I think it is time to deprecate IPS4 Emoticons in favor of industry standard Unicode 9 Emoji within IPS4. This is a small change, but much nicer for users. Standard Unicode characters for Emoji are more diverse than Emoticons as there are Emoji for Symbols, Flags and many many other iconic characters that can enhance reading boring text. IPS4 Emoticons simply date our sites as last decade... Time to move on... ? or

I'd like to suggest making custom field types the same across the suite. e.g. You can add regex validation to a 'Text' field in Pages, but not Commerce packages. For my purposes, I primarily just need to be able to validate 'Text' fields via regex and length for Commerce packages, however I think unifying the 'custom field' functionality across the entire suite would be a good idea.

So I was reading through the other IP.Pages thread and I feel like a new thread needs to be started so it can be clearer on what users are looking to still have in their Pages blocks that would make us love IPS even more. (mostly because I think that the old thread is beating a dead horse so we need a live one to run the track) I know I still really really really really really (I'm not sure that's enough reallys) really want the ability to sort a feed by random. I want to have it choose X number of random items from the database and show them. I'd be fine if they were cached for the guest time frame and then refreshed just something that would update a random feed pe…

Hi, In order to optimize our communities for SEO, that would be great to have the ability to insert links on special keywords. In the admin CP, we could have a list of keywords, each associated to a link. For instance, if I have a page on my website about Ferrari cars, I would like to be able to link the word "Ferrari" to that page about Ferrari. Then, each time a member writes the word "Ferrari" in his posts, that would create automatically a link to that page (only if that word is not already in a link, of course). Would it be possible? Note: even better, only the first occurrence of this word would have a link. Otherwise, that would create…

The setup of this functionality is ill-conceived as far as I can see. It’s a product option, so it should be set up when a product is created, but the function is not available without linking the product from the custom field first. But when I go to the field first, I also cannot link it, since there is no product to link to yet. It’s like you are trying to send us through the Asterix madhouse. I have to set up the product without options first (and hide it from everyone because it’s not ready yet). Go to the custom fields, like that one product from EVERY single applicable custom field (and there could be many). Then open the product again to activate the…

I've seen this in Discord and other platforms and thought it would be a nice addition here on IPS for us lazy millennials. Make the reaction icons clickable to give a reaction of the same type. Maybe it would need a rework to see all the reactions but hey it's an idea. It would also help with having to tap twice on mobile. More satisfaction in the fastest and easiest way possible.

I'm not sure if this is the proper channel to address this. If it's not I'm sorry; please tell me where I should take this instead. While determining performance issues of an IPS install on a Windows VM I profiled it. It turned out that a large chunk of the rendering time is spent running uniqid() over and over again – over 140 times just on the forum overview page. When I grepped through the source code I noticed a number of issues related to PHP's uniqid() function I'd like to speak with you about. I think that a lot of this could be done away with. Firstly, uniqid() makes a hard assumption that PHP runs in an environment where the system time changes reliably…

Signing in to the community then I have to sign in to Client Area. It just a little pain to do both all the time. I thought IPB had a Master Slave thing that allows for to installs to talk to each other so that they can be not connected but still have the same sign in or share the same allow signin so thus I don't have to signin twice. Hope that made sense. I just got to keep signing in twice all the time just a bane. Could this be fix to allow one signin for both one time?

I don't like to use external captcha providers. Could you make it possible to extend the question and answer captcha from the login/register to also add an option to allow the question and answer captcha for guest posting... in the future? Thank you. @Rhett

I'm filtering reaction tabs in the summary that have a count of zero, but it seems that IPS\core\modules\front\members\profile is not using reactBlurb() (even though it works when extending it) Could it be made consistent with the thread showReactions() method? Thanks!

I noticed that the $last_activity field in the clubs directory used to build their "Last Active: [date]" text only reflects topics made in clubs. Could this be adjusted to reflect any activity that takes place in a club? If users are adding calendar events, gallery images, or blog posts, the club will still be seen as inactive unless people are also posting topics/replies to topics, which isn't a very good indicator of activity.

Say I have a really complex footer, and I want to be able to include some code in it that I would need to cache so queries aren't run on every pageload. Well right now you can just include the widgetContainer template anywhere you want and define it as a location! It does everything you need and you can plop widgets anywhere. However, in IPS\core\modules\front\system\widgets it's only letting areas of sidebar, header, and footer be accepted, which stinks. Could this be removed, or a way to define custom widget areas? Thanks!

Would you guys ever consider making IPS Merch? Mugs, custom keyboards/mouse/mouse pads, T-shirts or hats? I always wondered, I'd totally rock a Mouse Pad perhaps ?

So you can create a table on a page with pagination and point the content URL to a separate page, however there is no data attribute currently to disable updating the URL. Could this be added so inline pages could be properly made without modifying the URL? Thanks!

Hi, i know, there is a plugin here: But it is rather old, seems not to work correctly on 4.2 and only supports mobile devices - but many people use the DesktopApps these days... Couln't IPS add this to the default sharelinks, so it's in the core? It's also supported by XenForo and Wolrlab in the Core now (yes, I'm a bit jealous - but I'll stay with you anyway )... Any chances... ❤️

Hello, We have experienced some instances of possible account sharing and the use of our Downlod Manager. I recently updated our community from an ancient 3.1.2 build to the current. In the old system, we could see the list of who downloaded a file (still possible) and it would also show a little flag for the country of the source IP and would list their IP address. That IP functionality is no longer present. It would be very beneficial. I know I can get the list of IPs someone has used and cross reference with users who downloaded a file, but the old way was seamless and would be perfect for us right now. I would like to request the return of this functionalit…

Hello, I would love a mod that would replace text within a URL with a predefined text string. For example, if someone hit the LINK button to insert a link and they put ftp://somesite.com/filename.zip, it would automatically replace that with http://somesite.com/files/filename.zip. Does that make sense? Essentially, word replacement within URLs. The native word replacement works if someone just straight types a link directly within a URL but it doesn't work when using the LINK button. Is this possible? I recently took over a 3.1.2 forum and we just upgraded to 4.2.7 and that was definitely possible in 3.1.2, but not in the current version. Thanks for y…

I posted this in the another section of the forum but i realised it may be better to post it here We decided to limit the image post size to 700 pixels maximum in width and length and when we was doing the work on the forum server many of the attachments was over sized 2000 plus x 2000 plus of nothing of great value, members just download from the web and uploaded to the forum... Now on the forum this is a global setting and not in group content setting which only allows the same setting for all forum members but we have a group of members that post regular photo reports which want to use larger images.. i'm asking if this can be added into group con…

Please, add a link to the advanced search form in the new search box: Preferably next to the magnifying glass. This will avoid I have to submit the form just to go to the advanced form. Yes, I know I can go via URL, but it makes sense to add it there.
