Unmaintained UI.X 1.5.22.0

Hi all,

We noticed that after our last release a few days ago, some fairly large issues came up. Most of them were caching related so I want to urge people to:

1. DO NOT INSTALL UNTIL YOU'VE TESTED LOCALLY
2. KEEP BACKUPS OF YOUR THEMES
3. Make sure to purge cache and refresh a few times just to be sure before reporting bugs
4. IF there are actual bugs, we FULLY support UI.X and will be happy to login and fix critical issues. None actually came up last release, to be clear, in fact they've NEVER come up. But if they do we are here to help. Always.

UI.X must be considered a software sitting within XenForo, especially days after a major release. So it must be tested. In fact, if you are uncomfortable, wait a few days for those who are fine beta testing to run through and find some bugs.

Here is the changelog. All major bugs reported to us have been fixed, and then we also added a few improvements as well:

1. Sidebar icons no longer absolute positioned
2. Width toggler can be disabled now (oops)
3. Members page adding to the URL instead of loading the page
4. Flexbox issue on nav style 3
5. UserBar loading issue
6. Border radius' can be turned off with one setting (at least the JS code)
7. Links added to off canvas visitor tabs are now styled correctly
8. Wrong message with outdated add-on message in the ACP
9. Sticky footer can now be disabled correctly
10. Welcome section glyph uses iconator now
11. Iconator labels returned so you know what you are editing
12. Sticky Sidebar touching the footer
13. Fluid width issue for guests
14. Logo not clickable
15. Fixed a thread prefixes issue
16. If a category didn't have any nodes, node grid causes a js issue which has been fixed
17. Inability to turn off node icons as glyphs fixed

STEPS TO UPGRADE (or install fresh), IN THIS ODER:

1. First, and foremost, make a backup of your theme. A backup of your site as a whole is never a bad idea either especially if you are going to production board
2. Second, disable the UI.X Add-on. This will cause some PHP errors if you are missing tables, so its best to just disable it. If you do accidentally forget, you must add $config['enableListeners'] = 0; to your library/config.php file, then start back at step 2.
3. Download the latest version of the add-on, located in your downloads area as a green button
4. Upload the contents of the /upload/ folder within that extracted zip folder to your root XenForo directory
5. After that has finished, go into your XenForo ACP and click on the UI.X add-on. You will get a modal that says upgrade add-on. Browse for the .xml of the add-on that was in the .zip file and continue
6. After that has finished, you can choose if you want to update the theme via the add-on or manually. We recommend doing it automatically so that is how we will continue in step 7.
7. If you go to Appearance, on the sidebar you'll see UI.X > Styles. Click Update next to the style you want to update, or you can install fresh here as well.

After this has finished, all files should be correct. You may need to run through and change a few style properties or merge some templates. If you get stuck WE ARE HERE TO HELP. We want your site to be working properly and for you to love the final result. Post in the thread or create a ticket at audentio.com!

Thanks for using UI.X!

Hi everyone,

This version includes over 100 new features and improvements. These features are always optimized so that no extra load time is incurred. In fact, load time has been decreasing (in other words, we're getting FASTER) for the last few versions and this one is even faster that the previous.

This release we are calling the Platinum release and will be the last major release for XenForo 1.X. We will be working on some videos and better documentation moving forward. We are so proud of this project and what it has become. We aim to spend the rest of our time on bug fixes, new add-ons, new themes, and some other new products. We will continue to fully support this add-on and offer the level of support that is unrivaled.

Please note that this add-on requires the latest UI.X Add-on. You should:

1. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR THEMES. ALL OF THEM.
2. Download the add-on from your license manager first
3. Then disable the add-on on your board
4. Perform the upgrade (upload files first then upgrade the add-on in XenForo via uploading the .xml inside the ACP)
5. Turn the add-on back on
6. Finally you can upgrade the theme.

You can of course upload files simultaneously to save time.

Thanks,
Mike

Hey all,

Sorry for releasing this right after the main release, but we found a few crucial bugs worth fixing.

