v3.0.1

[FIX] Recent Topics pagination prev/next arrows rendered as empty (invisible) buttons — restored the missing Font Awesome chevron icons in rt_pagination.html, RTL-aware to match core pagination (#183)

v3.0.0

Changelog

• 3.0.0 (31/05/2026) — relaunch under avathar/recenttopics namespace, consolidating everything since the avathar fork of paybas/recenttopics

  New features

  • [NEW] Display Recent Topics on viewforum (top/bottom) in addition to the index page (#178)
  • [NEW] Standalone pages: /app.php/rt (full) and /app.php/rt/simple (iframe-embeddable), with a dedicated ACP toggle independent of index display (#155)
  • [NEW] Optional advertisement / HTML block on the index page, with ACP toggle and textarea (#160)
  • [NEW] Postlove integration — like counts in the topic list when avathar/postlove is installed (#162); ACP toggle to enable/disable (#164)
  • [NEW] ACP toggle to show/hide date in side view (#163)
  • [NEW] modify_ads_code event so third-party extensions can inject advertisement content (#175)
  • [NEW] Backward-compat paybas.recenttopics.* event aliases — downstream extensions written against the original fork keep working (#169)
  • [NEW] Forum visibility widened: forums where the user has f_list_topics ("Can see topics") but not f_read now also appear — exposes titles to entice login while content stays gated (#182)
  • [NEW] Slovak (sk) and Swedish (sv) translations; grammar / spelling sweep across all locales
  • [NEW] contrib/cleanup_recenttopics.sql script for removing legacy installs

  Changes

  • [CHG] Renamed namespace from the legacy recenttopicsav to recenttopics — the "av" suffix from the paybas-era fork is no longer needed since the vendor namespace is already avathar
  • [CHG] Migration history squashed to a single release migration; canonical version is now ext::RT_VERSION (class constant), no rt_version row in phpbb_config
  • [CHG] Donate link moved from PayPal to Patreon
  • [CHG] PHP 8.1 and phpBB 3.3.0 minimum enforced via is_enableable() with clear error messages (#171)

  Fixes

  • [FIX] PHP 8.0–8.4 compatibility across the codebase (#142, #148)
  • [FIX] French language files no longer 500 on unescaped apostrophes
  • [FIX] Duplicate ad block render in pbWoW3 — use DEFINE for the ADSIDE flag so it's detectable across template scopes
  • [FIX] Standalone page loads functions_display.php and resolves the template path (#138, #150)
  • [FIX] User registration applies ACP default preferences (#124)
  • [FIX] "Posted in" star icon (S_USER_POSTED) now shows in the topic listing (#133)
  • [FIX] Undefined array key warning in the viewonline listener (#176)
  • [FIX] pbWoW3 top/bottom block: collapse support and column alignment (#139)
  • [FIX] Duplicate collapse buttons in pbWoW3 style
  • [FIX] Empty "Latest version:" line when the version check service is unreachable
  • [FIX] Unclosed <span> in UCP preferences template
  • [FIX] pbTech side-block heading matches the category-bar style
  • [FIX] Default install grants u_rt_view to Administrators and Global moderators in addition to REGISTERED/GUESTS — staff accounts whose primary group is not REGISTERED now see Recent Topics by default
