Server has only 1GB RAM.

akobookPlus5WithSecurityImages5


BUG: Akobook Fix for Number of Guest Entries and Pages  thanks to user mygeek911

BUG: on some host blank page during install or in some menu has been resolved, it was old code having php code embedded starting with <? ... ?> (PHP4 support both) instead of <?php ... ?> (PHP5 only support this)

BUG: layout bug in all front end page solved, not all view were using 100% of the view

akobookPlus5Layout


NEW

: the installer do not remove or recreate the tables in database if already present. The installer will detect it and propose you to remove or install new table.


NEW: Admin Comments all lowercase...   now you can change this behavior in admin panel
akobookPlus5LowerCaseAdminResponse

NEW: a new menu entry that can check if you are running the latest version of this software
akobookPlus5CheckForLatest  akobookPlus5CheckForLatesthtml

NEW: refactoring but can be considered daily part of the work -> this code is not MVC at all, and has to be turn into a real Joomla! 1.5 extension. I consider anti spamming and security  more important in the TODO list at the moment than making the code MVC.

 

Hurry up any post in this forum http://forums.waltercedric.com/index.php?board=46.0 may enter into that release as well :-)
