Stability releases (third part of the version number, also known as “patch releases”) aim to solve existing problems in the current version. Like every stability release, they do not introduce new features. It is strongly recommended to apply these updates.

Security Notice​

Some forms for editing content only took into account whether the accessing user could edit the content, but not whether the content was also accessible to the accessing user. This resulted in moderators or administrators being able to edit content by cleverly manipulating the accessed URL, but they were not able to access it regularly.



The impact of this incorrect permission check was limited to moderators and administrators who had permissions to edit third-party content. Only a few selected forms were affected by this bug. All affected forms are explicitly named in the list of changes without exception.



All installations of WoltLab Cloud customers have already been updated.

How to Apply Updates​

Open your Administration Control Panel and navigate to “Configuration → Packages → List Packages”. Please click on the button “Search for Updates” located in the right corner above the package list.

Notable Changes​

The list below includes only significant changes, minor fixes or typos are generally left out.

WoltLab Suite Blog​

  • Deleting a category now also deletes subscriptions from the database. 5.5

WoltLab Suite Calendar​

  • (SECURITY) Authorized moderators and administrators could edit appointments which were not accessible by them. 5.5 5.4 5.3
  • Recognition for overlapping appointments is now done correctly for all-day appointments. 5.5
  • Inviting users to an appointment no longer causes the time of their own participation decision to be changed. 5.5
  • When removing participants, the entire list of participants was sometimes mistakenly hidden. 5.5

WoltLab Suite Filebase​

  • (SECURITY) Authorized moderators and administrators could edit files that were not accessible by them. 5.5 5.4 5.3
  • Notification about a deleted file no longer causes an error in the RSS feed of notifications. 5.5
  • Deleting a category now also deletes subscriptions from the database. 5.5

WoltLab Suite Forum​

  • (SECURITY) Authorized moderators and administrators could edit posts and threads that were not accessible by them. 5.5 5.4 5.3
  • Editing an “announcement” by a moderator without the permission to create announcements no longer clears the announcement’s forum association. 5.5
  • The creation time of the thread is now correctly adjusted when a disabled “to immediately” thread is active with “update time”. 5.5

WoltLab Suite Gallery​

  • Deleting a category now also deletes the subscriptions from the database. 5.5
  • When delivering images, an error in the HTTP headers was corrected, which could lead to caching of incorrect data in rare cases when changing the image or thumbnail. 5.5

  • Deleting an already deleted image via moderation no longer marks the moderation entry with an error message. Instead, the entry is silently marked as done, and the deletion reason for the image remains on the original reason. 5.5

IV. Update from Burning Board 4.x and older
V. Data transfer from external systems

------------------------------ ----------------------------------

I. System requirements

The following requirements must be met for the installation of WoltLab Suite™:

* PHP-enabled web server (Apache, nginx, lighttpd, Microsoft IIS, etc.)
* PHP 7.2.24+ (PHP 7.4.21+ recommended)
* PHP extensions: ctype, dom, exif, json, hash, libxml, mbstring , pcre, pdo, pdo_mysql, zlib
* PHP extension for image processing GD or ImageMagick (each with WebP support)
* RAM limit ("memory_limit") at least 128MB
* MySQL 5.7.31+ or MariaDB 10.1.44+ with InnoDB support
* approx. 20MB hard disk space for the Basic installation
* An FTP program to load the program files onto the web server/web space

--------------------------------- -------------------------------

II. Installation

preparations 1. Unpack the zip archive onto your hard drive. You will receive the following files:
* upload/test.php
* upload/install.php
* upload/WCFSetup.tar.gz
* License agreement.txt
* Read me.txt
* License agreement.txt
* Read me.txt

Note: The WCFSetup.tar.gz in the upload directory must not be unpacked under any circumstances!

2. Connect to your web server/web space with your FTP program and upload all files from the upload directory to the directory via which WoltLab Suite should later be accessible. You can find out the access data for the FTP in the customer area of your web host.

3. To make sure that the server/webspace meets all the requirements, please call test.php in your web browser next. For example: http://www.example.com/test.php (replace: www.example.com with your own domain name or add any subdirectories http://www.example.com/forum/test.php). If your web space does not meet all the requirements, please contact your web host to clarify whether you can switch to a more powerful package. If you have a dedicated server, please install the missing components yourself.

