it will be good option to make plugin based osdate whole data is very big some things are not needed for some users
keep basic functions and provide else in plugin system that would ease osdate system easy to update some users can update plugins while main team work on osdate  core that would make it better to work with

I will be planing a rebuild of osDate, and will be building a basic core, and then be looking at mods to use a hook system.
So that will hopefully mean once it launched (no date at this time) thiere will be no need to edit the core to add mods/plugins etc...

bdway who owns osdate rights ?? i mean if new site is launched for osdate main downloads will old owners not say not to use their product name ??

I believe Darren Gates own the right of osDate.
It is my understanding that we can do anything with osDate as we want.

any news about osdate new versions

No and no coding hasn't been started yet.
To do a whole rewrite, it going to take time as in weeks and months.

maybe host code on github of version 2
then start base of version 3 there more people will help in making dating script

Version 2 can be got from our download area, at/near the bottom of the forum.

i know its here now days github is best place for open source projects to get builds and many peops help there sourceforge is dying now also github allows to host as many version you want so place version 2 code there then people can post updates there for every file like one working on profile other on inbox better intergrity one person cannot do all things

Hi raj2200,

This is why this forum is here, you and others can post patchs and bug fixes that will be put into version 2.
We have no plans to host it on github at all sorry to say.

As Pharg says this site will be the place for bug fixes and updates. Using sourceforge or git hub just adds coding that in many cases fixes one thing and creates others.

Best maybe next year is the Admins here can set up user groups so those that want to help can help in a private area and those that want to test can be in another user group. This would leave the main forum alone and progress can be made in other areas of the forum with different groups.

Hi scvoyager,

Yes I agree about the user groups, just getting people to do this sometimes is a mission 

Pharg on thing is remember the words "If you build it they will come".

So far you don't have this in place so everyone that looks including me will not put certain things in public on the forum. You have some good people here already. Yourself that knows osdate inside and out, CBG that knows the same along with php aspects and then mods like Vink that is great at the php.

Put the private groups together is the best advice that I can give and launch it say the first of the year. As I always said here I'm not the best at php but when it comes to making it responsive I will support the project. In that being said when you decide to do this type of thing I myself will donate templates for a new version so every template is responsive and mobile friendly.

Hi scvoyager,

Thanks will consider doing this next year when others aren't tied up with Christmas and holidays etc.

The default template is way out of date and really does need a new updated default layout, if your keen to do one
that would be great to include into the script. 

It is the holiday season for everyone and next year will be a good time to start.

I will do my part with responsive templates you just need to put the forum groups in place.

When everyone can start working it will be a good time to talk about removing many things of the site as in pre loaded data and slim it down to half the size.
