Back End / AdminCP Changes
Announcements
This feature has been removed. Over time, this functionality has been superseded by the Notices feature. Instead of having duplicate systems for Notices to the end user, the Announcement functionality has been removed. The upgrade process will convert active Announcements to Notices. Notices offer the same options that Announcements previously provided. Notice criteria will allow you to continue showing Notices in specific forums, timed, use HTML or BBCode, and provide additional display options.Style Scheduling
This new feature can be found in the AdminCP under Styles -> Style Schedules. Using Style Schedules will allow site administrators to highlight different events on your site, whether they are holidays, community birthdays, or sporting events.When setting the schedule, the style selection will always start at midnight on the start date and end at 11:59 pm on the end date.
Style Variables
New Style Variables allow you to format the post footer controls. These are listed in the Posts & Content style variable ground. The style variables added are:- post_controls_font, post_controls_divider_color, post_controls_quote_active_text_color, post_controls_text_color, post_controls_votes_border.
[HR=3][/HR]Note: Changing the post_controls_text_color variable will change non-reaction post control icons to the same color.
