Topic title textbox limit

October 3, 2006 by Guest Gogf
2 replies

1.3k views
There is currently no limit on the number of characters in the topic title textbook, but the maximum number of characters in a topic title is still there. Would it be possible to have a limit on the number of characters in the text box equal to the maximum number in a topic title?

Is this really needed? If it's not ready, it shouldn't load the attachment part at all. Just another waste of space imo.

Use IPD-style interface for IPB 3.0

Use IPD-style interface for IPB 3.0 Options Not just the design, but the whole folder dragging and dropping thing. It will make tasks such as forum management much easier to handle and really push IPB ahead of the league for forum software. :) My vision for Invision: IPB should be designed for ease of use while allowing for a lot of features. Make every task easy and hassle-free, but provide a wealth of options in the process (but not to the extent where it becomes bloated with useless features). Skinning is one area that I think needs more focus on in terms of ease of use.

When I try to add or view admin notes it will say 'connecting to invision.homeip.net' and then time out. I also see in the source code that the urls for those links are: [ <a href='#' onclick="ipsclass.pop_up_window('http://invision.homeip.net/invisionboard/index.php?act=warn&mid=1&CODE=view','500','450'); return false;">View User Notesa> ] [ <a href='#' onclick="ipsclass.pop_up_window('http://invision.homeip.net/invisionboard/index.php?act=warn&mid=1&CODE=add_note','500','450'); return false;">Add New Notea> ] I'm pretty sure that isn't right. >.>

Why does Public Beta 2 remove the .htaccess security?

In Public Beta 1, IPB could automatically configure .htaccess files to your ACP location to keep it protected. This features appears to have been removed in Public Beta 2. But why is this? I found it useful. Has it been moved elsewhere?

New Med-Fi version?

I would really like to see a new view of the forums implemented. Right now we have IPB in full color with all the bells and whistles OR a bare-bones, very limited functionality Lo-Fi version. I'd like to have a graphic-rich version of the forum that doesn't rely on Javascript, DHTML or AJAX or other dynamic components without sacrificing important functionality. As it stands now (and IPB 2.2 appears to be getting worse in this regard), if you have javascript turned off in your browser you cannot access certain critical features. For example, if I want to log in as administrator and edit a member's profile. I can't do that, because the item that creates the drop-down men…

Signature and profile

October 4, 2006 by Guest Luke

When the signature was removed from the new profile I didn't think to much of it. Infact, I didn't really care because I didn't really see a place to put it in the new system at all. And on the page itself, I really still don't see a place to put it. After thinking about it a little more, I wanted to suggest adding the signature back to the profile, but instead of on the page itself add it as a tab along with the "Topics" and "Replies" tabs. Something like "Signature". I think there may be enough room for it, although I do have a big resolution so I'm not quite sure.

Multi-Moderation Include User Group Change

I get alot of spam on the site when users register and post a thread of spam. I have a multi-moderation tool used to lock and move their thread into the trash-can. I think it would be really cool if we could also set it up to "ban" the user or something, perhaps warn, in multi-moderation.

Who here thinks it's a good idea to add the last x posts on top of the posting screen as opposed to the bottom? I think it'd help in certain situations where you need to view the previous messages without the need to switch pages, everything in one screen :D. Maybe add a toggle on/off to show at the top? :whistle: PS clickong on an emoticon still highlights the emoticon text >_<

Forum alias (not redirect)

October 4, 2006 by Guest Luke

1k views
I know this might not be useful for that many people, but it would be neat to have a "forum alias" feature. You can do it with the forum redirect, but it only shows you the number of times a forum has been redirected. What I am suggesting is something like redirect, but from forum->forum that would show the latest post and number of posts of the forum it's linking to. Where it would be useful is if you had a forum like this: -Admin Forum -English --English Moderators --(A)Admin Lounge --Lounge -- ... other forums ... -German -- German Moderators --(A)Admin Lounge -- Lounge -- ...other forums ... -French -- French Moderators --(A)Admin Lounge -- French Lounge -- ... …

No more conf_evalphp?

October 3, 2006 by Guest Michael

I'm working on converting a component mod of mine from IPB 2.1.x to 2.2.x, and I saw something interesting. I've got some settings that use conf_evalphp to do pre/post processing code to make sure the values entered are correct and I see this message when I go to my settings page: I noticed that now in the sources/components_acp/ folder we have a new folder, called setting_plugins. There is a file in there for working with the Trashcan setting. But we still have the option to create PHP code for new settings, and there is still a conf_evalphp column in our ibf_conf_settings table. Can we get an explanation of what the new setting_plugins folder would be used for sp…

Update skin macro system

October 3, 2006 by Guest Luke
2 replies

1.2k views
I find that the macro system is a bit out-dated... The macro's are replaced on-the-fly, and it can be rather un-necessary. My suggestion is save the macro's in a seperate cache file, along with the skin cache. Something like "macros.php". Then when you build the skins replace the macro's with something like: {$this->ipsclass->skin->macros['MY_MACRO_HERE']} The macro's text would be inside the file. Something like: $this->macros['MY_MACRO_HERE'] = "macro text here"; Not only can you eliminate the search and replace here, you can also add the ability to macro's to use variables. Like the $this->ipsclass->lang_id variable. If opening another file it m…

Reason For Banning

October 3, 2006 by Guest TestingSomething

1.1k views
Since banning notes has already been implemented, but only other mods/admins see it, why not do my suggestion of having the ban notes/reason show when the banned member himself tries to access the forum, instead of the default message only? I believe someone on IPS staff said such a thing is being worked on for 3.0, but I just figured with this latest change, it wouldn't be hard to have it also show on the index page to the banned member, would it? I am hoping if not... that a modder could easily do that.

i have a forum which has many sub-forums. and underneath that, it shows the "Forum led by: and the list of mods. now since they look very alike except for the latter being in italics, i'd say its still bit confusing for new users and you can mistakenly click on the moderators instead of the forums. so i say, 1) either have options to turn off "forum led by" and allow HTML in sub-forum titles.
