Today, the team at Twitter is shutting down their basic authentication service. For all you active tweeters, this is a good thing. Third party services will stop asking for your login information. You will finally be able to change your password in a single place. And you can put a definitive, one click, end to enthusiastic spamming on your behalf. I for one, welcome that change.
We’ve updated the Twitter Timeline plugin so it works seamlessly with Twitter’s new requirements and...
More than 2 years ago I released my first screencasts for learning ExpressionEngine. This week I released the brand new ExpressionEngine 2 Screencasts.
Over 8 episodes you watch, learn and follow along as we build a basic EE website step-by-step. Think of them as boot camp for ExpressionEngine. They get you up and running and ready to tackle your first EE site. We...
Many of our community members are submitting panels for SXSW this coming year. Having never been to SXSW, (What?! It’s true. I know. I hear it’s fabulous And.All.That.) I’m hoping to make it this coming year to see first-hand the chaos and splendid educational discussions that occur there.
Seeing the panels come up on Twitter, connected with a “go vote for this!” gave me an idea: Why not promote our community member’s panels here in our forums? I’ve heard so many of you...
Last week’s build release, 20100805, introduced a bug that in some circumstances could result in guests being recognized as a logged in member. We were able to identify and correct it quickly, and no database changes are involved. For that reason, we’ve released this as a simple build update rather than incrementing the version. If you downloaded and installed ExpressionEngine 2.1.0 between Friday the 6th and the morning of Tuesday the 10th, you should re-download and follow the...
Today we are introducing two new changes to our Community Forums to help people find new add-ons and to ensure that people have a better support experience with third party add-ons.
First, we are changing the “Site Introduction” forum to the Community News forum. In this forum you can announce your new ExpressionEngine powered site, add-on, or other related product or service. Additionally we have a program in development that will enable developers to reach the Community through...
We are very excited to announce the release of ExpressionEngine 2.1. This version marks the end of the public beta period. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the literally thousands of people who participated in the public beta. Your contribution was invaluable in helping improve and finalize the application. Thank you!
Important! If you are using Third Party Add-ons, make sure they are compatible with ExpressionEngine 2.1 before you update, otherwise your site may break.
I wanted to make a quick broadcast to third party developers about a potential issue in the upcoming ExpressionEngine 2.1 release with your add-ons, depending on how you were building file paths with CodeIgniter. If affected, your add-ons will break in ExpressionEngine 2.1, so it is very important for users of your add-ons to have updated code prior to its launch. If you have been building your file paths with PATH_THIRD or APPPATH*, you should not be affected.
