XF 2.2 Welcome to XenForo 2.2 / What's still to come

We've spent the last few weeks talking about the new features in XenForo 2.2. Now, it's your first chance to try some of them out and help us put them through their paces. Welcome to XenForo 2.2!

As you may notice, we have started converting some of our forums to more specific forum types. We've also enabled all general discussion thread types in the testing forum.

What's still to come

While our previous "have you seen" threads have announced most of what's coming in XenForo 2.2, we haven't touched on our official add-ons. There are improvements coming to each of them (beyond getting support for changes we already announced in 2.2), but we're not quite ready to announce these changes yet. Until we do, what you see running here is essentially the same as the 2.1-based version of our add-ons.

Beyond the add-ons, we still have a few more improvements to XenForo 2.2 itself that are still in the oven right now. These include improvements based on feedback we've received from the previous have you seens and some improvements to things we haven't touched on yet.

Keep your eyes peeled! (Disclaimer: please do not actually peel your eyes.)

Next steps

We're now starting the first steps towards releasing XenForo 2.2 by testing it here. So please, if you notice any bugs or problems, report them to us.

Once we finish off the changes we still have in the pipeline and are happy with the stability of 2.2, the first beta will be released to all customers with active licenses. Beta versions are not officially supported and we don't recommend running them on production installs. This is an opportunity for people to test and for resource authors to make the necessary changes to support the new version. From there, we'll continue releasing beta versions until we're ready to move onto the release candidate stage, which essentially means that we believe the version is close to being an officially supported release (but it's not yet!). Finally, and only once we've gone through each of these stages, XenForo 2.2.0 will be released as an officially supported/recommended release... and we can all celebrate!

But in the meantime, we still have work to do!

If you want to see "Member Self Delete" implemented:
Vote for it here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/give-user-an-option-to-self-delete-their-account.2720/

If you want it right now (currently only working up to version 2.1), use this add-on:

[Liam W] (RIP) Member Self Delete

This add-on gives your members the ability to delete their own accounts. You have the option of setting a 'cool down period', during which time access to the board is restricted to a notice that their account is scheduled for deletion - they can...

I also voted. This is important if you are in the EU and i hope that Xenforo will not only focus on non eu customers. I just wish this was part of the core script. Much better.

Same problem i see with the dates in custom fields. Why can't i just fill in a EU style date... Should be easy to fix. (10-10-2010 / 10 october 2020)

We can hope.

Since the company is registered in Great Britain, which was part of the EU until fairly recently, pretty sure there was some thought of the EU at the time the current GDPR related features were implemented. I'm not sure you want to allow members to delete all their posts en masse, if you had that in mind, since doing so also affects all the members who participated in those threads, and would make nonsense of many of them without deleting entire threads; and you can already allow members to simply change their usernames and email addresses, and you can quickly delete their IP logs if you want, or just don't keep any.

Think I saw somewhere that the date thing will be fixed with 2.2....?

The date thing in date fields is just going to be the way it is. For ease of parsing it uses an internationally recognised ISO date format. Alternatively just pick the date from the calendar - that's what it's for.

It seems I have to take a closer look again after a restrained abstinence.

There is a way to convert reactions to upvotes for suggestions.

I wish I knew how, I converted the forum to suggestion but they weren't automatically applied.

Within ACP, edit the forum you've changed to a Suggestion Type (eg. /admin.php?forums/your-forum.123/edit ), scroll down and underneath the input boxes for Implemented|Closed prefixes you'll see the button for 'Convert reactions to votes'.

Hey thanks so much! I thought I saw it somewhere when I was reading things slowly, I missed it every time now when I was speed skimming.