Bugs and improvements:

• Sticky footer - minor javascript bug that caused the height of footer to increase
• Postbit issue on firefox where images and text would not wrap properly - mainly affected firefox and IE
• Flexbox footer improvements for IE10
• Deleted uix_visitorTabs - we use navigation_visitor_tab for better support with add-ons
• Home link as icon spacing on IE and Firefox
• Social Media icons can be toggled on or off on a per theme basis as well as global
• Global footer html parsing issue fixed - supports html now
• rating and event icons in the profile tab have been fixed

To upgrade:

If you have 1.4.5.0 (or the patch that followed) installed successfully with UI.X or any other theme of ours properly synced, all you need to do is press the update button.

If you have not yet installed 1.4.5.0 (or the patch that followed), here are some more instructions:

1. Go to Audentio.com to generate an API Key
2. Go to Audentio.com orders page and then click on any XenForo license.
3. Click the download button. Doing so will get you the UI.X official add-on
4. With your API key in your clipboard (to copy and paste), go back to your ACP.
5. Install the add-on by uploading the files (the contents of /upload/ copy to your root XenForo directory) and then installing the add-on .xml file that comes with it
6. After that is done, go to UI.X General under XenForo Options. Paste in the API key. Make sure check for unassociated styles is turned on.
7. Now go to Styles and find your current UI.X license. Make sure the name of the theme is UI.X. If this is the case you should see a link next to it called 'sync with add-on'. Click this so long as you have never edited UI.X and rather made all changes to a child theme, as per our documentation and installation instructions
8. After the UI.X theme has been synced, you will be able to update it by clicking update. This is all you'll have to do henceforth.
9. If you got any error messages, make sure js and styles folders are writeable and try again.
10. Then make sure to upgrade the theme like normal by visually checking for issues and also merging and updating outdated templates.

Need help?

We can do the upgrade for you. Contact us via a message or via our website http://www.audentio.com/contact

Hi everyone,

We sent an email and a few other messages out trying to make sure everyone is comfortable upgrading. Before moving on, its good to know, we offer upgrading services, just contact us if you need help.

A few important notes:

• DO NOT upgrade UI.X the traditional way, at least not without reading this first
• BACKUP your current version of UI.X and any child themes
• UI.X is now supported by an add-on (phrases, features, permissions, lots of good stuff), this add-on is required as we have now supported phrases
• Installation is now handled via the add-on (optional but highly preferred as this will alert you when there are updates in your ACP and allow one-click upgrades)
• This add-on makes a callback to our server ONLY to check for updates to themes -- how else could we tell you this information.
• NO INFORMATION IS GATHERED ABOUT YOUR SITE FROM THIS CALLBACK

Installing:

1. After you get the email regarding the update (to follow), you can go to your customer area to find the package as usual
2. What you download will be the UI.X add-on alone
3. Install the add-on. It is also worth making all files in styles/uix writeable (666) so make sure to set those file permissions on uix and set to be recursive
4. It will prompt you to enter an API key that you will need from Audentio Design (you can get one now at that link)
5. Also make sure that Check for Unassociated Styles is selected in UI.X Options
6. After that has been accepted you can go to Appearance > Styles. Find your UI.X and there should be an icon that says Sync with UI.X Add-on. Click this.
7. After doing so, you will get a message saying that you have a theme out dated. Clicking the prompt will allow you to upgrade your UI.X right there. No downloading files necessary anymore.

Note that if you do not want to use the API its not necessary. The files will be available in the changelog in your customer area. No callback at all will be made.

Reporting bugs:

As usual, we highly appreciate and value you taking the time to post a bug. If it is a bug, we WILL fix it as soon as we possibly can. Every bug reported to us is considered and fixed in the next release. Please post it in the thread with as much information as you can about it.