4. Please have your MySQL access data ready for the rest of the installation. You can find out about this in the customer area of your web host.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------


III. Installation process

Please note that the installation script progresses faster in some areas than others and do not abort the process prematurely! Please do not press the F5 key during the installation or otherwise refresh the browser window.

1. If you have previously successfully checked the requirements with test.php, then you can now click "You can start the installation." Continue. Alternatively, please call install.php directly in your web browser ( http://www.example.com/install.php ). Now follow the instructions of the installation assistant. Please have your MySQL access data ready for the installation.

2. Please follow the instructions of the installation assistant. The installation wizard also checks the web space for mandatory system requirements. If something is not displayed in green here, please contact your web host to find out whether this can still be changed or whether you need a different web host. Installation cannot continue until all conditions are met. Next you will be asked for the installation directory for the CMS and your selected product (app). By default, the main directory in which install.php is located is suggested for the CMS. All other apps are installed in the appropriate subfolders (For the forum, the suggested folder is forum).


-------------------------------------------------- --------------

IV. Updating from Burning Board 4.x and older

A direct update from Burning Board 4.x and older is not possible. You have to reinstall WoltLab Suite in a separate directory and then use the Burning Board Importer to import the data from your old forum.

Note: If you want to make WoltLab Suite accessible from the same URL as your current forum, please copy your old forum to a subdirectory and install WoltLab Suite directly to the correct directory.

For the import of file attachments, avatars and smileys, it is imperative that both forum systems are on the same web space account. If the subdomains are different, the security setting open_basedir denies access to the other subdomain, depending on the server configuration. Thus, the import of file attachments, avatars and smileys is not possible.

1. Install WoltLab Suite and select Importer as an optional package during installation. If WoltLab Suite is already installed without an importer, you can install the package via the package server at any time. After successful installation, go to Administration -> Management -> Maintenance on data import and select the importer for your old forum system.

2. Follow the importer's instructions. Please also remember that the import can take a long time depending on the number of forums, posts and file attachments in your old forum system, but also due to other circumstances. Do not cancel the import prematurely.

Note: After a successful import, you must have the displays updated under Administration -> Management -> Maintenance.


-------------------------------------------------- --------------

V. Data import from external systems (vBulletin, phpBB ...)

The products mentioned above support data import from a large number of external systems. The following systems are currently supported.

* Burning Board 2.3.x, 3.x, 4.x

Note: If you want to make WoltLab Suite accessible via the same URL as your current system, then copy Please put your old system into a subdirectory and install the above products directly into the correct directory.

For the import of file attachments, avatars and smileys it is imperative that both systems are on the same web space account. If the subdomains are different, the security setting open_basedir denies access to the other subdomain, depending on the server configuration. The path must be the absolute server path. It is not possible to specify a URL.

1. Install WoltLab Suite and select Importer as an optional package during installation. If WoltLab Suite is already installed without an importer, you can install the package via the package server at any time. After successful installation, go to Administration -> Management -> Maintenance on data import and select the importer for your old forum system.

2. Follow the importer's instructions. Please also remember that the import can take a long time depending on the number of forums, posts and file attachments in your old forum system, but also due to other circumstances. Do not cancel the import prematurely.

The cooperation between the various apps under the umbrella of the WoltLab Community Framework (WCF) is one of the central qualities and we would like to make this connection clear in the naming. For this reason, our apps will in future be named according to the scheme "WoltLab Suite <Product>" and, if necessary, slightly adapted, so the name of WoltLab Community Framework will simply be "WoltLab Suite Core" in the future. Regardless of the name change, all products will remain available separately in the future; there is no compulsion to purchase several or all of the WoltLab Suite products.


Another obvious change is the version number, this has been raised to version 5.4 and is representative of the great progress we have made. At the same time, the new version number also makes a significant change to the WoltLab Suite Core clear:


So far it was necessary to install at least one app so that there was a page that could be accessed by visitors and users, because WCF itself only provided the technology and the administration interface. From version 5.4, WoltLab Suite Core will have an optional, independent surface and is no longer dependent on apps to provide certain content. With the help of the integrated content management system (CMS) and the article system, it is finally possible to create and maintain the entire website on the basis of our suite - as usual, user-friendly and efficient via a single administration interface.


