CSS Easy Mode

November 18, 2004 by Guest Hancoque

2.2k views
For a simple color conversion it seems to be a good choice to use the easy mode for editing the CSS instead of the advanced mode. But I'd like to suggest some improvements. Not all background colors are recognized: Most background colors in the default stylesheet are definded by "background" rather than "background-color" entries, but the easy mode only recognizes "background-color" entries. There are two approaches to fix this. Either you could provide a stylesheet that always uses "background-color" or you could advance your parsing script to recognize colors also in "background" entries. The latter would be the better way, because people wouldn't have to update thei…

Automatic warning expiry

Would it possible to add a time limit for warnings - so that the warning will decrease if after a set period of time. At the moment it is left to moderators to manually decrease warnings which is cumbersome on boards with many members. An automatic option would be greatly appreciated.

IP bans for a limited period of time

Often it is necessary to ban an IP when you ban a username to prevent the person simply making a new account and returning to the board. Its great that username bans expire automatically but then you have to remember to unban the IP address (and find out which IP it was in the ban filters). It would be great if an option to IP ban could be added to the Warn/ban system and suspend system in admin CP so they are banned and expired at the same time as the username. Obviously this should be flexible enough to allow you to select which IP or IP ranges you want to ban. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Global Warning and Profile Editing

November 16, 2004 by Guest eyedam

Hello! Currently only admins (and super-moderators) have ability to warn members from their profile pages and edit their profiles. I suggest these to be added as optional privileges for any moderator. In addition, there was a profile editing privilege in version 1.3. Why did you have to remove it?! And the warning ability only from the forums the member is moderating is a good, logical feature, and it had to be like that from the very beginning. However, I suggest you create an additional optional privilege to allow to warn members from any forum (even from those where the particular member is not a moderator of) and the member's profile page. Also, if I'm not mis…

Can we have the ability to specify Deny access on a permission mask? This would be a great option as it would make it easier to allow/deny access to forums. Deny masks explained.

I visit a couple of Invision boards. At one, if I do a "View New Posts", and then Log Off, they disappear when I come back. Is there a way, some kind of board setting or SQL parm perhaps, that can be set so that "View New Posts" has a better memory?

PM Archive sort

In 1.3.1 the PM's in a HTML archive where sorted chronologically and it was reall easy to follow a conversation in the archive. Now in 2.0.0 and higher the HTML archive is different. It now sorts the PM's per folder and its really difficult to follow a conversation. And the css of the HTML archive was missing some parts, for the quote parts and other stuff. This was in 2.0.1 and i fixed it myself, dont know if its still in 2.0.2 But i hope the sort order can be changed back to the way it was in 1.3.1

Ok i'm sure you've prolly gotten at least one thread with this suggestion but i really didn't feel like thread hunting :P if anyone knows how the WebHost Manager of cPanel works, they will know what I'm talking about. cPanel comes with a button that just says "Upgrade". when you click it, it goes and auto-retrieves the latest update from cpanel and installs it to the server. it also goes and gets server software updates, but i dont expect that lol. my suggestion is quite obvious from the previously stated info. I suggest there simply be an upgrade script that actually retrieves the latest IPB package and installs it. of course it would check licensing as well before i…

Enhanced redirect forums (like symbolic links)

November 9, 2004 by Guest mrbuzz

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

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

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?)

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.

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.
