We have released beta 3 to the beta testers with a few new features. Here is an explanation on them and a preview for non-beta testers:

Direct Links

New in v2.0.0 Beta 3 is the ability to directly link to any tab or module. Now, when you edit or add a tab or module, you are given a new option: varname. This varname should be simple and short as the URLs will look like this:

http://www.smnlikdat.org/forum.php?varname=tabbed

That URL will take you to the tab this is defined with the varname "tabbed" (which would be the tabbed scripts tab here).

Modules have the same set up.

Note: The upgrade will create default varnames as tID for tabs and mID for modules. Then it will combine the two tables and create a single table for tabs and modules. So only tID will now correspond to the ID for tabs and modules.

Tab Positioning

With Beta 3, you can now specify a 'display order' for you tabs. The product will rearrange your tabs based on this display order. Display order combines both tabs and modules.

Module Description

Any module author can release modules with a description now (Module ImpEx supports the export and import of descriptions).

ACP Improvements

The ACP has been improved to redirect you after any action in the ACP to the appropriate place. This means you no longer have to click in the left hand navigation to go back to the tabs or modules index page.

Beta testers can play with this release now, but if you aren't a beta tester, there are a few slots left open, so please PM me, Bree, of Bob to gain access.
