UBB.threads 7.7.5 Changelog
Version 7.7.5 brings a new responsive layout to your gallery forums, and a new image viewer for attached images. YouTube URLs are now automatically inlined without the need to wrap them in BBCode. Just paste the video's address where you want it to display within in your post. This version contains added features, updates, maintenance items, and fixes. It has been tested to be compatible with php 5.4 - php 7.4.

Primary Changes In This Release

New image viewer for galleries and image attachments.
Direct to-image-linking and sharing.
Auto YouTube Video Embedding using just its URL.
New responsive image gallery albums.
Improved Likes behavior and reporting pages.
Improved emailing from CP batch and direct emails.
Inline-Code code is new for BBCode.
Fixed "multiple-Like" bug.
Added rebuilders for Likes.
Updated UBBT77 and UBBT77-Dark styles.
Added more friendly URL formatting (SEO) to the URLs.
Updated most all libraries and assets.
Cleanup of UBB scripts, templates, and CSS files.
More bug squashing and layout updates.



Summary of Changes
### Added
- Image viewer for galleries and image attachments has been updated to provide multiple new features.
Briefly, here is what this update provides:

Now supports touch and swipe navigation on touchscreen devices, as well as mouse drag, mouse scroll-wheel, and keyboard navigation for desktops. This allows users to navigate between slides by either swipe or mouse drag.
Now allows double-clicking on the image to see its actual size. Zoom-in and zoom-out controls can be used for changing the zoom values of the image.
Now allows you to share your images/videos to Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest with unique URL.
Now displays a carousel of thumbnails when multiple images are in the gallery group.



- Auto YouTube Video Embedding using just its URL.

Forum users can now do YouTube videos in-line with their post by using any youtube.com URL link, as has become standard now with social media sites. No need for BBCode to display YouTube videos in-line with posts.
Your forum's current custom tags are untouched. They will continue to work as expected. They can be removed or disabled if you choose.
When you remove or disable your custom tag for embedding YouTube videos, the new built-in YouTube display kicks in and will do the job. Doing this will leave your current open/close custom tags within your forum's posts. You can can manually remove those sets with a query string to replace [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ] text if you choose.


Note: If forums have a custom tag for inserting YouTube BBCode Tags, that custom tag will continue to display within the Post Editor's "Insert Media Tag" menu. As of UBB.threads 7.7.5, you no longer need to insert media tags for the inline display of YouTube videos. The processing is all built in and automatic, just like the processing of URLs. Magic URLs now handles YouTube URLs.

- Added Inline Code to BBCode. Inline code formatting is used to emphasize a small command or piece of syntax within a line you are writing. It is accessed either by [ c ]...text...[ /c ] or in the standard editor code drop-down ("#"). This new BBCode puts the contained bits in between the HTML, and is styled with the .bbcode CSS class. Properties for the inline code container style is at Control Panel > Styles > Edit or Add a Style > UBBCode Properties.
- Private Message/Topics participants are no longer hidden behind a drop-down menu. The current participants are now displayed above the OP.
- Added Control Panel config setting for allowing users to Like posts in locked threads.
- Added "Community Slogan" which will appear with your forum Community Title in emails and other key locations. This is configured within Control Panel > General.
- CP: Prune any duplicate post likes originating from a single user id. This action can be done from within the Content Rebuilder.
- CP: Force the use of larger MySQL data chunks in legacy web server environments (older PHP versions) when pruning or rebuilding content. This option is not available when using a modern PHP version. This is configured within Control Panel > Paths & Database > Database: Force Database Big Limits)
- CP: Admin Logs for Batch Member actions are now more detailed. The full SQL command is logged, along with either "Selected Members in Search" or "All Members in Search."
- New JustifiedGallery asset version 3.8.1.
- New LightGallery asset version 1.9.0.
