Changes

• Laravel has been updated from v5.5 to 6.0

• Several dependencies (vendor packages) have been updated to newer versions
• The thujohn/rss-l4 package is no longer maintained and not compatible with Laravel >5. Therefore it has been removed as a dependency, but has been included to Contentify's code and now lives in Contentify\Vendor\Rss. Check the Contentify/Vendor/Rss/README.md to learn more.
• This version includes all Contentify updates since the release of 3.0 (basically bug fixes).

Changelog - v3.0

This is the release of version 3.0.

Important Notes:

Changes

• Added translations for Portugues and Italian (incomplete)
• The global sort_switcher helper function has been removed. You may use the HTML::sortSwitcher() method instead.

• Fixed a bug in the database backup job - it will no longer try to create a backup every minute
• A lot of refactoring has been done
• Docker update

• A lot of changes have been made at places other than the code, for example the REAMDE.md got an update and the Tavis-CI file has been modified

Changes Not providing a changelog here - please take a look at the commits.

Contentify 2.6

v2.6 will be the last big release of the 2.x series. Afterwards the focus of development will switch to 3.0. This does not mean there won't be any updates for 2.x. If it makes sense there might be a 2.6.1 release. However, v2.6 marks the end of an area, the end of the somehow old-schoolish Contentify.

Changelog

• Added data privacy / GDPR support - activate it in the config! Visitors will then see a hint on the website that they have to accept.
• Added polls module which also includes a widget. Take a look at the README.md in the module's folder to learn more.
• Added meta information (author, description and keywords) to the website settings (thanks to kamohy!)
• Added config fields for custom LESS and JavaScript code
• Display info text if a page is empty when it does not have any content yet
• Added short biography config value and widget @widget('Pages::ShortBiography')
• Downloads & galleries now have a "published" attribute
• Events and downloads can be internal
• Created comments admin backend page (www.your-domain.com/admin/comments)
• Added social links attribute fields to partners (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter)
• Added discord user profile attribute
• Allow BBCode in user (forum) signatures
• Added experimental support for SVG files - most likely incomplete yet so use with care!
• When installing Contentify and setting up the database, show an animated icon (spinner)
• Show warning in the admin dashboard if little free disk space is left
• Spanish language is now available (finally!)
• Updating FontAwesome from 5.0.1 to 5.4.2
• Fixed bugs

Contentify 2.5

This is a rather small release, basically extending language support and fixing some annoying bugs. Some of the features that were planned to be released in v2.5 will be released in v2.6 instead.

ATTENTION: Currently it is not possible to use the new Spanish translations with installations of Contentify that update from 2.4 to 2.5. This issue will be addressed with v2.6.

Changelog

• [New complete Spanish translation (thanks to the contributor!)]
• Added cup teams complete overview page
• PHP 7.2 supported
• Deleting forum threads works again
• Team widget now respects position values
• Fixed bug in social media link template
• Fixed a permission bug in the cup teams area
• Fixed a bug so that users are now able to restore their password
• Fixed a small bug in model handler class

Contentify 2.4

Breaking changes

• We updated the underlying framework, Laravel, from version 5.3 to 5.4. Updates of Laravel tend to cause bugs. We hope there are none but chances are we did not find them all.
• Internet Explorer below 9 (especially 6-8) is no longer supported at all. Yes, before version 2.4 we supported good old IE down to version 6. Well, at least some how, we did not do any testing with these old version but we still had jQuery 1.x plus the HTML5 Shiv lib loaded. This stops now. We updated to jQuery 2 - which is outdated as well but we want a smooth shift to jQuery 3 instead of causing too much trouble in v2.4. We also dropped HTML5 shiv for good.
• Hitbox has been deprecated since version 2.3. With 2.4 support has been removed at all. The update script is able to migrate your old Hitbox streams to Smashcast. However, please check them!
• The names of several variables in the LESS files have been renamed. They use kebap case instead now.

Other changes

• New FAQ module
• New cash flows module
• Lots of Backend UI and UX improvements
• Now users can click on table headers to sort table columns
• Added support for these social links: Twitch, Instagram, Discord
• Theme (CSS) compiling now works without a JS task runner
• Made website title editable in the admin backend
• If a user accounts is created via Steam, username and email now have to be set
• Forum moderators now have a badge
• Added Steam login button to login page
• Added language switcher widget (with flags to click)
• Improved visuals and UX of form error messages
• Added missing model type annotations (e.g. created_at)
• Fixed color in date time picker (in the backend) for years & months
• Added preview images for themes
• Refactoring
• Lots of bug fixes
