Withgreat pleasure I am annoucing the release of JFusion 1.2.4. Everybody on the JFusion team has worked extremely hard to tackle bug reports and implement many new features. From the changelog below you can see for yourself on how fast the JFusion development is going.

To update to the latest jfusion version, click the upgrade button in your jfusion version checker or download the 1.2.4 package from the jfusion website and install it in your joomla installer (no uninstall of jfusion needed).

JFusion 1.2.4 Changelog

Overall:
1. All frameless links in phpbb, vb, and smf should now be WC3 compliant (see revision log 1932)
2. Reverted revision r1844 as it was causing issues with the login checker and with some slave plugins not being logged in. If the system plugin was enabled while running SMF, this meant that login was impossible (SMF was not logged in and the system plugin then logged out joomla).
3. changed ergi (depreciated in php 5.3) to preg_match to suppress any depreciated warning messages
4. Added catches to prevent blocking or inactivating Super Admins in joomla_int.
5. Fixed an issue where joomla_int's createSession allowed a session/login to be created even if the user was assigned to the Public Frontend or Public Backend groups.
6. Added a few missing lang strings for the front end login process.
7. Changed the user plugin to only call Joomla int's createSession if logging in via Joomla's backend (but not the login checker) and return the result. This prevents backend lockouts due to the user being blocked or inactivated in the master plugin (1.2.x) or any preceding plugin (2.0).
8. Added a check to make sure jfile always has an extention to prevent error messages when using the SEF .html extention mode of Joomla.
9. Create a separate setVar statement for the jfusion_route param, to prevent this parameter (used to determine urls in gallery2 frameless) showing up on installs running joomfish.
10. Fixed: notification error where not return reference
11. Fixed some language typos
12. Changed JFusionFunction::getPluginURL to return xhtml compliant urls by default. Updated the few places to reflect this change where xhtml urls should no be used. Fixed other miscellaneous xhtml incompliant issues.
13. Changed JURI::root() in syncoptions view to JFusionFunction::getJoomlaURL() to account for JURI limitations such as determining https.
14. loginchecker: show jfusion debug info only for the jfusion user plugin. Added error check.
15. Fixed: error message for delete history.
16. Fixed: Error with resolve user problem was that the user did not sellect a sync id when pressing "Resolve errors" in the user sync history. now it will go back to user sync history and then display error message if this error is made.
17. Updated JFusionFunction::getAltAvatar to return absolute links so as to not have issues with SEF pages if live_site is not set in Joomla's config file.
18. Add jnodeid parameter detection in jfusion user plugin
19. Changed system plugin to call onAfterDispatch rather than onAfterInitialise to prevent calling keepalive functions twice in situations like logging in.
20. model.curl: Copied last changes from trunk version. Allows form input fields without a type definition (sic!)
21. model.curl: Repaired a 'strict' php warning message caused by one of the latest changes in the curl routines
22. suppressed a possible notice in the login checker
23. fixed issue with advanced usergroup always being updated due to misspelled variable name
24. Fixed some notices generated by plugins using advanced usergroup mode if the master is changed.
25. Removed blanket safe html filtering for activity results (and CB activity results) as this removed essential HTML needed for correct parsing (eg. phpBB smilies).
26. Fixed an issue where Joomla's and not the master's information was passed into slave plugin's updateUser by JFusion's user plugin's onAfterStoreUser. This caused an issue for updating usergroups since the usergroup id was Joomla's and not the master's.
27. Also fixed an issue where errors were overwritten by debug info for administrators.

phpBB:
1. Forum filtering based on user permissions (for activity and search plugin)
2. Fixed a few minor bugs including discussion bot parsing, allowing redirect plugin to ignore mods, fragments in redirects
3. Fixed a notice generated by phpBB's getUser when $result was not populated but was testing against $result->username.
4. Fixed a couple phpbb sql errors for activity module
5.
6. Added feature to show a new post icon for activity module using a new function JFusionForum::checkReadStatus(). This commit only implements this for phpBB. To be implemented in other plugins soon.
7. Fixed an issue with phpbb group permissions for the Anonymous user.
8. prevented issue with phpbb3 usergroup being lost when advanced usergroup was called to update to the same usergroup, thereby deleting the entry from the usergroup table.
9. added get/post var backup to the phpbb3 session synchronising code to ensure that posting data never gets lost, even if a user waits a day before submitting the post (after opening the reply window in his browser)

vBulletin:
1. Gave option to choose a custom field as a "real name" to be displayed in JFusion's modules/plugins
2. Update to accommodate vB's change where it uses a specialized cookie salt to create cookie hashes
3. Fixed issue where the post date created by vbulletin was set for the future due to a misnamed constant.
4. Added feature for custom vbulletin bbcodes in posts to be displayed as associated html in Joomla article.
5. vB smilies are now used when parsing posts to be displayed in Joomla's articles. This means that custom smilies will be displayed as well.
6. F ixed issue with vB keepAlive function.

Efront:
1. Fixed Username filtering
2. Surname and Lastname cannot have spaces in front or at thane. trimmed those.

SMF:
1. Fixed issue where discussion bot created threads/posts messed up new post markings
2. Fixed issue with the redirect mod when using framess mode and in full sef mode
3. Fixed bad SQL statements for SMF discussion bot functions.

Moodle:
1. Some Moodle configuration files have a slighly different format if f.i. changed manually. Repaired

Activity Module:
1. Option to display username/name
2. Option to parse output as html, plaintext, or raw
1. Along with this, fixed the issue where html/bbcode was getting cut off when using a character limit
3. Option to display a "new post" icon for new posts for the logged in user (phpBB, SMF, and vB) (only works if forums are set to use the database rather than cookies; phpBB and I think SMF does this by default but vB has to be configured to do so)

Login Module:
1. Fixed issue where changing display of username/name had no affect

Search plugin:
1. For the forum plugins, option to select specific forums for searching

Discussion bot:
1. Gave option to display username/name
2. Fixed a few layout bugs
3. Fixed bug where if auto mode was set to create a thread only for new articles and the article was manually plugged with {jfusion_discuss #}, the discussion bot would still create a new article
4. Fixed timezone issues
5. Now uses Joomla's user preference or global config timezone setting so that posts in articles are displayed in user's preferred timezone
6. Merged prepareBbcode, cleanSearchResultText, and prepareText into one function JFusionPublic::prepareText. This funciton is used to format text presented in the various areas of JFusion. With it, gave the activity module the option to display results as raw, plaintext, or html.
