Using the editor in Admin CP settings

January 13, 2007 by Guest Michael
0 replies

It would be nice if there was some setting where we could tell the editor used in the Admin CP whether we wanted the text we put in there to be parsed or not. Right now, when you enter code into it, it saves the value as parsed HTML code. That doesn't work very well for things like personal message body text, as that gets parsed when the message is sent. So right now if you use this editor for such a feature, when the message is sent it's going to be sent using the HTML code for the message. That might come through looking OK to the receiver, but if they reply or forward that PM, the quoted text has all the HTML code in it and it is ugly.

[EDIT: The title was truncated and should read: "Optionally don't show some profile info in post view for when viewing profile info in member profile is disallowed in a particular context" "Current behaviour is a potential privacy issue..."] Hi all. Brandon asked me to repost this as a feature suggestion rather than as a problem report (as I did here Privacy issue: Even when guests are disallowed to view user profiles, profile info is still displayed in post view) So, well, here it is: For privacy reasons, we disallow guests and not logged-in-members to view any member profiles in our forum. However, some of the profile info is still shown in the "mini profile" on th…

Suggestion: Access to ipsclass in custom module for subscriptions

Hello together, I coded a 'custom module for subscription' (wich can be include while adding an new subscription package in the field 'Run custom module on subscription start/end?'). In my case I needed access to the database and I think a nice way would be $ipsclass->DB. Sadly there is no instance of the $ipsclass-Object. My workaround is, to modify the source/handlers/han_paysubscriptions.php and adding a $this->customsubs->ipsclass = &$this->ipsclass; direct after $this->customsubs = new customsubs(); In this case all subs need a var $ipsclass;after class customsubs {otherwise PHP could throw an error (if I remember correctly, it depends on…

1. In the ACP along with the security tools, there should a CHMOD checker. Or more like a writeable/execuatable/readable checker. It checks all the files if the files has the proper permission to it. It should check all directories and files. Also it should check for index.html exists in all the folders do people don't read what is in the directories. 2. There is a SQL error logger. There should be a PHP error logger also. This is also useful for mod developers also. If it is possible, log all the IPB errors also.

New idea on old "Track Topic" handling...

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if this is already possible, though I don't *think* it is. I know I have at least two options, to be PM'd when a reply has been made on a topic I'm tracking, or be emailed. I just stumbled across a website that will track conversations for you, and list them in a web-based view. Considering the new personal profile view, I think it'd be a decent place to put such a feature, and/or a place within "My Controls". Site (Service) in question: http://www.cocomment.com/

Email to Posting

I am looking for methods to create postings directly from emails. For example, I would like to be able to create an email address specific to a forum. If an email is sent to this address, it should be posted in the forum as a new posting. The limitation to this is that I wanted to verify that the specific originating email address (from) belongs to a user that is registered with the forum and is able to create new postings. I spoke to Invision Technical Support a couple of times explaining the need and I did not receive a solid response. I was told however that there are mods available that may be able to provide this functionality. I came in contact with a number of p…

Hey gang, A while back I got my IPB forum design from 1lotus. Sadly, James is no longer doing IP.Board skins, so I'm looking for a new designer. So, if anyone has any recommendations for good skin designers, please let me know! I'll be looking to either upgrade my existing skin to IP.Board 2.2 format (its currently 2.0), or actually getting a whole new design, including a new logo -- this depends on overall cost. :) Thanks, Djeli

Staggered release upgrades or similar

Having problems with support I would like to make a suggestion. After putting in a request to be upgraded I would far rather have a message saying your board will be scheduled for upgrade in xxx days rather than this current downtime. It would appear that the upgrade was done quickly the fix however is still ongoing after 19+hrs. I am not spoiling for a fight here or anything I am just asking that the system for upgrades after major releases could be looked at. You can only do so much in a day and that should be considered after a major release.

"Old" Yearly License expiring

I hope this is the right forum for this kind of request as I could not find a more appropriate one, neither here nor at ipsbeyond.com. I'm running a copy of IPB with a Yearly Licence which I purchased in January 2006. I do not want it to renew and I searched the client area for any information on how to stop a Yearly Licence (or the new Standard Licence) from renewing but without success. Am I supposed to simply send IPS a support ticket stating that I do not wish to renew? What is the best way to cancel an IPB (Yearly) Licence? The KB article "Difference Between A Yearly & A Perpetual License" gives the impression I do not have to do anything if I do not wish to …

Is there any way that only one member can use the classic design and the rest of the more than 7k people the new design? Thanks.

Hello I think it would be fantastic if there was an option under acp to have the calender show the current weeks planned events rather than a whole month. Similar to if you're on the calender page and click to have it show the weeks events .."../forums/index.php?act=calendar&cal_id=1&code=find&what=thisweek". Showing a months calender in such a tiny area isn't a very effective reminder for dates. If anyone knows how to hack this please let me know :wub:

I like the new posting interface a lot more than the 2.1 series interface. However, I don't like how we've got the same old JavaScript Pop-up for inserting images, links, lists, etc... Many people have probably noticed the nice pop-ups, like when adding friends and such: My suggestion is to use the same sort of pop-up to replace all of the classic JavaScript windows. It might look something like this: Of course, if the user's browser didn't support it, the standard pop-ups could be used.

Could I suggest that in a future release/version that the ability to change a skin be permission based/granted by user group. Many of us have "premium" memberships who help pay for additional skins. It would be nice if we could designate purchased skins to be used by the user groups who help support those purchases. Thanks

I joined IPB a few months ago as I had previously used the forum via a free host and I was impressed with the hosting options offered and took the plunge for a paid account on a shared server. Up until yesterday I was very impressed with all the support and advice I had received from the support staff and delighted with my IPB forum. About 15 hours ago my forum was closed without any notice due to perceived high volumes of concurrent users and I was told to upgrade to a package that cost about 800% more than the one I was on or go elsewhere. I was shocked and angry that this attitude had been taken and my forum closed without notice cutting me off completely from the 2…
