2010-08-11 : Website Template Updated : v2.15.0

Enhancements

Pages that have been numerically sorted can now be requested without their number prefix. This applies to sub-pages too! Because of this, the category and page lists have their sorting numbers removed when linking too.
Added the facility to display a Google site verification tag in the page meta data.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

$my_google_site_verification_code

Bug Fixes

None.

See the downloads page.

2010-03-30 : Website Template Updated : v2.14.1

Enhancements

None.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

None.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug in the atom and rss feed validators: I'd changed the value of a variable for displaying the social bookmarks, but forgot it was used else where in the code. Thanks to Bruce Levick for spotting another bug!

See the downloads page.

2010-03-25 : Website Template Updated : v2.14.0

Enhancements

Any users upgrading may want to update their style sheets, although only if they wish to take advantage - see enhancement 1.

Added more <div>s to the style sheet to allow the category headings and all related pages to be played with as a block. Also one for the search.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

None.

Bug Fixes

Added a Windows bug work-a-round to get e-mail to send when running on a Windows server (Contact.php and Survey.php).
Not really a bug, but by default, the example e-mail re-direct is now commented out since some users still can't RTFM!
The meta tag in the page header now only displays the year once if the copyright start and current year are the same (did a similar fix for the page footer back in v2.10.0.
Fixed the social bookmarks that weren't passing specific page parameters to the bookmarking site - although it will still come down to the actual bookmarking site whether it considers the extra parameters to be junk.

See the downloads page.

2010-03-04 : Website Template Updated : v2.13.1

Enhancements

Any users upgrading will have to update their style sheets as the <hr> tag has been moved - see enhancement 1.

Moved the <hr> style tag from <photo_albums.css> into all of the individual style sheets allowing it to be customised on a style basis.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

None.

Bug Fixes

The search function now checks whether the News feed is present before attempting to search through it (thanks to Jim Leach for finding this).

See the downloads page.

2010-02-19 : Website Template Updated : v2.13.0

Enhancements

Added social bookmarking icons that appear on each page.
Added the default_timezone since PHP >= 5.1 wants this for any time function calls.
Added the ability to hide the website title on the page - usefull if you have the name already on the background image.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

$my_timezone
$my_enable_social_bookmarking
$my_main_title_hide

Bug Fixes

Stopped a filemtime call on Home.html if it did not exist under the condition of there being a Home.php, News.php and a valid news feed.

See the downloads page.

2010-01-23 : Website Template Updated : v2.12.0

Enhancements

Added last access date / time to the Website Stats page
Enhanced the "Contact" page to allow a fixed subject matter and name to be passed into the page. Very useful if you want to re-direct a message to a particular address as this function goes by the subject line.
Added the facility to have simple text files as pages.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

None.

Bug Fixes

None.

See the downloads page.

2009-12-03 : Website Template Updated : v2.11.0

Enhancements

Added a simple photo album viewer which scans a specified directory and displays all photos. Each "album" requires a PHP file to point to it and define photo titles / comments. See example in template.
Added a simple search which searches all pages / news feeds (not hidden pages though - there must be a reason that they are hidden!). Note that this is purely a text match. New variable must be added to <setup.php> to enable this feature.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

$my_enable_search
$my_extra_style_sheet[] (now used by default, not commented out)

Bug Fixes

Discovered that PHP v4 doesn't like strrpos with a "needle" being more than one character. So, "Latest Updates" and "Website Stats" didn't show any files ending in html (this was code introduced to look for link files).

See the downloads page.

2009-11-04 : Website Template Updated : v2.10.2

Oh no! A second bug release in a week. Mind you ... I knew about this last week, but forgot to fix it - D'Oh!

Enhancements

None.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

None.

Bug Fixes

Didn't check the top of the page when I tested the code to hide the copyright information: the name was being displayed at the top of the actual page since the header got slightly corrupted due to having a missing meta open tag.

See the downloads page.

2009-11-01 : Website Template Updated : v2.10.1

Enhancements

None.

New Setup Variables (see <setup-sample.php> for details)

None.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a couple of bugs on "Latest Updates" and "Website Stats" pages that crept in after the link files were added in version 2.10.0. Basically they are non-existant pages, so should not be shown.

See the downloads page.

2009-10-22 : Website Template Updated : v2.10.0

Enhancements

Added a new page called "Website Stats" which shows latest update times and page counter hits, with a grand total at the bottom. Displays pages images and news.
Added the facility to have external website links appear as category headings or under category headings and not just in the website lists. These will open in the same window as it's anticipated that they will be for sites on the same server but outwith this software's control.
Allows copyright information to not be displayed by commenting the variable $my_copyright_start in <setup.php>
