The Official Community Forums Module for DNN CMS

Important Upgrade Notes

The release notes will follow, below these important notes.

Upgrading Through 8.0 & 8.1 (must read)

First, if you're upgrading from a version earlier than 8.0, you NEED to view the important release note FYI wiki articles below.

New "Legacy Token" Replacement

Tokens are used in various templates to insert content from a forum, topic, reply, etc. into a page. However, in previous versions, HTML was injected from code for certain tokens, which made it impossible for a designer to tailor the HTML markup without customizing the code.

DNN Community Forums 08.02.00 introduces new token replacement features that inject only the data associated with the token, allowing the designer to create whatever HTML markup is desired.

The community-default and community-bootstrap themes and templates have been updated to include the markup that used to be generated in the module's code.

However, for installed sites that have other themes and templates, DNN Community Forums 08.02.00 will replace a legacy token--on-the-fly--with its modern replacement, including the previously-injected markup.

For example, [GROUPNAME] will now be replaced by [FORUMGROUP:FORUMGROUPLINK|<a href="{0}" class="dcf-forumgroup-link"&gt;[FORUMGROUP:GROUPNAME]&lt;/a&gt;]

IMPORTANT! The legacy token replacement feature will be supported through version 10.00.00, and will then be removed.

If you use your own themes and templates, please visit our wiki to read more and see which legacy tokens are replaced by which updated tokens.

Removed Duplicated Templates

In 08.00.00, template loading was enhanced to fallback/default from theme templates to module default templates, making it no longer necessary to duplicate all templates into a theme folder if not specifically customizing a template for a particular theme.

Several templates shipped with the community themes have been removed in 08.02.00 since they are the same as the defaults in /config/templates. If you have a custom theme and a template has not been customized from the version shipped with DNN Community Forums, the template can be removed from your custom theme if desired.
