Another big change for SMF 2.0 Beta 2
Posted by Thantos on January 13, 2008, 05:21:05 PM
Earlier today the devs got together online and had us a nice hour long chat. One of the things we discussed was the $smfFunc variable. In SMF 1.1 we have the $func variable. However, the name could easily conflict with other software so we decided to change the name to $smfFunc which it was from the Alpha version through to Beta 1.
Without giving away our plans for world domination, it was decided that the name didn't fit with out long term plans as it ties it to the forum. So we changed the name to $smcFunc. Now what does SMC stand for? I guess you'll just have to wait and find out later
It was decided that if we were going to change the name that now really is a good time to do it as we've already made one change that touches each query and it would be easier on our mod authors if we made all such sweeping changes at once and then let things settle down.
For change itself is easy to make as you can just do a find/replace for it so we hope that it won't be too much work.

It's not Sarah Michelle Cellar. I never said that. You never read that. You're sleepy. (Not you, SleePy.) You're going to bed. Tomorrow, you'll think SMC stands for Simple Machines Core-munity.
Then each function must be a cob

O...K... That really didn't make much sense. But I couldn't think of anything else
Probably, who knows.
