AdaptBB - 1.0 Features
By: charliepage @ Jan 07, 2009 - 2:28 pm
With the announcement of AdaptBB finally going under serious development for the first time in over 2 years, the release of AdaptBB 1.0 is finally going to happen and the work continues.
When it was decided that AdaptBB would be happening, it was then of course time to start the brainstoming. Whereas the CMS market is competitive, but has some holes and much to expand on, the forum market is practically locked up tightly but the two most popular - phpBB (open source) and vBulletin (paid).
However some unique features have been thought of for AdaptBB 1.0 and I'll share a few of those today.
More work on AdaptBB

An article has been posted on Insane Visions with a monthly post showing last month's poll and then this month's and such. But normally included is an update on one of the scripts and in this posting some exciting things were revealed:
"...But more importantly is what I would consider "Major" progress on AdaptBB 1.0 in the past few days. Several exciting features are not being revealed just yet, but we have now gotten just about all main posting features done (make new topic, new reply, edit post, etc.) and are now working on permissions/authentication.
By all means there is still a lot of work left to do, from a system to know what topics and forums have been read by the user and CMS integration/Forum Converts among more forum features left to do. But with recent gains we hope to continue the progress and be able to release features and screen shots very soon! The possibility of a demo is still not going to happen really soon, but next month it's a pretty good possibility."
I've bolded the most important and exciting tidbits to read. At times it may seem like AdaptBB is a dead script or hardly worked on. It's true for a few weeks no work was done on it, but the lack of updates have mostly been because so many little things have been worked on to get it more and more functional.
But now that the main posting features are done (authentication/permissions were done last night!) we are looking at revealing features and screen shots very soon. With just the progress made between now and the post at Insane Visions, there's even a chance of a demo this month!
Be sure to stay tuned to this site, we will have a Blog posted in the following days as well as the launch of a Gallery and Features page.
