XF 2.1 Welcome to XenForo 2.1 / Assorted improvements

Welcome to XenForo 2.1!

We said there would be something special accompanying the final HYS in this series for XF 2.1, and here it is. This is your first opportunity to help us put the new feature set through its paces.

We also said there would be a number of other miscellaneous changes/improvements to show you, so read on for more

@Chris D It would be nice if you could set a limit on Reactions.

The following will enable Argon2id support if you're using PHP 7.3:

If I enable Argon2id when will the existing users be updated?

When they next use their password to log in.

As stated in other HYS threads, please post new threads for any and alll support queries related to the new functionality.

Hi guys

How stable is 2.1.0 now?

I am really tempted to upgrade my forum, browser notifications is just one of the new fantastic features!

 

[BirdOPrey5]

Been using 2.1.0 for a couple weeks now, seems plenty stable.

 

[Jay™]

Same here been working great...

I went ahead with the upgrade last Wednesday, with a host move 12 hours later. Was chaos!

 

[Jay™]

Host move is easy, all depends who your host is.

Host move is easy, all depends who your host is.

The move of data was easy, but the hardest thing was trying browser explain to members the technical details of how it happens and what happens to there access with DNS...

Re-ordering custom field choices

In XF 2.1 we've added the ability to re-order custom field choices very simply by using drag and drop:

​

For developers, if you wished to implement your own simple draggable lists in your own add-ons then we've made this simple to do with our new sort.js and XF.ListSorter class. For advanced use cases you may wish to use nestable.js or roll something more custom, but for simple cases as demonstrated above, it should be fairly useful.

When will custom field choices be searchable and sortable on the front end?

I am happy with it in my dev and am ready to upgrade. Just trying to work it into my schedule. Had originally planned to upgrade last weekend but my beloved spouse had other ideas.

Just do it, takes minutes

Just do it, takes minutes

Maybe if you're doing 2.0 to 2.1. I am still at 1.5. It doesn't take minutes when you've got two old styles and 4 old add-ons to remove, then install/configure appropriate replacements afterwards. I am also an IS manager IRL so none of that happens until proper backups are taken. And I do believe in giving users fair warning for a major upgrade like this. Point level? Sure I will do those off the cuff. But this is a first level for me so, no.

wow thanks boss.

@Chris D or any other XF team .......
With the exception of up coming bug fixes, what's next for assorted improvements/functionality for XF 2.x.x??

 

[Chris D]

That would be XF 2.2.0 but we don't have anything to report on that right now.

Any hint as to when something will be reported??
