Hi guys!
Finally I can tell you the exact day when the new version (1.3) will be released. It's September, 1st. Actually the new version is ready, but I need to test it to find out as many bugs as possible before releasing. You can take a look at the new version in action (user side only) at
www.funnyball2.comHere is the list of changes (in random order):
- .dcr games are allowed
- linked games (i.e. those you don't host on your site... instead of uploading a game you just post a URL of its swf/dcr file)
- AJAX-based rating system (5-star)
- block "Related games"
- block "Random game"
- block "Publish game on a blog/website"
- block "Who likes this game"
- block "Top Users"
- user CP which includes the following:
* avatars
* list of users
* list friends
* list of fans (people who have added the user to their friends)
* better list of favorites
* better login interface including "forgot password" system
* way better registering system which does not allow duplicate emails, usernames, etc.
- user rating tracking (rating depends on gameplays, number of comments and game rating submits)
- user administration interface in the admin CP which allows admin to:
* add users
* delete users
* edit any user
* change global user-related settings (like max avatar size, number of days an inactive user's record stays in the database, etc.)
- improved searching module which now searches in titles as well
- way better multilingual abilities (each game and category now havу 2 fields in the database - title and latin_title, the 1st one is for SEO-friendly URLs only, while the first one can be in any language)
- improved comments administration - you can now bulk delete, activate/deactivate them
- php custom pages (like
this one)
That's all for the moment... maybe I forgot something (the list of changes is quite large), but those are the most important ones.