Changelog:

1. Added specific (better quality) support for Post Ratings
2. Added a setting specifically to add or remove breadcrumb home icon
3. Added a setting to hide breadcrumb on the home tab (since its kinda pointless)
4. Setting to remove either the forum list and/or the home page title bar (since its kinda pointless)
5. Support for @AndyB ’s bookmark add-on, just tabbed something in
6. Converted the Footer to an add-on, so you can have the same footer across multiple themes without any issue
7. Added a node grid system, can control the width of any node on any view. Great for truly getting a metro interface for your forum index
8. Fixed how the user account on the user preferences (sidebar) dropdown didn’t have an icon, one has been added
9. Removed the setting @uix_breadcrumbHeight, as there is already a @breadcrumb.height var - just for cleanliness and order
10. Added a setting to control when the .footer menu links center, as opposed to being hard coded at @maxResponsiveMediumWidth
11. Added a feature called minimal search
12. Added the ability to support both a right and a left off canvas navigation
13. Added a setting to remove the tabLinks on sticky. Will also correctly remove itself once the bottom of the navtabs reaches an offset of the height of the navTabs. In short, you won’t see a gap when it hides anymore.
14. Sticky navs that start sticky have been improved performance over scroll-to as it should be. In general the logic has been improved, and a rare situation where flickering would occur has been fixed entirely.
15. Styled .importantMessage
16. Welcome Block has been turned into an add-on, thus you get permission and can have the same welcome block across multiple UI.X supported themes
17. Featured Threads, specifically the home tab, has been given specific attention as it had a weird box-sizing issue
18. FontAwesome is loaded locally by default to stop the tickets from people wondering why it wasn’t working (cross-origin error some servers will throw/https issue)
19. Fixed overflow on the #jumpMenu div (quick navigation menu)
20. Fix animation on offCanvas, and removed local coordinates on mainContent for support with the Gridder notifications by @Chris D (i.e.: removed the translate3d, not a bug on our end)
21. Online indicator margin issue when using the default triangle style has been fixed.
22. Building blocks heading design improved, just changed the background and removed borders essentially, looks more modern
23. Controls on deleted threads have been added back in. So if a thread was deleted there wasn’t any options to edit, view, hard delete, etc.
24. ScrollingUp style sticky nav now works on mobile
25. StickyNav issues in IE have been fixed
26. Once and for all we think we’ve entirely cracked the issue on internal anchor offset. So clicking the last post, sticky nav or not, correctly and intelligently finds the right post
27. Jumping to a quoted post, similarly, has been fixed
28. Removed gradient on prefix filter bar, should be all the gradients now I hope
29. Large avatars condensing the classic postbox, this has been fixed once and for all
30. XenGallery folders added to each style
31. FontAwesome local file added to all styles, as some had it missing for some reason
32. Overflow of the post thread pagination and search position 1 fixed
33. We added dropdown menus so no more 0,1,2,3 stuff!
34. Page and link icons on node list sized better and more intelligently
35. Poll overlayChooser shows the close button
36. Negative margins on post pagination offset now supported
37. Unread nodes and links in general now inherit their value. This is kinda of an issue with XenForo but we’ve come up with a nice clean fix. So if your unread state of links on the node list or thread list got out of whack this has been fixed
38. Post pagination throwing error the responsive navigation script in XenForo has been fixed
39. Insert Quotes dialog box has been fixed
40. Focus state on links in off canvas nav no longer a weird color
41. A sticky footer (that is to say, if the page is too small, footer will always show at the bottom of the viewport) has been built and supported in all page styles and settings, but you knew we’d of course support everything!
42. We removed uix_webapp, didn’t really do much
43. Ability to move post pagination to user bar or navigation as opposed to stuck just in navigation
44. All social media links added to an add-on so you don’t have to copy them to each uix supported theme
45. Setting to control max days the sidebar can be collapsed
46. Permissions for collapsing the sidebar (who can and who cannot)
47. All strings are now using the XenForo phrase system as they should be - that means we need language packs!
48. And most importantly, the ability to install and upgrade a theme directly in the ACP. Also note that installing a theme will automatically create a child theme for you, so hopefully no one will every have issues upgrading again!
49. Postbit buttons aligned to the bottom of the post, a setting to toggle
50. Preview tooltip has been styled better
51. Setting to hide breadcrumb on homepage
52. Setting to hide breadcrumb on forum list
53. Setting to hide title on homepage
54. Setting to hide title on forum list
55. Move visitortabs to navigation (and back) at different sizes - for consolidating the userbar on mobile

61. Sticky tablinks (when removed) do not clash with search position tab links
62. Support for @Bob's add-ons
63. Profile follow/followers block styled to match other blocks
64. Sub-forum call to action thread list goes full width
65. Upgraded FontAwesome to 4.3
66. Fixed .Menu overflow on off canvas nav
67. Created a style property for node info
68. Created a style property for discussion list item
69. …And a lot more optimizations and subtle improvements!

