Changelog & Release Notes

pre_view_route filter (index.php) — filters the page file path before the view switch statement, allowing addons to route custom views or intercept built-in views

Signature: apply_filters('pre_view_route', $page, $xview). Return a full file path to override routing for custom views.

post_after_insert action (post.php) — fires after a new ad or event is inserted into the database for addon association, notifications, etc.

Signature: do_action('post_after_insert', $adid, $adtype, $data). Fires before image uploads and verification email.

post_skip_verification filter (post.php) — filters whether to skip email verification for a new ad, enabling auto-verification for trusted/logged-in users

Signature: apply_filters('post_skip_verification', false, $adid, $adtype). Return true to skip verification email.

edit_auth_check filter (userauth.inc.php) — filters the edit authorization result, allowing addons to grant edit access via session-based ownership instead of cookies

Signature: apply_filters('edit_auth_check', $auth, $adid, $isevent). Includes a fallback authorization block for addon-based auth.

header_account_link filter (backpage header.php) — filters the "My Account" button HTML, allowing addons to replace it with login/account state-aware links

Signature: apply_filters('header_account_link', $default_html). Backpage-specific; snet-phoenix uses header_nav_end action hook.

on_update hook with version-gated migrations — update script runs when addon version is newer than stored DB version, with $old_version and $new_version variables

Use version_compare($old_version, 'x.y.z', '<') guards so migrations run once and can skip versions (e.g., v1.0 → v1.3 runs all blocks).

upload_zip() update detection with version diff — detects when uploaded addon already exists, shows "updated (v1.0.0 → v1.1.0)" message instead of generic upload success

Reads old addon.json version before extraction and returns an update-aware message with version comparison.

min_app_version enforcement via version_compare() — addon activation checks addon.json min_app_version against $app_ver and returns error if too old

Added to AddonManager::activate(). Supports standard semantic versioning via PHP version_compare().

WebP format added to allowed uploads — "webp" added to $image_extensions and "image/webp" to $pic_filetypes in config.inc.php

New SaveResizedImage() function in common.inc.php — handles resizing for JPEG, WebP, and PNG formats with transparency preservation for WebP and PNG

SaveResizedJPG() retained as a backward-compatible wrapper. WebP and PNG now properly resized instead of being copied without resizing.

SaveUploadFile() now resizes WebP and PNG uploads — previously only JPEG was resized; other formats were copied at original resolution

Sticky footer fix — footer now stays at viewport bottom on short-content pages using flexbox (min-height: 100vh, flex: 1)

Moved footer inside #page wrapper and applied flex-direction: column with #article flex: 1 to fill remaining space.

Typography modernization — base font increased from 11pt to 14px with 1.5 line-height, headings converted to consistent px scale (h1: 24px, h2: 20px, h3: 16px)

Also updated breadcrumbs (9pt→12px), category count (7pt→10px), subcat list line-height (13pt→20px), ad listing row (11pt→14px).

Form control sizing — input/button height increased from 30px to 34px, font from 12px to 13px with proportional padding adjustments

Applied to header search inputs, buttons, and all .form-control elements. Footer font increased from 9pt to 13px.

Fix: promote.php — $feat_options variable typo; count($feat_options) referenced undefined variable, fixed to count($res_feat)

Fix: promote.php — $row['addesc'] used after unset; fixed to use $ad['addesc'] which holds the ad data from userauth.inc.php

Fix: common.inc.php — generateBrief() null parameter warnings; PHP 8.3 deprecation with preg_replace()/strlen() receiving null

Fix: message.php templates — undefined $dialog_title warning in both themes; added ($dialog_title ?? null) to conditional

Fix: query_record() — PHP 8.3 compatibility; changed array offset access to use null coalescing ($items[0] ?? null)

_default.php fallback view template for backpage theme — renders addon_page_content() output when an addon routes to a custom view via pre_view_route

_default.php fallback view template for snet-phoenix theme — ensures custom addon views render instead of showing a blank page
