XenForo 2.0 Discussion

[Steve F]

How long did it take to delete every single line of XF 1.5?

Well they created a new folder (src) then deleted the library folder, so in a blink XF 1.5 was no more.

 

[Bionic Rooster]

I thought they burned all the tapes

@Chris D @Brogan
What is the difference between xenforo 1.5 and xenforo 2.0 in programming ???
This question is because I want to know why addon XF 1.5 not working on XF 2.0 ??

LOL

Oh, no, we literally deleted each line of code, line by line. Why do you think it took so long?

I prefer backspace over delete

 

[Kevin]

Why do you think it took so long?

Because you guys kept having to buy new monitors every time you used 'whiteout' to get rid of the 1.5 code?

Just to give a thumbs up on the "What's New" top nav link - good to get all those links together in the subnav.

I suspect you constructed some nifty device to help with the backspace?

There's a developer preview available now, or a public beta coming soon. Unless you're a developer it's recommended you wait for the public beta. The public beta and the stable XF 2.0 release will be available to anyone with an active license.

Thanks. If I buy a current licence will I get the 2.0 as a free update?

Great work by the way, can't wait for this to drop

yes

I'm loving the look and feel of Xenforo 2.0! Glad i moved back to XF yesterday! Already have a somewhat active community under it.

Version 2 looks phenomenal and I hope all the add-ons I use will be updated accordingly.

But... you weren’t working on XF when 2.0 was started, so you wouldn’t have had to delete any 1.5 code...

 

[Liam W]

Wait, it’s been almost 3 years since you started working for XF @Chris D? Where does the time go?

They saved that job for Chris to do as the 'new guy' in the company, asking him to delete it a character at a time for 'special security reasons'. Then they sent him to the small, dark stock cupboard to get some tartan paint and a sky hook...

Looking good, didnt even notice it was running XF2 when I visited this morning (altho lack of sleep may be somewhat to blame )

Only one thing I was a bit surprised about. That you're still supporting PHP 5.4. It's worth noting that if you're still on PHP 5.X you really shouldn't be. Disappointed that you're not taking advantage of some of the PHP 7 features but hopefully you'll be able to get back up to a position of prominence pretty quickly

Re: emoji support...

It will be a separate process and optional. We will provide the means to do it if you want to.

Is a method ready for this yet? I want to try this on our test database. Searched around but did not see a specific thread about it as of yet.

 

[Chris D]

From your XF root in the shell:

php cmd.php xf:convert-utf8mb4

 

[Kirby]

In simple terms every single line of code in XF 1.5 has been deleted and we started again.

That does not seem to be fully true.

XF 1.5 index.php line 1:

<?php

XF 2.0 index.php line 1:

<?php

 

[Sandman RSS Feed]

That does not seem to be fully true.

XF 1.5 index.php line 1:

<?php

XF 2.0 index.php line 1:

<?php

Well they could have deleted it and wrote it again.

Ah. Doing unnecessary work. That's why it took so long
