We are pleased to announce the release of Geeklog v2.2.1. This release is the recommended version for production sites.

This release contains many new features, improvements, and bug fixes. The major ones include:

  • [Feature] Geeklog now uses PHP built in support for sessions.
  • [Feature] Structured Data directly integrated into Geeklog along with plugin support. Includes initial support for Breadcrumbs, Articles, and Static Pages.
  • [Feature] For users without a photo you can now automatically generate user image/icon/avatar from Username.
  • [Feature] A configurable Likes and Dislikes system that also supports plugins.
  • [Feature] A switch to RichFileManager since the original Filemanager is depreciated (and has been removed).
  • [Feature] Can create a News specific XML Sitemap for Google News Publishers
  • [Feature] Convert any remote account to local account.
  • [Feature] EU Cookie Consent added to all themes.
  • [Feature] Staticpages Plugin template and PHP pages now support Geeklog Search.

  • [Improvement] Multiple Geeklog Install Package improvements.
  • [Improvement] The Denim, and Denim_Three themes now display user photos with comments.
  • [Bug] Fixed saving of permissions for users when you have security groups within security groups.
  • [Bug] Fix for Duplicate Usernames & Usernames with Trailing Spaces.
  • [Bug] Fixed Geeklog User Group Assignments which were not correct on new installs.

Note: Make sure your 3rd party Geeklog plugins are updated to the latest version as they are required to use the function COM_createHTMLDocument. This replaces the functions COM_siteHeader and COM_siteFooter. If you are unsure if a plugin supports Geeklog v2.2.0 then from the Geeklog Plugin Admin page either disable it before the Geeklog Upgrade, or uninstall the plugin.
