Enhanced redirect forums (like symbolic links)
by Guest mrbuzz- 9 replies
- 3.5k views
Often I find the need to almost specify 'multiple' parent forums for a single forum, ie: I would like to add the same forum to multiple areas of my board. Currently, I'm just using regular redirect forums to accomplish this. Having a many-to-many for forums is probably overkill, so I figured this may be the next best thing. What these 'enhanced' redirect forums do is simply act like a direct pointer to another forum. It'll show last post, forum name and description, topic and post counts of the target forum. Much like an alias or a symbolic link. That would rock. I also believe this will tremendously open up IPB to having much more flexibility in terms of logicall…

Admin CP: Add New General Settings Feature
by Guest Shawn Dean- 0 replies
- 2k views
Hey, Matt, could you possibly add an option to add in javascript, and extra field varibles for setting fields please? Example: When creating a new setting inside a setting group, say the field is a text input. In the setting form, you can add a field to give the size of the input or something like that. And if no size is given, use the default lendth. Same thing with multi-select dropdowns. Instead of the limit being 5, we can change it to like 8 or 10 or whatever number. Dean

I would like the ability to define which groups see the announcements. Sometimes you want to announce something to only one group. Keith

Addition to My Assistant

I think it would be nice the assistant, while showing how many posts were replies to topics I started, also giving the number and link to a search that shows posts in topics you have posted in. Make it easier in the morning to pick up where you left off the night before. Keith

"Topic title and desc" fields are too short.

The "Topic title" and "Topic Description" fields are too short. Please make them as long as the "Forum name" field. If that is not possible, lengthen them as long as you can.

Integrate with popular CMS?
by Guest datoufish- 7 replies
- 3.5k views
Either sell as additional module or free download as a gift. Some popular CMS like movabletype, ez publish, pmachine, mambo, etc. Integration here, in my point of view, may include 1) membership sysytem (registration, management, etc) 2) comments (comments to an article published by CMS will be posted in a IPB forum) :rolleyes: As far as I know, aMember has this for sale. (Maybe I shall wait until Invision's own CMS?)

Hi everyone, Im new here and couldnt seem to find the right forum to post this in. I didnt have permission to the support forum. I am a little new to power board administration. I am the admin at http://www.discreteautos.net I cant seem to figure out how to make someone a moderator. When I look to make a new mask, the only option is admin status for someone like a mod. I obviously dont want to give my mods admin status. So how do I do this? Thanks, Alex - If someone will move this thread please shoot me a pm telling me where it is going

After clicking reply, there's no autoated JS to add your multi-quotes. The post review should have little add/subtract buttons to paste them into the post.

SM Suggestion

Would like to have the following ability. Generate coupons so members can give to others for free membership or a discounted memberships. Each number would be different and would only be able to be used 1 time. Also it would be nice to have the option to have a generic coupon that people could use, but it would expire on X date. Call it a promotion code if you will...

Calendar Entries
by Guest Xandur- 0 replies
- 1.6k views
I'm in the process of adding holidays to my calendar and realized that there is no way to have a recurring event that happens on every First, Second, Third, etc. sunday of a month. If it's on the same exact day every year, no problem, but with holidays that change days every year, the recurring option will not work. Maybe an option in the recurring section that allows you to select the third sunday of march until 2009. Just a thought... :)

It would be a nice feature to rate a post. For example, 1 stars 2 stars 3 stars etc This would be 3-5 small icons visible when reading a post. Clicking on the stars would show the post as 1,2,3 or whatever stars meaning that it was helpful, insightful, or whatever.

Ban User from Topics
by Guest .Daniel- 2 replies
- 2.4k views
Hi; i thought of an idea for a feature that would allow you too ban a single member or member group from posting in a topic. That way; you wouldn't have too close the topic just for one user mis-behaving; you'd just ban the user from posting in that topic; and let everybody else keep talking; If you wanted; you could make it so it automaticcly ups the warn level if they get banned from a topic! The same feature could be used too ban a member from just posting in one forum; instead of banning compleatly. ;)

Reinstate the WWW button
by Guest rcbowman- 4 replies
- 2.5k views
I'm thrilled at most of the changes on IPB 2.0, but the elimination of the www button is horrid. Sure, there's still a link on the user's "card" thingie, but having it instantly accessible on any post is (a) more convenient, (b) more informative, in that you can see if a user has a webpage instantly, and © much more useful, if one can, as a user, refer people to one's webpage and not have to explain where to find the darn thing. Please bring it back! It's a great loss, and upgrades should not be downgrades. At the very least, there should be an administrator's pref setting to show www buttons. Thanks.

Attachment / Gallery / Blog Uploads Manger
by Guest krocheck- 2 replies
- 2.2k views
I have found that with all these different things it would be easy for any member to take advantage of the various other systems if their quota on one is full. Instead of setting maximum upload space for each different system, having one global .... Upload Box ... for everything along with one upload quota would be much more effective and easier to moderate. Keith

I have people that want to ADVERTISE on my site. It would be great if I could point them to a url where they could buy an ad online. This could be a revenue split with Invision, offset hosting costs, or paid directly to the board owner.

GD Email logging on Validation
by Guest Pete- 9 replies
- 3.5k views
Hi there guys Here's a feature request as an owner of a busy board (once I port my two across into my new 2.0 board). I get sick of spammers signing up ay my forums, using real email addresses to validate their accounts, then logging in, altering their email address and spamming my forums. On that note, could we please have an option when a member validates to automaitcally create a GD image of their email address (so it's totally tamper proof and maybe even with the option of having the image folder outside the root of the webspace) just as they click the validation link. This way we'll have a permanent record of a working email address to help track down evildoers ;…

Member Titles

Hello, Currently, if you go to System Settings>View all General Settings>User Profiles> You will see: That is valid for ALL member groups. It would be much better to be able to set certain groups to be able to edit their own member title by post count or just generally anytime for that specific user group. Thank you :)

Tasks
by Guest Wolfie- 0 replies
- 1.8k views
Ok it's cool to have a task manager that runs internally and all, and even that there are some predesigned tasks, however perhaps the ability to have the ability to integrate task modules. Here's what I mean. Let's say that there is a single module for all of the default IPB tasks. When setting up a scheduled even, if the module being used has been designed to be integrated, then a setup menu would be shown where the different tasks (that it supports) can be turned on/off, as well as any additional settings or options for each task it supports. This would be useful for cutting down on clutter and also for allowing admins that have slow boards to set up for more tasks…

More IPB Portal features
by Guest -Strider-- 13 replies
- 5.5k views
I think IPB Portal should be easily customizable. I think you should be able to make custom blocks, and i think there should also be IPGallery and ITSL blocks available that show a random image, and the top 5 sites. Also, when hiding all skins, the select skin block still shows up, with a blank drop down box