Specific JavaScript Improvements:

• Scroll - consolidated all scroll events into a single handler to ensure proper ordering of events and remove some redundant parts of events. Hard to quantify because of how quick things are but should improve the feel of scrolling
• Resize - consolidated all resize events into a single handler allowing the removal of several redundant parts of events.
• uix.checkRadius - up to 8x faster in some cases about about 5x faster on average than last release (which was ~90% faster than 2 releases ago).
• Reorganized uix.init to perform some things before document.ready. Reordered some functions to remove redundant calls saving about 15%.
• improved initialization of post pagination by about 30%
• improved welcome block and collapsed sidebar initializations to prevent a possible flicker
• improved responsiveness of sticky bars and fixed a flicker with scroll sticky.

Thanks everyone, I hope this serves as another great milestone for UI.X. Thank you to all who have helped contribute!

Thanks,
Mike

First of all, a huge apology for the delay. We of course don't generally take this long in between updates, but since 1.4.3 didn't require any template fixes that merging didn't resolve, we figured we'd spend all our focus on optimizing and improving the already powerful UI.X Framework. We realize that a lot of you have been waiting for work from us, upgrades, etc. But we set a goal for ourselves and we needed to reach it. I'd say we far exceeded that goal.

We also asked a few of you to help beta test this framework, which has now gained recognition from some of the largest XenForo installations around and it is a huge honor. So we needed to make sure that this worked on the largest of XenForo boards as clean and fast as possible, and I can honestly say we did just that. Thank you to the beta testers, and this release has passed their inspection.

In fact the largest XenForo board will be running UI.X in January.

So as usual I'm just going to regurgitate some of the focal points that we emphasized on, but naturally we fixed a lot of minor things as well, so if you have questions about any of those feel free to post it in the thread.

• XenForo Media Gallery fixes including toolbar icon
• Alignment of the quick reply editor in some areas, such as XMG and a few plugins should be resolved
• We widened the main user dropdown menu so it looks a little cleaner now and less cramped
• Moved the contents of uix_adStyler_variables to a style property (really this just fixes that outdated template issue some of you may have, just annoying I guess)
• You can now set a height just for tablinks when navigation is sticky
• You can now disable tablinks when navigation is sticky for a cleaner interface
• We added a post pagination option, mainly useful when you have navigation sticky -- this allows you to jump to posts within a thread
• We added a variable to allow you to collapse the sidebar at any viewport width, useful if your iPad or tablet landscape views are a bit cluttered. You can also always collapse the sidebar, useful if you never went a sidebar on any pages.
• When the navigation small logo shows/hides we rerun XenForo's repsonsive nav functionality which should fix the visitor tabs and search from dropping under the navigation sometimes
• Fixed the ordered list icon in the toolbar to be a numbered icon
• Welcome block button has a min-width of 75% now, just looks cleaner on mobile and more like a button
• Jump to bottom and jump to top JS has been improved
• You can stack the jump to top and jump to bottom fixed icons now in case you didn't like them side by side in the last release
• Node icons as glyphs no longer have that background issue
• The fixed jump to top/button delayed hide setting is now fully functional -- it will get out of your way now if its not being used and you are not scrolling
• The resource manager filter dropdown no longer collides with the tabs (this is a bug in XenForo but we added some code to fix it on UIX)
• A new sticky navigation 'style' so to speak, which makes the sticky nav only work on scroll up which is more like how a lot of apps behave
• Node collapse issue where node 11 would collapse node 111 for example has been fixed (finally, sorry )
• iOS flickering issue
• Major JS optimizations

As usual we do not recommend you upgrade live boards without doing a backup of your old UI.X (in case you modified it) and thoroughly testing on a demo board.

Our next primary focus is going to be fixing the couple RTL bugs and also the sticky nav offset internal links such as on reply.

