Subrion 1.0.00RC has been released!

[Vasily B.]

Greetings,
I'm happy to announce a release of Subrion 1.0.00 RC version. We have been working on this version for the last month and we did quite many changes. Of course the first goal was to fix most known bugs but we also moved according to our TODO list and prepared some interesting features for you. So, here is the brief description of what we did in the RC version

1. Payments Added
Now you can have payment balance for your accounts. They add some funds and later they can spend them for anything they wish. No matter if that's a paid membership, paid listing or article. It all depends on your fantasy. Currently we have three payment gateways for this: Alertpay, PayPal and 2checkout. Some of them even have recurring system integrated. Of course, accounts can see all the transactions in their history.

2. More flexible custom fields section
Now you can manage fields for your accounts, etc. This functionality did not work properly in our previous version and we did quite many changes to fix it

3. Improved Security features

4. Flexible Hook system

Most changes are related to our core system and functionality. We re-factored many classes and their methods to make the script faster, more stable and secure.

Also we paid a great attention to all known bugs and tried to fix them. I hope you will like the new colors of our admin panel. We also fixed some elements there to make it neater

Plugins and packages will be release next week. We will try to make this asap and I'm really sorry for the delay with the core release. Good luck and contact us if you need any help. We are always ready to help!

Can't wait to see all of this in action next week. My site is really getting alot of feedback so when the new groups will make it easier for the professors to organize their students papers.

Bug: Installation instruction url in readme file doesn't work:

http://www.subrion.com/docs/installation.html

404 - Page Not Found

Please make sure this page exists on our site or correct your URL.

I have tested new version on our test server and here is some first notes:

1. Admin panel style is really cool. You should think to change main style too, maybe just like the admin panel.

2. I can't find upgrade script and any instruction on upgrade. Make this point clearer, please.

That's all for now. Thanks for release.

Hi Hayk,
Thanks. Installation instructions will be fixed today in few hours.

1. Thanks for your feedback. Main style? Are you talking about Front End? If so you will see a couple of new templates this week

2. Working on this right now. Thanks for your patience.

Please report bugs if you find them.

[Hayk]

Yes, Vasily, I mean front end. I think a front end with a style like admin panel would be very nice.

Here are two more notes you should clarify or fix:

1. New feature of adding fund to account. In account balance page it says that no any gateway installed. This should be clarified - what to install, how to install etc.

2. There is a strange restriction in usernames where the usernames with more than 2 words cannot be registered. I think it should be avoided.

[Vasily B.]

Guys, right now Dmitry is preparing upgrade script. It will be released in about an hour or so. After that we will release 2checkout, PayPal and Alertpay plugins. Thanks for your patience.

About usernames. AFAIK it allows to create usernames with latin letters and digits only.

About template. I will ask the guys to prepare something similar
