legacy for a specific website and I later decided to make it publicly available. It perfectly works for what it was designed for : a lightweight and retrocompatible interface.

(And why is there another style called Legacy?

That's a complety different project made by someone else. It was intended for phpBB 3.0 and the last version was released in 2013.

I've chosen the name of my board style well before the public availability ; its name refers to the expression "legacy systems".

Hello ,

Thanks Big Monstro , its possible in future to have any chat extansion for subsilver 2 ? or you know somelike ajaxchat/mchat extension or idk script ? becouse ajaxchat /mchat don't work ... and i work very hard to have a nice style but its sad becouse i don't have chat...

Thanks.

[Big Monstro]

Hello visan15.

Thanks Big Monstro , its possible in future to have any chat extansion for subsilver 2 ?

Please note that topic is not about subsilver2 (although it was used to create Legacy). There are a lot of differences between the two styles.

To adress your problem, you can try an older version : I've managed to make mChat 2.0.0-RC3 functional with subsilver2 in a couple of minutes... Some other modifications will be needed to get all the features but I can chat after I've barely edited the extension... That version is the first one to be fully compatible with phpBB 3.2 and the author has already dropped subsilver2 at the time.

[Visan15]

Oh .. ok , thanks anyway .

I want to ask you something else, is it possible to put a sidebar on this version? if yes, can you help me?

EDIT : What extansions work for this version or how can i do to work extansions ?
Thanks.

I've updated my board style, for the latest phpBB 3.2.x.

Legacy 1.2.9, for phpBB 3.2.9

As the development team has decided to reduce the phpBB 3.2.x maintenance immediately after the release of phpBB 3.3,
there could be no further change to prosilver for phpBB 3.2.x. Legacy 1.2.9 is perhaps the latest version for phpBB 3.2,
unless a significant flaw is found. The future releases will be intended for phpBB 3.3 instead.

[Big Monstro]

I eventually updated the Legacy style for phpBB 3.2 boards.

The updated style adresses some issues fixed by the phpBB team for prosilver ; older versions of my style are affected by these issues too:

• Attachment tab should be removed when there are no filters
• Discrepancy and bugs between moderation queue and reports
• Firefox confuses username and e-mail when storing passwords
• No error message when there is no displayed post in the MCP
• Permissions don't appear for logged users who cannot post topics

Apart from these bugfixes, there is no change over the previous version. That new Legacy was tested on both phpBB 3.2.9 and phpBB 3.2.10.