Thanks!
Mike

Hi all,

Other than the page_container update of 1.4.2:

• Search can be as an input now on mobile, the only theme to allow this to my knowledge. We did keep it as an input by default, so if that messes with your design this is of course a setting to say show the icon at XX pixels.
• Slogan simplified, we might be making it work on mobile in the next release if we can think of a way for it to not interfere with anything
• Avatar centered on threadlist
• support strike-through bbcode

A lot of the changes were minor and not worth mentioning, just tweaks

NOTE: As usual do not update on a large live board unless you are willing to risk your theme slightly modifying. I dont think we made many changes but its always good to test first. The next release is likely to have a few new features, this one was just maintenance.

Don't forget to rate and review!!

Thanks,
Mike

Hi everyone,

This update is just to essentially increase usability in a few areas.

Features:

• Toolbar icons are now using FontAwesome as opposed to an image but this can be toggled
• Alerts are more prominent, we made them red. Its a feature cause we improved a bit the way xenforo handles alerts
• hide visitorTabs username at a certain width (save space on mobile)
• show avatar or glyph next to visitorTabs username (as opposed to only avatar)
• FontAwesome is now packaged locally
• FontAwesome updated to version 4.2
  
• HTML5 shiv/css3/media queries JS files packaged locally and a setting to make sure they run locally
• You can now close the welcome block modal and not have it prepend to the page
• Private message controls you can set the width at which it will show up, as opposed to it always being on or off. In other words, its responsive
• We did the same with the admin menu, you can choose a width in which it collapses into a menu - great for your moderators who prefer desktop
• When using the footer to add widgets, it will use the widget instead of the style property markup, so its easy to add say latest threads to your UIX extended footer
• retain avatar dimensions setting removed, just use 'l' (large) it will do the same thing as it did before
• We designed a nicer login modal box and turned that on by default
• Jump to bottom fixed
• Ability to float user banners in the postbit (cleans up things sometimes)

Bugs:

• Post History link when in menu didn't work, this is fixed
• xenPorta dropdown menu icon positioned correctly
• online indicator triangle was off a bit, we fixed the positioning
• breadcrumb icon was off on certain mobile devices (windows phone)
• page nav (pagination) width sometimes was off when you got into the hundreds, this should be fixed now
• ad_message_below ad template on mobile was off a bit, we fixed the margin issue
• Margin underneath the avatar in mobile postbit removed

Keep in mind, you should not update UI.X live on a product site ever, as sometimes there could be packaging errors or minor bugs we didn't foresee. That said, 1.4.0.1 was the most stable release with the fewest tickets to date. We are fairly confident this should be as well since we haven't made major updates. Just minor tweaks. And almost ALL of these features were specifically requested in the thread. So this is all you guys!

Thanks,
Mike

Hey all,

It has been a full year since the original release of UI.X, and wow how far we've come. We are so very proud of what we have built, and the support you all have given us is what we needed to make it possible. We hope that this last year stands as a testament to our commitment to our products and the appreciation we have for this amazing community and software. Looking towards the future we have amazing new products and resources we plan to build including videos on customizing UI.X, plugins to help your forum development and design process smoother, and much much more! Thank you all!

This update offers much needed basic improvements. The mobile experience has never been better. I say it a lot, but we are extremely proud of this release. It is the cornerstone of the future of UI.X and our product line. Everything has been perfected, and yet upgrading should still be a breeze. ALL bugs reported to us should now be fixed, and ALL features we mentioned we wanted to release have now been. Here is a list of the more prominent features:

