Question: I bought 1.x plugins from Konsort.org, what happpens with Phpfox 2.x?
Answer: With phpfox 2.0, all products released by us for Phpfox 2.0 will be released as new products.
What this means:
1. These are new products, not updates. Your old purchases will not apply to these new products, even if they are similar in name or function. Very little, if any, of our old code will be used in these new products. Phpfox 1.x had a lot of developer problems that made creating super reliable plugins very difficult since much of the alternations had to be done manually. Phpfox 1.6 Build 20 did much to improve on this, but Phpfox 2.0 is miles ahead of that. Phpfox 2.0 will enable us to create better, more reliable plugins that won't break or need updates every time Phpfox releases a new version. Phpfox 2.0 is a huge step forward for developers and users of 3rd party plugins!
2. Releasing our 2.x plugins as new products enables us to continue to support our 1.6 line of plugins. Some of our customers with significant alterations to their site have voiced that they will not be migrating to 2.0, at least not at first. Since we're releasing our 2.x line of mods as new products, our 1.x line of mods will continue to receive free bug fix updates and support.
3. New features and products. One thing that also contributed to our decision to release as new products is that we can put lots more individual time into each of our new products than if we simply released them as an update. Any of our 'old plugins' that are released under 2.x will be substantially different. Also, not all of old mods will be ported to 2.x... some of our mods have been implemented by Phpfox as a core feature. Obviously, there's no need to reinvent the wheel a third time. Also, we're going to be releasing some new plugins that we haven't offered in the past, ones that we see as being extremely important that were not included in Phpfox 2.0's core feature list.
4. Discounts. If your purchased an old product of ours that has a similar new product for 2.x, you can qualify for a $10 discount per item. If you wish to purchase a number of our new 2.x items, contact us via support ticket (http://www.konsort.org/support/forumdisplay.php?f=2) to inquire about bulk discounts on large purchases. Special discounts will be given for customers who very recently purchased our 1.6 products and would like to switch to 2.x.