In the following section we would like to go into more detail on the individual components of WoltLab Suite Core, but first a brief note on the CMS: The use is completely optional and you can freely decide whether you want to use it for your side, you will not suffer any disadvantages if you do without it .



Version 5.4 brings a whole range of technical innovations as well as improvements to the templates and styles. We will provide instructions and information on migration for customers and developers in good time; these will be published as soon as the development of the individual components has progressed sufficiently.



Content Management System (CMS)


The CMS consists of five components, the interaction of which enables the creation and maintenance of an entire website. We will examine each of these components in detail at a later point in time in separate topics, including meaningful screenshots to illustrate how they work. In the following we would like to roughly outline the individual functionalities in order to provide an overview of the innovations.



pages


Over the years, the desire to create and maintain your own pages has been expressed repeatedly, now the time has come to put this wish into practice. It is possible to create static as well as dynamic pages, at the same time the pages are seamlessly integrated into the entire website and cannot be distinguished from "regular" pages for visitors. WoltLab Suite Core 5.4 covers all possible requirements, starting with language-dependent versions including separate links, up to the optional support of template scripting.


Boxing


The dashboard boxes already known from previous versions have been completely revised and their previous restrictions have been removed. The new boxes offer significantly more flexibility, so they can be freely integrated on any page on the basis of placeholders and also have many additional configuration options for individual adaptation. Boxes can be filled with your own text, including optional template scripting, or created on the basis of existing PHP classes. The PHP classes in particular open up many new possibilities for customization, such as creating your own box that displays the last five topics from a specific forum, for example.


The possibilities this opens up become clear on the already familiar dashboard: Instead of using its own PHP class as before, it is now a simple CMS page that only displays boxes instead of text content. Thanks to the box system, this page - like many other pages - can be completely customized, for example by adding your own content or using a second sidebar to create a 3-column layout.


Menus


Content is undoubtedly the most important aspect of a page, but it is only accessible to visitors through good menu navigation. WoltLab Suite Core 5.4 provides all the necessary tools to design the menu according to your own ideas and requirements: All pages can be freely stored in the menus already provided in the top and bottom of the page.


The linking of subpages, for example a certain forum, is very easy and can be implemented in no time. However, it is not just a simple link, because the links set in this way are correctly recognized when called and marked as active. In addition, individual pages also offer the already known number of unread entries; in the case of linked forums, the number of unread topics in this forum is displayed in addition to the title.


In addition, your own menus can be created and inserted freely on the pages in conjunction with the above-mentioned box system; the active marking and the display of unread entries also come into play here.


media


With file attachments, there is already a good and well-engineered way of attaching images or documents, but attachments are always linked to individual content, for example a post, and can therefore only be reused to a limited extent. With WoltLab Suite Core 5.4 there is a separate media management for administrators with the help of which images, documents and other files can be uploaded directly and used within the entire site. It does not matter whether you want to use it in a CMS page or a forum post, uploaded media are available to administrators anytime and anywhere.


In addition, media can be assigned to individual languages and provided with separate captions. This is helpful for finding media that have already been uploaded and, on pages with multilingual content, serves as a simple orientation for selecting the correct language version. Unlike file attachments, media can be uploaded, used, edited and deleted by all administrators.


items


The possibility of creating your own pages already covers a large number of requirements, but there are cases in which a different approach is necessary. Typical use cases are news, a knowledge base or simply an editorially maintained blog. For precisely this purpose, an article system was integrated that is functionally oriented towards the CMS pages, but also offers important components such as comments, categories or tags. In addition, special views can optionally be used, which clearly display articles from a certain category with the help of teasers and images and of course can also be linked directly in menus.




The components listed above will be examined in detail by us at a later date in separate topics, including meaningful screenshots of how they work.

We're pleased to announce the release of the WoltLab Suite 5.3, consisting of the powerful Core package and our 5 modular apps that enrich your site and community.



This version puts great emphasis on consistency and backwards-compatibility, evolving existing features to match the on-going development in expectations and adding more features that tightly integrate into existing sites. We've spend quite a lot of time evaluating every single feature in our software suite, eventually making a lot of small and large changes to both improve your users' experience and to make it easier for you to manage your community. We truly believe that a community is a living thing that is constantly evolving and so should the software, the very foundation of your community.
