Downloads: Pligg CMS 1.2.1

Pligg CMS Version 1.2.1
The 1.2.1 version of Pligg CMS addresses a number of bugs that have been reported since the 1.2.0 release. Some of the more notable enhancements are improved SEO URLs and the ability to post stories to multiple categories. There are no known security issues being addressed in this release, so it is not seen as highly critical. Some of the bugs fixed from the previous version (like the password reset email) make this a recommended upgrade.

New Features and Fixes

1. Users can now select multiple categories during story submission. This feature can be turned on or off from the admin panel configuration area.
2. Fix for password reset email being blank.
3. Pligg now stores old URLs in database to allow for URL forwarding when a story title changes.
4. Fix for related stories. Now returns only upcoming or published stories.

The upgrade process from the previous 1.2.0 release is very simple. Just copy the new 1.2.1 files over the previous 1.2.0 files, overwriting the older files. When that completes run the upgrade script from /install/upgrade.php to update your Pligg CMS version number (and perform other upgrade tasks) to complete the upgrade process.You may want to double check your language file after upgrading to make sure that the final line on it shows the following:

Code:
