(0 votes, average 0 out of 5)

# Fixed more bugs in JomGenius "Content" object, when retrieving information about sections and categories.

# Fixed bug in JomGenius "Content" object, when retrieving information about sections and categories.

+ added JomGenius support
# fixed bug that sometimes made MetaMod ignore included modules
# changed timezone calculation so that it no longer has to set the TZ environment variable if you’re using PHP5.

+ can now pick up GeoIP.dat files as installed by MetaTemplate, so you no longer have to install/update manually if you are using MetaTemplate
# fixed the CSS inclusion onto the MetaMod module edit page
# made it possible to start the PHP block with “?>” or end it “<?php”
# fixed an issue that prevented MetaMod from disabling/removing other modules via the $changes mechanism. Therefore, $changes->mod(101)->enable(false); ... will now disable module 101 no matter where it is on the page (MetaMod Pro only), or within the current MetaMod (free and Pro versions)
^ changed the URL for more help on the Advanced Debug feature, since site URLs changed.

+ Added Hungarian, German and Portuguese (Brazilian and Portuguese) translations
More information about the 2.x-series of MetaMod

# Reinstated PHP4 compatibility
# When you include modules by module position, they now sort using the correct sort order
# Auto-enabling now works, so you can include modules that are not enabled, and they get automatically enabled and displayed
# Re-ordered some of the module parameters for clarity
+ Complete French language translation, thanks to Laurent Jacquot

# fixed generation of “Page Identification” PHP code when the GET or POST parameters are an array rather than a constant.

+ new system in place for specifying “changes” to the modules that get included by MetaMod. It’s now possible to dynamically change module parameters in these modules.
+ new “Page Identification” mode for Debug. In this mode, PHP code is generated and displayed in the front-end which can precisely identify the page being requested at that moment. This code can serve as a basis for a MetaMod rule that does something special on only that page (e.g. include or exclude a module).
+ it’s now possible to return module position names as well as individual module IDs from your MetaMod rules (and in the Quick Module ID box).
# fixed a bug that made it impossible to use MetaMod to swap out the main menu in Artisteer templates
# made the Module List more funky – columns are sortable, and it’s possible to view disabled as well as enabled modules
+ if you’re using MetaMod Pro, it’s now possible to include modules that are disabled, and they get automatically enabled for you.
^ the entire interface, including debug mode, is now translatable. Awaiting translations from various translators, which will go into future versions.

# you can now turn off module caching in MetaMod, so that the Joomla cache doesn't stop MetaMod from running its rules on every page load.

# made check for front-end language more robust when making rules based on front-end language. The bug was occurring with some versions of Joom!Fish.

# made check for logged-in users to be more robust, when sites are using PROMA for CommunityBuilder, or other extensions that change a user’s “usertype”

+ Added ability for GeoIP to work through Proxy caches (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header)
^ Tidied up documentation and error codes regarding installation of GeoIP databases
# Country, city and region names coming from GeoIP are now UTF-8 compatible

+ Added new constants to use in rules, to simplify date, time and usertype rules. e.g. MM_LOGGED_IN, MM_NOT_LOGGED_IN, MM_USER_AUTHOR, MM_USER_NOT_AUTHOR and many others. Further documentation available.
# fixed timezone handling for start and end module times
^ updated URLs for MaxMind’s GeoLiteCountry and GeoLiteCity databases
+ added even easier way to switch modules on/off for logged-in or non-logged-in users

+ added timezone with daylight saving support for module start/stop times
+ added support for making rules based on browsers’ primary languages
+ added a text box to enter a manual style for included modules (helps manage modules in YooTheme and some other templates)
