[Feature Request] Slave Database for Search

January 14, 2007 by Guest MaNiAc LRSC
3 replies

1.7k views
In the moment big boards like mine (www.germanscooterforum.de) lock completely up if some users do a search at the same time. Someone in the IPS Forum had a good idea in order to prevent this: By using a replicated slave Database only for searching purposes. There are only a few things that have to be modified, here's the detailed description: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...t&p=1135208

Integrate Active Topics

Allow integrate a list of active topics (selected, popular, recent) to the web pages by adding a single line of cut-and-paste JavaScript code. Users can also specify how many lines and which fields would appear, and how the list should be sorted. This would be useful if the forum is very active and you want the visitors to know what are the current active topics.

Feature Request: Disable Internal Emailing Completely

I love that IPB has a rich feature set. However, I wish it was easier to turn certain features off. For my intranet-based implementation, I have no need for the built-in emailing system, and there doesn't seem to be any way to disable it. I'd like to be able to just get rid of it completely - all the members of my forum are on the same internal Novell GroupWise email system and I don't want them to start messaging one another through the forum. -William

Could you make an option to only show the birthdays from members of specified groups on the calendar/board index? I don't want members in my Banned usergroup to have their birthdays still showing, for example.

IPB custom login vs. Converge

As these forums are meant to provide feedback... ;) (pardon English mistakes if any) After extensive search (not only here but also on ipsbeyond and invisionize) I find it difficult to make a choice between several possibilities, and I guess (but i might be wrong) that just a few explanations could make things clearer. Our project is based on two applications: - OsCommerce MS2.2 on the one hand - IPB 2.2.1 on the other hand of course! ;) We want to "bridge" both applications so that: - when users log on/off oscommerce, the same automatically applies to ipb - when users want to change their login information (eg email & password), they only have to do it once (or i…

RSS importer auto article remover

December 7, 2005 by Guest gweilo8888

Hi all I'm having a problem with RSS article import from several sites, such as Craigslist (for example). Sometimes the RSS importer is incorrectly deciding certain items are "new" and creating new forum threads for them every single time the articles are updated. It strikes me that the workaround for this would be exceptionally simple. In the configuration of each RSS import feed, let the admin set a feed as either "append" or "replace" - and if the latter is chosen, then ALL RSS articles for that feed would be automatically removed before new articles are fetched. Can this be added to future builds please, or can somebody suggest what code I'd need to modify to a…

Option to disable Purchase Paid Subscriptions

I would very much like to see a setting where you can choose not to show the 'Purchase Paid Subscriptions' link in My Controls. It feels so confusing to have it there if you don't use it. I know it's possible to skin out, but I think ACP option to not show it would be the right thing to have. Hope to see it added. :)

There used to be a topic called "my little Adsense mod...". I used details of the post to setup Adsense visibility for various usergroups, and it worked very well. Now that 2.2.X is out I need to revisit it, but it's gone. Are these missing posts in a hidden forum somewhere, or have they been deleted?

Feature Request: When receiving a message from IPB it would be much more informative and useful if the follow were possible. 1. Email messages with the topic title in the subject heading. A. much more descriptive when looking at your inbox instead of 10 or 20 message with the same subject heading B. Perhaps - Name of the site - Topic title 2. Including the body of text from the message or PM A. Reduce overall server impact just to check the body of the message. B. Message replies are prioritized based on content. 3. Unsubscribe link on the bottom of the message A. A very point click interface for managing your subscriptions. Validation …

archive feature

January 18, 2007 by Guest sallam

Greetings It would be great if IPB has an archive system. Admin can then set a date in ACP, before which all topics are made into static html pages, and then deleted from the databse, leaving only some kind of linkage to their new location. This would be a very helpful feature for big forums that suffer from bulky databases, keeping it always nice and slim. After all, who would want to reply to a 2 year old topic? and even if they do, it would look ugly when it suddenly shows up and takes over the top. The layout can be same as the lofiversion pages, but in static html, without using the database. I hope Matt considers making this feature in a future release.

Upgrade Program - Smaller steps taken

I would suggest in the future an upgrade program that takes smaller steps. Having to use the command line for such small forums is frankly ridiculous. I just locked up my server in fact trying via the browser. My server admin said he never has problems with Vbulletin due to smaller upgrade steps they take in their upgrade script. Food for thought for IPB.

Some of my users have been complaining about the IPB smileys. They like some other smileys from some other forum software. Would it be possible to allow different smiley sets from which users could select the one they would like to use? Some people prefer the text smileys so that would be a nice option too.

Hi folks, Here comes another feature suggestion for a future version of IPB: Assume a board with many categories and sub-forums (in our case each for a small set of photographic tools, categorized in a logical structure alongside a particular vendor's versatile photo system), similar to a deep directory tree. Since we are trying to build up a shared knowledge base alongside the discussion, it is necessary to have many sub-forums (sometimes 3 and more levels deep) in order to give users a chance to find a collection of information about a specific item or theme just by walking down the tree alongside the attributed paths (forum names). Also, having the board logically or…

Bump should be standard in IPB

I've been requesting this since before the first public release of InvisionBoard. (back when it looked like this: http://web.archive.org/web/20020605060215/...ard.com/forums/ ) InvisionBoard has tons of features- lots that most people never use. That's not a bad thing. It's great... InvisionBoard is a feature-rich forum software and there's no harm in having tons of features. However, I manually have to install the 'bump' modification every single time. It is a feature that I just wouldn't be able to live without. Every time a feature-list is announced for a new version of IPB, the first thing I look for is the 'bump' functionality. May I please request that it be inc…
