Guild Launch News
RELEASE: Version 4.2.1
Guild Launch Version 4.2.1
This release contains enhancements to the Guild Description, Guild News and the display of the last forum posts widget, the shoutbox and the Guild News dates.
Enhancements
Guild News
The Guild News is now a widget. The widget has been added to all sites that were already showing the Guild News. The widget has been placed in the top content area. The widget behaves almost exactly like the functionality did before, but you can now move the widget around the page.
Other changes include: If you put the widget in a sidebar only the title of the post will show. The title is now linked in the main display also. In addition, the post date has been replaced by the number of seconds, minutes, hours or days ago the post was made. This presentation is more useful than an exact date.
Guild Description
The Guild Description is now a widget. In effect it now behaves like an HTML widget, but it can moved around and will display whatever you have in the guild description wherever you put it.
Last Forum Post widget
The last forum post widget now shows the name of the last poster in the thread, instead of the original poster. In addition, it has been changed to show the number of seconds, minutes, hours or days since the post was made.
Shoutbox
The shoutbox now shows the seconds, minutes, hours or days since the post was made.
A note about the seconds, minutes, hours, days calculation
These calculations are not exact. They are rounded down to the nearest minute, until an hour has passed, then rounded down to the nearest hour until a day has passed, etc.
Forum Enhancements
Strikethrough, Center and Basic Table BBCodes are now available. The BBCode for tables requires some knowledge of HTML to get right, but it is after all writing HTML. So, if you know what you are doing with HTML tables the syntax should be straigtforward. Otherwise you can still use a custom page to have the table code written for you by the WYSIWYG.
Enjoy!
