You can get the archive of this new version on my digests page or download it from GitHub. Installation instructions are on the digests topic on phpbb.com.
It’s hard to describe the changes from 3.0.6-RC5 except there were many. In terms of new functionality, there is only one and somewhat obscure new feature. The ACP General setting page includes a new control: Maximum hours for mailer to process. It turns out that if things get fouled up so that the mailer stops that when it next runs the queue will be so large that the program will crash. Setting this control minimizes the likelihood of this happening on shared hosting.
There is one known bug in this release but it’s pretty obscure. It happens if you install the digests extension on phpBB 3.1.10 and the migrator finds in your database subscribers from an installation of the phpBB digests mod from phpBB 3.0. The migrator should handle this so you don’t lose any subscribers when you upgrade. The error does not occur if you use phpBB 3.1.9. For this reason this version of the extension supports phpBB 3.1.9 and higher. It’s likely that this problem is a result of changes to phpBB’s migrator introduced in phpBB 3.1.10. Hopefully when 3.1.11 is released this issue will go away.
I have gotten a lot of help with this release. VSE, an extension developer, substantially rewrote the migration programs so they would pass a review from the extensions review team.
In terms of backend stuff, some of the work includes moving most of the Javascript to use jQuery, which was quite a learning experience because the forms are very complex, particularly in Edit Subscribers. The digests cache area has been moved again. Files will appear in cache/phpbbservices/digests when you select this option with the manual mailer.
There has also been a lot of work to improve my coding techniques, principally to get away from use of global variables in the ACP and UCP modules and to use phpBB’s containers instead.
The one critical bug noted in this post has been fixed.
Overall, a lot of the code has been changed from the last version, but for the better. If you notice issues, post them to the digests topic on phpbb.com.
Is this in the ACP or UCP? It sounds like the ACP.
I have not experience this with my testing.
My guess is you had the mod installed for phpBB 3.0 and upgraded. Perhaps it left dead modules in the modules table.
You can manually install the modules if necessary: ACP > System > Module Management > Administration Control Panel > Extensions. There should be the Digests category there. If not it can be added. I sent an email with pictures of what would go in each field.
If others are having this issue let me know.
Hi I have attempted to install rc 3.0.7 to a phpbb installation 3.1.9 and I while setting it in place and enabling it seems to work just fine, I never see any of it’s associated tabs in the left navigation under the general tab. There is actually no indication that it all installs other than being able to see the enabled mod in my customization settings with the associated information. I have searched other forums and don’t see anyone having a similar type problem nor have I seen you talk about this scenario in any of your posts. Might there be any guidance on this one. I’ve tried the previous version of the Digest mod rc 3.0.5 and the same thing happens. My forum is behaving perfectly in every other respect.
