Hello everyone! We're moving forward with our work on version 6. As promised, some of our work is available now on v5. Here’s a brief write up of some of the recent changes you could take advantage of today. Template Engine Updates Timestamps You can now get direct unix timestamps instead of a formatted time for variables that previously displayed a formatted time tag by adding “.timestamp” to the variable. $[thread.created_on.timestamp] $[post.edited_on.timestamp] $[user.last_online.timestamp]
...among just a few of many. This should allow theme and plugin authors more flexibility when displaying or customizing time display. Mathematical operations You can now compare variables based on a mathematical equation, or compare numbers directly: {if (500 - 100) > 200} text {/if} {if ($[variable1] + $[variable2]) == $[variable3]} text {/if} {if ($[variable1] - $[variable2]) <= $[variable3]} text {/if} {if ($[variable1] + $[variable2]) > $[variable3]} text {/if}
Template Variable Functions We added an easier way to handle variables in our templating engine, with a new and expandable feature. Taking a variable, you can utilize additional functions on top of it: $[variable.(nohtml)] - will change HTML into nohtml (you will see the actual HTML code displayed, rather than rendered). $[variable.(attr_value)] - You will see the value parsed as an attribute value (removes certain symbols that would break attributes) $[variable.(commify)] - Only applicable to numbers, will add commas to a large number as needed. The number 10000 would thus display as 10,000. $[variable.(short_number)] - Only applicable to numbers, will shorten a very large number and abbreviate it. The number 10000 would thus display as 10K. Tapatalk Updates Stickies and announcements now display correctly outside of the regular flow of posts Rename thread is now supported while using the Tapatalk app Uploading avatars is now supported while using the Tapatalk app Added support for blocking users in the Tapatalk app. This will apply all 4 blocks available forum-side to the user you are blocking. Fixed a bug that sometimes displayed the incorrect latest topic.
Version 6: Phoenix We have a few updates coming up very soon, including the ability to use v6 on support and give us your thoughts! After the support forum testing concludes we will be completing any changes and fixing any bugs discovered during the test. After that process is completed, we will be moving onto the beta where the current plan is to allow v6 on your very own forums. We will be providing more info on the beta process in the future, but for trying it out on this Support forum - check back in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the update!
Could you perhaps give an example where $[variable.(attr_value)] would be useful?

First example I can think of would be using a variable as a data attribute: <div data-someValue="$[variable.(attr_value)]">This is a div!</div> That way you can be sure that whatever is in the variable will have the quotes/double quotes escaped. You could then use that value with JS for some other application (plugin, maybe?) to grab it right out of the DOM ( $('div').data('someValue') ).

A little strange, but I think this update might have affected equality checks for strings that contain dashes, or maybe non-alphanumeric characters. For example, this was working earlier today:
{if $[navigation.menu.name] == "Old-School Zone"} And this evening it has stopped working, despite no edits being made.

Odd, shouldn't have affected values at all; I'll make sure that this gets checked (and fixed if necessary) ASAP.

The issue will be resolved with priority and pushed out as soon as possible.

I’m getting more and more worried emails from my board users about the board not offering SSL connection via https which is now being flagged by Chrome and Mozilla as “unsafe”.
Is there any chance at all of getting SSL support with v6?

I have no idea what all this is about so I will sit back and wait for the new V6 to come out, still trying to be patient here.

People have asked PB to be more transparent with their progress so Im presuming this is an acquiescence to that. Like I get that you don’t understand the OP and that’s OK, this update is a bit more on the tech-y side, but if you’re “trying to be patient” I feel like this update should still be a good thing because now you can follow along on the trello board to see what tasks are left with the latest update that has been completed as posted above.
