uddeIM 1.0 is one week old and - thank goodness - no major bugs have been found except a small problem with the Autocompleter which is already fixed and also in the current download package.

So it is time to start work with uddeIM 1.1

A first "technology preview" can be gathered from the trunk on Joomlacode.org. This code is experimental and should not be used on productive sites (maybe on small sites for testing purpose). It requires a small database modification (some more will follow) and it is not fully tested. But maybe you want to try these new features.


Currently I have no release date for uddeIM 1.1 but it will definitely not in Q1.


Features which are already implemented (or I am working on) are:

1.) Public frontend implemented, so unregistered users can send messages to registered users.
2.) Captcha spam protection for public user frontend (optional).
3.) Captcha spam protection for registered users (optional).
4.) The full editor (with smiley support etc.) is available when messages are recalled.
5.) Registered users can choose in their settings if public users are allowed to send messages
or not.
6.) "Show userlist" can be set for Public frontend.
7.) You can hide certain groups to be listed in "All users" list (Admins will always see the
complete list).
8.) You can hide certain groups to be listed in public "All users" list.
9.) "Forward message" available in outbox.
10.) Messages to certain groups can be blocked for registered users.
11.) Recipients which are on a users connection list can be unblocked.
12.) Avatars from the CB avatar gallery are displayed (when enabled).
13.) Browser check reordered.
14.) Alt and Title tags for read/unread/online/offline status.
15.) Captcha length can be configured.
16.) mod_uddeim redirects to "Enter password" page when message is encrypted.
17.) Double sefRelToAbs in mod_uddeim fixed.
18.) Workaround for wrong encoded characters in CB connection messages when sent over
plug_pms_uddeim plugin. Note: Language files should not use hmtl entities, so you should check
CBs language file first when you have problems with messages created by the Community Builder.
19.) Obfuscating can be configured in plug_pms_uddeim (it does not longer use the component setting).
20.) Problem with Autocompleter on J!1.5 installations fixed.
21.) Fixed a small bug in bbparser which matches sometimes two links instead of one.
22.) Contact lists can be entered in recipients field using "#listname".
23.) Contact lists can be enabled for all registered users, for special users or for admins only.
24.) Contacts and CB connections can be chosen from the same combo box.
25.) Captcha works in Joomla 1.5.
26.) Systemmessages are protected by Captcha code.
27.) Encryption has not worked with systemmessages (they were always obfuscated).
28.) The height of the "More" smileys window is now calculated using the number of smileys found.
29.) Backend toolbar improved.
30.) Version update check in backend.
31.) Minor bugfixes in mod_uddeim and mod_uddeim_mailbox (sefRelToAbs).
32.) Public users can enter their username and email.
33.) Click on email address in full message view (PM from public user only) opens
the email client.
34.) You can specify after how many seconds a user is allowed to send the next message (flood protection).
35.) Realname/Username can be chosen for public frontend.
36.) Bugfix: Reply-To line in email notifications contains the correct email address
37.) You can reply to messages from public users.
38.) Default charset for messages is UTF-8 on Joomla 1.5 sites.
39.) Enable/Disable "Allow replies to messages from public users" in backend.
40.) Forwarding of messages in outbox works when receiver has already trashed the message.
41.) You cannot reply to archived messages (you have to unarchive these messages before writing a reply).
42.) Bugfix: Trashdays in backend can be a decimal number in Joomla 1.0 (worked in J1.5)
43.) Removed "noir" and "monoblue" from the standard templates delivered with uddeIM to save some space
in the archive.
44.) Protection against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
45.) Hide certain user IDs from the (public) "All users" list.
46.) pms_uddeim plugin checks blocking (quick message box is not shown when user is blocked)
47.) Access to trashcan can be restricted to certain usergroups.
48.) Several CSS and XHTML fixes.
