New support leader

phpFoX has brought in a new product and plug-in support leader.

Patrik Johansson will start looking over the project once version 1.5.1 is released which is scheduled to be released on the 5th of February.

Unlike past versions “official” plug-ins did not have any support by the phpFoX team. With the release of version 1.5.1 I will be working with Patrik to bring in support of the plug-ins I have worked on since the release of version 1.5. These plug-ins include the following:

- php121 IM plug-in supported
- FlashChat plug-in supported
- FoxRSS plug-in supported
- vBulletinSpace plug-in supported
- FoxSEO plug-in supported
- Easy Editor plug-in supported
- MusicMod plug-in supported
- VideoMod plug-in supported

Välkommen Patrik till phpFoX!

phpFoX Theme Center

A new theme center has been added to the phpFoX clients area which will allow clients the opportunity to download themes for their sites.

It will also give an opportunity to those that create themes as well. They will be able to upload their themes and release it to clients for free or for a fee.

Currently we have just added our 29 default themes that have been released to clients for Konsort version 1.5. Over the next few weeks we will be building a large theme center database with our partners Webbizideas.

The theme center can be found at: http://clients.phpfox.com/themes.php

Favicon Converter

Been looking for a good favicon converter for the longest time and finally stumbled across an online converter that has been doing a really great job at converting the images. You can give it a try here.

I’d like to buy Vista please

Thought this was really funny.
