You cannot install the 1.0 alpha on a site with Ninjaboard 0.5 running.

We're working on a migration script that'll be finished the next coming days. Until then please testdrive Ninjaboard on vanilla installs.

Also, this release is feature incomplete, so if anything is missing. It's likely on the way

We're very excited about this release, and we have an upcoming blogpost early tomorrow that will fill you in on what's new in 1.0.

It's 3am in the morning here, so I'm exhausted

But here's the zip, now go test it and tell us what you think

UPDATED: Alpha2 now ready. New permissions system, lots of bugfixes.

I was about to come complain about it not being out yet! I'll be installing it right away!

EDIT: BUG: Just installed and I can't make a menu item that links to a specific board. I have the option, but when I click the menu item on the front end, it just takes me to index.php. This is the feature that I wanted to upgrade for. Just my luck Everything else looks fantastic and clean though.

EDIT 2: Actually, the front end does not work at all.

Most likely it's the acl that's configured too strict.
Since the acl user groups in NB is user defined, we're still working on a way that allow us to make the preset configurations smarter.

Easiest way to find that out is if you login on the frontend with your super admin account, and see if it works then

Thanks for the reply, but no joy.

Is there an ETA for a new version (beta or otherwise)? As you can tell I am very anxious for it XD

Tomorrow
Not beta, but Alpha2.

Cool I'll test this locally. If it's good and you can pull together a ~stable/RC in the next month or two it might become the forum of choice for a high-profile professional Joomla web developers' site re-launching soon.

EDIT: is there somewhere we should report bugs/ TODO's?

When I went to Joomla's config:

Code:

Fatal error: Class 'KRequest' not found in /var/www/html/ninja/plugins/system/ninja.php on line 46

Change to

Code:

$name = str_replace('com_','',JRequest::getCMD('option');?

Hehe, now it goes without saying that the more people using Ninjaboard, the better
We currently don't have an estimate for RC, other than the original plan of following the Nooku Framework roadmap.

So while Ninjaboard might grow stable before Nooku fw does (we're using 0.7, which is scheduled for Q1 2010), but we wont call it RC or stable before Nooku fw is.

So since it's still feature incomplete, if there's any specific feature that's important to you, don't hesitate to tell us all about it!
It might make it into this release

Thank you very much for your input.

Good point, indeed. Since the mysqli driver is fully backwards compatible to the mysql driver, I will do some testing if it does make sense to automatically enable it on installation.

I will then give my feedback to Stian and the Koowa list.
