Guild Launch News
Version 2.2 - August 29th - Sneak Peak
The following features are confirmed at this time for the Version 2.2 August 29th release. This is not a complete feature list. These are just the ones I'm willing to say with 100% assurance are in the release:
Complete Control Over Forum Icons
All forum icons can now be replaced. Users can upload new icons into their file library or anywhere else and then paste the images URL into a page where each default icon is shown. When that page is saved the new URL is used for the icon on the forum pages. Any valid URL can be used, and blanking out the URL returns the default icon.
Complete Primary Navigation Menu Control
The primary navigation, the navigation across the top on most templates and on the top left in some templates, is now fully customizable. You can add links to any URL, you can use images instead of text, you can use a dropdown to add a link to a custom page, and you can use a dropdown to add a link to any of the default items. All links are sortable and can be moved up and down, etc. In addition, you can choose whether to show your navigation across the top in a horizontal fashion or on the left navigation in a vertical fashion.
This menu customization screen in the template area will replace the "Yes/No" settings on the Admin->Content screen since removing the link is equivalent to saying "no" on the Admin->Content screen. Some items, such as bank and who's online settings will remain on the Admin->Content screen.
Friends List
Users can now mark other users as "friends". You can make a comment about them such as "Awesome Team Player" and we'll link to their guild site and profile.
Accented Imports for Rapid Raid
Accented characters will now import properly with the CT_RaidTracker.
Bank Improvements
The bank backpack will now import properly.
The first two customization items while they sound fairly small in their explanation are HUGE and critical when it comes to customization of your site. Those two options will increase the customizability of the sites tremendously.
Enjoy!
