Should verify mgroup in member_do_add()
by Guest K. T. Walrus- 4 replies
- 1.9k views
Just looking at the code in action_admin/member.php, it seems to me that you should verify that the mgroup input value is valid in member_do_add(). I'm not sure, but I think that if you have admin CP access but aren't in the root admin group, you could actually create a root admin user by just avoiding the form and doing the "doadd" URL directly. :devil: Or some other exploit... Maybe I'm missing something, but this just struck me as odd that this field doesn't seem to be checked before updating the DB...

Secondary Group Moderator Access
by Guest Reado- 3 replies
- 1.9k views
I've recently setup on my board a group with two users in. Each user has secondary group permissions, which have moderator access for specific forums. However, both users cannot use any moderator functions. IPB Support say this is not currently a feature. Can it be added please?

Blog User Custom Logo
by Guest I Love Foxes- 0 replies

Why do not allow the users to have a custom logo in his Blog? Like, in skin manager and Templates HTML put in place of "logo4.gif" or "tileback.gif" a code like <--LOGO--> <--TILE-->. After, in the Admin CP will easly upload and change it in the Easy Logo Change and in the Blog Settings, put the option to customize the logo. If not, put the actual logo.

Group Colors For Each Skin
by Guest JeremyStCyr- 9 replies
- 3k views
How about adding a feature for group colors for each skin? becuase everyone knows if you choose a skin sometimes it won't match your group colors, so maybe on User Groups you can set something up that it will let you have different colors for each skin for groups, kinda confusing what im saying, but am sure everyone gets the idea! :lol:

IPB Browser Integration (via Bookmarks, Extension)
by Guest //Nathan- 2 replies
- 2k views
A few days ago, I suggested a Firefox extension to aid in BBCode-tagging in posts. I have another idea as well, which would go along with that. I'm not sure if an extension could be made for IE users, but Bookmarks can be added to any browser, regardless (AFAIK). Now, this is how I browse my (and other) forums via Bookmarks now... That's the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox, and AFAIK you can do the same thing in MSIE. Those are links mostly to forums, and to other areas like UCP, ACP, Blogs, Arcade, etc. And my favorite link, Todays Active Topics, which is my browser's homepage. I'm not a big fan of the "main page" on any forum. Of course, if new forums were adde…

Board Redirect

How about making the board redirect message a user option rather than global member option. It annoys the hell out of me and I would love to be able to turn it off.

[2.1B2] ACP Validating New Members
by Guest AtariAge- 2 replies

When validating new members, can you please make it possible to click on a user's name to edit their information? Also, can you link the IP address so it goes to the IP tool? These would both save me some time when manually validating new users, and should be pretty simple changes to make. :) Thanks! ..Al

Different Installer Design
by Guest MrsSim- 16 replies
- 5.5k views
IPB is starting to expand more and more. So much that it has many redesigns done (think about it: IPB 2.1's ACP, IPB 2.0 BETA skin, etc.) Now that IPB 2.1 is comming out, I think it would be better to change the way the installation script looks. I was thinking like something along the lines of this: http://the-fiction-place.com/ipb_beta_installer/index.html (The links on the page don't work-- the button doesn't work either, I don't know how to make a button redirect to another page.) It's a very basic layout, inspired by the new Admin CP design. However, well, at least in my opinion, it looks much more professional when the user first installs the forum. Plus, with…

Stop Forums, that act as Categories, from showing sub-forums on Index.

I think having a forum which acts as a Category should stop it showing sub-forums on the Index Page. It doesn't seem logical to me to show sub-forums of a "category".

Display name changing
by Guest RawkBob- 5 replies
- 2k views
An option to clear a members name changing history in the acp would be good... anyone else agree? :) If it's already there, where is it, i looked but couldn't see it! Edit: also an option for you to set the login name to current display name and vice versa (at the touch of a button). moderators should also be allowed (admin setting on/off) to change member display name incase of inappropriate use.

Post Report Feature
by Guest deshelman- 4 replies
- 2.7k views
I'd like to see an option for when people report posts... where you can set the behavior in the ACP to either PM reportd to all moderators or it would post the report in a new topic in a forum you specify. (it would act kind of like the trash bin, just slightly different) Example: forum "Reports" viewable only by moderators. When a user presses the "report!" button, instead of sending a PM. It dumps the report into a new topic in the "Reports" forum, or whatever forum you wish. This way mods could easily discuss the report and if there are lots of moderators... instead of wondering who is taking care of the report, someone can just reply and say "i'm on it" or what…

IPB 2.1 & IPB Portal Suggestions
by Guest John IV- 6 replies
- 2.6k views
I have a few suggestions for IPB Portal & IPB 2.1. IPB Portal Suggestions 1. Custom Content Blocks Obviously, the option to create your own blocks for IPB portal. 2. Change IPB Portal Layout Basically, change where content blocks and such are displayed on IPB Portal. 3. Random Poll I think there should be an option to select a random poll, in case you want a specific one. I REALLY want this feature!! 4. Custom Pages IPB Portal would be improved so much if it also had a built in Custom Pages system for users. This would be one less mod to install and it would make IPB a full website builder out of the box! IPB v2.1 Suggestions 1. A Moderating Center Ins…

mail_queue and systemvars cache
by Guest K. T. Walrus- 2 replies
- 1.7k views
This isn't really a bug, but I think it isn't the best approach to keep a separate count of the number of rows in the mail_queue table in the systemvars cache. Seems to me that there is a potential for the count in the cache to not reflect the actual count in the table (resulting in mail in the queue not being serviced in a timely manner). Why go to all this trouble? Doing "select count(*) as count from ibf_mail_queue" is a query that is about as fast as you can get. MySQL doesn't even have to scan the table to count the rows as this count is maintained in the system tables for the database. Anyway, it is a small thing, but I think you should remove using this ex…

Bring back the "Board Home" option in the 2.1 ACP.
by Guest Quillz- 5 replies
- 1.9k views
I know this is trivial, but I noticed that the 2.1 ACP no longer has the "Board Home" link. In the 2.0 ACP, you would click on it, and your board's index would load in another window. When I'm in the ACP, I generally only have that window open, so it's annoying having to open a new tab or window and type in the URL to my board. It'd be nice for the IPB logo in the top-right of the 2.1 ACP to link back to your board's index page.

SQL, vast query improvements needed
by Guest cthree- 7 replies
- 3k views
Suggestion: Optimize the SQL queries. Start by removing conditional operators from WHERE clauses, especially OR. MySQL cannot optimize a SELECT containing OR. The optimizer is not able to pick an index to use when OR is used so you get a full table scan. Next cut down the complexity of some queries to get simpler results. Do multiple queries instead of one big one. Complex queries take up massive amounts of server RAM for buffering the massive result. This means more per connection overhead and less RAM left for key buffers. You are going to get vastly improved performance by doing 4 simple queries rather than 1 query joining 4 tables, especially if the query selec…
