Asgaros Forum v2.0: Time to move forward!
Quote from Asgaros on January 30, 2022, 1:41 pmI am happy to announce version 2.0 of the Asgaros Forum plugin for WordPress. I know, it was a bit silent in the last couple of months (maybe even years), but now it is time to move forward.
Change in Versioning
This version jump probably creates big expectations, but you can consider this version as a little enhancement release which prepares the code-bases for exciting new features. From this release on, Asgaros Forum is transitioning away from Semantic Versioning and adopting WordPress versioning, which fits best to the WordPress ecosystem.

Security Improvements
In the last releases, a lot of security-improvements have been implemented into the code-base. We will continue focussing on this important aspect in this and upcoming releases to ensure that Asgaros Forum is following highest security standards.
Changes & Features of this Release
- Added a revised pagination which comes with a new style
- Added an option to hide the names of online users from the statistics section
- Added an option to define units (KB/MB/GB) for the maximum file-size of uploads
- Added the forum name to notifications

- Added: asgarosforum_overwrite_topic_counter_cache filter

- Changed: Improved multiple strings for better clarifications
- Performance improvements and code optimizations
- Updated Font Awesome to version 5.15.4

What comes next?
Actually I planned to include the long-awaited Private Forums functionality in this v2.0 release to justify a big version-jump like the current one a bit more. However, multiple long-awaited bug-fixes and a security-fix brought me to the decision to release this version a bit earlier than expected. Nevertheless, I made big progress on Private Forums in the last couple of weeks and will definitely release this new feature in the upcoming version 2.1. You can follow the progress closely in this GitHub ticket:

Version 2.0 of Asgaros Forum will be available in the next 24 hours via the WordPress Updater!

Quote from Biker on January 31, 2022, 9:28 amThanks for all the work…
I installed the update yesterday, but haven’t really looked at the changes yet.
But our members immediately noticed something new.
Namely the pagination.
I was immediately asked if I could switch back to the old version.
That’s why I’m asking here if this can be adjusted somewhere.
Unfortunately, there is also no translation into German.

Quote from N3k0 on February 1, 2022, 8:22 pmCan we have in this new route a option to add a “dark mode” to the forum? that will be nice 🙂 adding in the style section options to add our own colors when the forum detects dark mode is on.
Cheers!

Quote from WinstonTodd on February 2, 2022, 5:35 pmМожем ли мы в этом новом маршруте добавить на форум «темный режим»? это было бы неплохо 🙂 добавление в опции раздела стиля, чтобы добавить наши собственные цвета, когда форум обнаруживает, что темный режим включен.
Ваше здоровье!

danke für Deine unermüdliche Arbeit. Bezüglich der Seitennavigation muss ich @biker recht geben. Unsere User haben sich auch beschwert, vor allem bei Beiträgen, die mehr als ein paar Seiten haben ist man nur noch am klicken. Wäre es möglich entweder eine Wechselmöglichkeit zur alten Version oder zumindest ein “Gehe zu Seite” (sieht man ja auch häufiger auf Seiten) einzubauen?
Im Moment behelfen sich die Benutzer über das Anpassen der Seitenzahl im Link, aber das ist auch nicht gerade das Gelbe vom Ei.
Danke nochmals.
Gruß Robert

Quote from aamarkus on March 29, 2022, 8:50 amHallo @asgaros,
unsere User beschweren sich ebenfalls über die neue Seitennavigation und auch wir hätten gerne die alte Seitennavigation zurück, bzw. wäre eine Auswahl im Backend, welche Form diese haben sollte vielleicht gar nicht schlecht.
Ist es irgendwie möglich, auf die alte Seitennaviation umzustellen?
Gruß,
Markus
Hello @asgaros,
our users are also complaining about the new page navigation and we would also like to have the old page navigation back, or perhaps a selection in the backend as to what type it should be would not be bad at all..
Is it somehow possible to switch back to the old page navigation?
Greetings,
Markus