• Category description tooltip
• Jump to top fade (turned off by default, will not fade out - some people wanted this feature so it has been built!)
• Rounded Online Indicator
• Pulsating Online Indicator (will do a cool little pulsar effect, can be disabled of course)
• We moved uix.css to be included after the last css file is called in the main include. This saves you a resource call.
• We moved fontAwesome above all JS, thus making your page load a bit faster
• Added <xen:hook> to the footer columns so you can now use widgets instead of static html (ie: hook:uix_footer_col1 for widget framework)
• Login with facebook text was discolored, we made the text white
• New label added so it can display 'New' next to a node. Great if you want to remove the node icons altogether and save space.
• Made the staff banner pull from tertiary color, more prominent than gray
• You can now add a favicon via a style property
• Side by side categories now is fully functional (node style 2)
• We completely reorganized the style properties so they are more intuitively named, better descriptions, and in proper order -- should be easier to find things! Should flow like a river of butter!
• Can hide footer menu (home/privacy policy/top/contact/etc), great if you want to just the extended footer instead.
• Move all private postbit message controls to a dropdown menu, great for consolidating the postbit. Turned on by default
• Center the postbit message controls at a certain width, you choose.
• We made some optimization improvements for those looking for quicker load time. We did all we could think of. If you have suggestions we are entirely open.
• More control on how you size the call to action next to breadcrumb
• Vast improvements to the posts layouts and postbit

Bug fixes

• Avatar issues, this has all been fixed and is fantastic. We turned the retain avatar dimensions off by default, but you should check this feature out. Those that want full size avatars can do so without any template edits
• Center logo bug where you could not have it all the time centered has been fixed, you enter 100% now.
• Firefox and IE footer blocks now stack properly, this has never been reported to us strangely enough but they now stack wonderfully like they do on chrome.
• Prefix border fixed

Thanks a lot we hope you enjoy this version and look towards the future for more great releases from Audentio Design!

Thanks,
Mike

Hey all,

Just wanted to update for 1.4 beta so you guys can get a head start, but the 1.3.5.0 version should work just fine as well.

Improvements:

• Center logo is turned into a number or width value, so that you can choose to center the logo at a certain viewport size. So if you normally centered your logo be sure to check out the UI.X Logo style property group and change the value to 100% for it to center all the time
• You can now choose at what size the logo block advertisement falls under the logo, great for putting advertisements in the header and keeping it responsive.
• General layout improvements with margins
• Upcoming versions of chrome that have changed the way negative margins work now have been supported and fixed for future versions of webkit and chrome
• Dropdown arrows on the navigation can only work on hover now if you choose to. You can also put it back the way it was, there are 3 different ways to handle it now. Always show arrow, never show arrow, and only show arrow on hover
• Collapse sidebar link removed on tablet views and under (whenever the sidebar drops under, to be more precise. Cleans up room for mobile users in the breadcrumb.
• Full size avatars now work in the postbit

Bug fixes:

• The issue where advertisement javascript was showing has been fixed (sorry about that! at least the ad still worked)
• You can now disable sidebar advertisement wrappers if your ads are slightly off (this is turned on by default now)
• Toggle centered advertisements has been added in case you don't want your advertisements centered (for whatever reason that might be)

Planned features for the 1.4 official release:

• Online status indicator as icon
• Consolidate postbit controls into a drop-down menu
• If you have suggestions, please feel free to let us know!

Keep in mind that this is for a beta version of XenForo, but since our team at XenForo does such a good job we decided to do an official release for a beta version. We do not plan to always do this, but its for a major release so hey why not! There was very little we had to actually upgrade!

Thanks,
Mike

Hi all!

Aside from the very minor upgrade needed for 1.3.5 (the login helper template), we've made some minor improvements to UI.X. Mostly bug related, but there are some layout improvements that we made so that all advertisement positions now position nicely. We even added some settings to show you how and where to edit the template to add your banner into the theme!

Improvements and bugs:

• general improvements to the layout (margins and paddings are consistent)
• mobile improvements with layouts
• all advertisement positions now supported
• spam button now has an icon
• posbit button style (postbits as buttons vs as links)you can now disable
• posbit layout fixes
• sticky nav can now be called on load (if you remove all space from top of nav)
• you can remove whitespace on header elements (logoblock, userbar, navigation, etc.) and it is manually removed on mobile by default
• Pinterest icon is fixed
• DeviantArt FontAwesome icon now being pulled (since they just added it)

Please note: Custom themes should specifically revert the margins on: @sidebar, @uix_welcomeBlock, @breadBox, content, @footer

If you have issues with your custom theme (since minor layout changes have been made) please make a post in the thread and we will fix your issue (or create a ticket)

Thank you!
Mike
