3.0-Beta.4
Pre-release
Here is the 4. beta version of Admidio 3.0. We have done a lot of bugfixes since Beta 3, so we decided to release a new Beta.
As before please try to install this beta to your local server or try to update a TEST environment of your Admidio installation. Please have a look at our update documentation from version 2 to version 3. We have done some bugfixes to the installation/update process and it would be nice of some others can test this.
And of course many thanks to all of you who help us to get a stable version 3.0 of Admidio. Due to the integration of Bootstrap we have rewritten more than 90% of the Admidio output and this is one of the reasons why you will find so many bugs. There was never a version before where we changed so much.
Some of the major enhancements:
Bootstrap integration
This is the main enhancement in this release. We have fully integrated the Bootstrap framework. Therefore all Html and CSS have been rewritten.
- easier customizing of your individual theme
- mobile layout for better integration on smartphones and pads
- modern flexible html and css layout
New Message module
Admidio contains a new module which could be used to send emails, private messages or use a simple chat module.
- emails could be send to multiple users or roles
- private messages could be send to other registered users
- a simple chat module is integrated
- emails and private messages will be saved in database
Advanced update and installation script
We have improved the installation and update prozess to make it easier and less error-prone for users to install or update Admidio.
- no separate installation folder adm_install that must be removed after installation/update. You can just update your installation and work with it.
- Configuration file will be created and saved automatically through installation prozess
- Update could be continued if it there was an error and the error could be solved.
More flexible lists and tables
We have integrated a new plugin for tables. With this plugin there are now several new features for every table / list in Admidio.
- Full text search in every table
- Sort the table after values of one or more columns ascending or descending
- Select number of records you want to see with a flexible page navigation
By the way we have new requirements for the server software. Admidio 3.0 needs the following software versions (or higher)
PHP 5.3.7 (before 5.2.0)
MySQL 5.0.3 (before 4.1.1)
Html 5
Flash not required anymore ☺
A detailed list of all changes can be found here.

Please remember that this is a Beta-Version that is not intended for a productive enviroment. It could contain errors and could lead to data loss!
If you don’t have a local test area then you can use our playground to have a look at the new version. But remember that there are several people who could change settings or add and remove data.
Comments, enhancements or bugs could reported in our betatest forum. Please report every bug in a separate thread, so it’s easier for us to keep the overview.
