I have to admit that I do not really like how the current version of EasyBlog 1.8 works with the existing media or image manager. It was pretty simple to use but it was a hassle when I was trying to manipulate existing images. Based on the feedback's we have received, there seems to be a hassle for users trying to upload images into their own repository.
Hence, in EasyBlog 2.0 we have performed a major overhaul on our existing image manager allowing easy management for your site bloggers.
We have just released a beta for EasyBlog 2.0 and we would like to invite all of our subscribers to give it a try. This will be one of our major releases since the initial release of EasyBlog 1.0 which we released back then. Some of the major changes would also include the language file structure and themes structure where we have actually done some major house keeping on it.
If you are upgrading, please take note that the theme architecture has been modified and the changes you did in the previous version might not work in this release.
Joomla! had recently released Joomla 1.6.2 which breaks small parts of the back end section of EasyBlog where they are no longer loading the core mootools library on pages that doesn't use them. We have uploaded a new version which will fix these issues but if you are not affected by this, you can just discard this update.
Stay tune for the next post on some teaser for EasyBlog 2.0
