Office 2007 Professional Advanced Forum drupal.o

[hunankl132]

Originally developed for my Coulee Region forums, Sophisticated Forum builds on and enhances Drupal's core forum module. When utilized in combination with other Drupal contributed modules, lots of that are immediately utilized by Advanced Forum,Office 2010 Pro Plus, it is possible to accomplish considerably of what stand alone application supplies. Because it uses the core forum module, it utilizes the node and comment technique built into Drupal and is also completely integrated, not a bridge. While it does not have each of the capabilities of stand by yourself forum programs, currently being completely integrated into your site offers positive aspects that they will not.
News

It takes me a very long time from opening a new branch to releasing a x.0 version (years, not months). During this time, attributes are added, code is refactored, and lots of things change,Office Professional Plus 2010, sometimes radically. I work on this module here and there in between raising kids and working on my own projects and frequently end up committing things that aren't quite done and may even be critically broken. For this reason, I normally do not advise using the development snapshots in production. When we are very close to a new release, and the dev snapshot is so considerably better than the last release, I take extra care to commit only working code and will say on this page that it's safe to use.
Because it's such a very long time between the branch opening and a stable release, and numerous people want to start using the new version, and I never want them using the snapshots, I make periodic "Alpha" releases. I label these as "Alpha" because they are part of ongoing development but they aren't "Alpha" quality. Each of these releases is made as solid and bug free as I possibly can make them. They are safe to use but not feature complete. The caveat is that the next release may be radically different. If you use the module mostly as is, that's not a problem. AF does not store data so you won't lose any of your content in an upgrade. If you have a heavily customized style, though, you will need to figure out what has changed since the last release and make adjustments. If it is possible to live with this, I highly recommend using the named releases with the actively developed branch because that is where the best features are. Plus, the more people using it and,Office 2007 Professional, most importantly, giving feedback and helping where possible, the more solid it is.
When I have added all the attributes planned for a branch, I move to "Beta" to work out the bugs and then to "RC" for final checks. I try to avoid adding major capabilities in either of these but might add minor ones, especially if they do not affect the styles or strings.
Version Status
Last updated:March 28, 2011
D6 1.x: This branch is feature complete and will only be getting security fixes and possibly bug fixes at this point. Support questions are answered if I have time but my focus is on 2.x. Even though this is the stable branch, you should consider using 2.x if you don't require absolute stability.
D6 2.x: This is the actively developed branch. Right now, most new functions are added here first and ported to D7 due to the fact Michelle is still working in D6.
D7: Troky ported and is also maintaining this branch. At this time, Michelle is not involved at all, so several kudos to Troky. Without him, there wouldn't be a D7 branch before next summer. Now that the D6 branch has a new alpha, the D7 branch should be getting one soon. Demonstration
ShellSN is the demo site for my modules,Office 2007 Professional Plus Key, including AF 2.x, that you can play with. You are able to also view an example implementation on my Coulee Region discussion boards but please will not make an account there unless you actually plan to participate in our community. 2.x screenshots are available as well. There is no demonstration website for 1.x.
Themes with styles
If you offer a theme (free or for purchase) that includes an Innovative Forum style, let me know and I'll add you to this list.
Fever Ultra - Included from the pay version.
Share your website
If you are using this module on a publicly visible website, I'd love to hear from you. It's always fun to see your module employed in the wild.
Donations
My modules are not sponsored except for very rare paid for capabilities. I am a full time mom with no income currently. I use donations as my "mad money" to buy things that I'd like to have but can't justify putting into the family budget. If my module has helped you and you'd like to thank me monetarily, I usually have a Chipin active or you can use PayPal directly. My PayPal email has a domain of charter DOT net and a user name of mcox (didn't print it directly to confused spam bots). If you can't afford to thank with money, then go help someone who knows less about Drupal than you. Pay it forward. :)
