ChangeLog
1.0
- 31-Oct-11/Initial release.
1.1
- 10-Jan-12/The URL is computed automatically from the file location, but this did not work for subdomains, such as http://myforum.myweb.com . Added a new forum phpBB Forum URL to override the computed value, it can be used as needed. In other words, for most installations you can just leave this blank but if you do use it make sure it is the correct URL for your forum.
1.11
- 11-Jan-12/Updated the readme only.
1.2
- 22-May-12/phpbb_topics_portal_Guts.php
Added a line after making the DB connection to put the connection in UTF8 mode (so other character sets are shown correctly)
Added back somehow deleted constant sqldb_MAX_READS.
Also defaulted the exclude list array to -1 if ommitted to avoid error messages and allow for no excludes.
