Quick Edit button revamp? 1 2
by Guest Gogf- 29 replies
- 7.1k views
As it is, when you hit the edit button, you are presented with two options: "Quick Edit" and "Full Edit." The AJAX powered quick edit is very useful, but I, as someone who also posts on some vBulletin forums, have found that having to click on Quick Edit before actually being able to edit can be rather annoying. Before 2.1, clicking on Edit immediately brought us to an edit screen. It wasn't as quick as with AJAX, but there weren't a massive number of clicks involved. So, my proposal is to remove the option dropdown from the Edit button. Make it automatically open the AJAX editor, and then have a button (next to "Complete Edit" and "Cancel Edit") which allows users to ju…

A question I just thought of for licensing
by Guest Keven Fox- 5 replies
- 2.2k views
Okay, say I have 1 Perpetual and 1 Yearly license. Since 1 is perpetual you have access to future builds and updates, so you'd be able to update the yearly as well. I mean morally maybe not, but I would think it wouldn't be that big a deal?

Global Header and Footer

Some hosts require users to insert adverts in every page, occasionally at both top and bottom of the forum page. SMF 1.1 has a mod to do this, will this feature be built into 2.2? Second, has anyone tested 2.2's ability to cope with mandatory ads inserted by a web host, over which the user has no control as this seems to break most message boards of the php type. Thanks for listening.

So why use the "font weight bold" or whatever when you can just use the <b> and </b> in the span style for administrator? I'm just curious of course.

Skin Editor Suggestion
by Guest SnakEyez- 0 replies
- 1.1k views
Just a thought since I finally got around to playing with themes. In previous version of IPB, to call the language variables we just used {ipb.lang['variable']} in the HTML editor. Now it seems as if we have to use $this->ipsclass->lang['variable']. Personally I don't see a need as to why we should have to use the full PHP code to call a language variable in the HTML editor. Couldn't you just set it back to the simpler ipb.lang['variable'] which is much shorter and simpler to remember than having to use the entire PHP statement. Or do you have some sort of plan for an update for the editor that would warrant the need for a more complex call to the variables (ie…

Your Group Pre/Suffix & Editor
by Guest Roman B.- 0 replies
- 1.2k views
I really like the new prefix/suffix of the group poster. But I think it'd be really nice if you could click it to see everyone in that group... Also with the editor, in the Beta before the one that was released to the public I was able to click the smileys, and I loved how when you hovered over one it highlighted the selection. But now I'm unable to insert a smiley through the left bar. This is with IE6 and Firefox. Also I like how you implimented the next/previous features on the smileys, but see if anyone else can replicate the following: Click next, then previous, then previous 2-3 more times, and then you should be stuck at that one screen. Then click next, and prev…

What's the code to access the admin skin stuff?
by Guest Michael- 8 replies
- 2.9k views
In IPB 2.1, you could access Admin skin elements with code such as this: <img src='{$this->ipsclass->skin_url}/images/aff_tick.png' border='0' /> $this->ipsclass->skin_url doesn't appear to work anymore, it's apparently been replaced with something else. Since the source code is encrypted, any chance an IPS staffer could reveal just what this got changed to? (w00t)

Captcha & IMG tag & Lack of Acronym
by Guest Jbugman- 12 replies
- 3k views
Hello All, Well, I was expecting more from the update, although at the end of the date, its not supposed to be a feature released update. My problems/concerns 1. Captcha - Its still highly weak IMHO, putting the graphic behind it doesnt really help. I was expecting more of a twisting letters like the google one. Its not hard to do and do safely. 2. Lack of Acronym manager - Now I thought this would have been included, especially as you have some very public customers whom I sure this would have been a handy feature. Also, if you have changed all your preg_match I would have thought it would have been easier to include 3. IMG tag - Doesnt seem to resize the incoming i…

Return to PM Red Classic View 1 2

I was a bit disappointed that after upgrading to 2.1 from 2.0 that the red pm window had been done away with and the "My assistant" window popped up. The old red window was much more elegant and nicer to work with. Can we have the option of having it back in 2.2 please? The new method seems a backwards step to me. Thank heavens that a mod has been wriiten that gives us this functionality back here. Thank you. 3DKiwi

When I looked at my friends test forum heres what I found.. Admin Tab (Main screen with IPB Update area... The information bar is missing, the one with the Title and descriptions underneath. Components Tab The tab brings up the main page of IPB in a framed window yet the info bar says even if you click on a different title like Company..; "Invision Gallery Manager You can set up and manage your gallery in this section." Tools & Settings... Why is the "Export Selected Settings" at the very bottom and not in a faux button? Or setup like "Import an XML settings file"? Also in the left menu columns it is hard to read orange highlighted text over lt. grey... Look …

IPB 2.2 Slow?
by Guest UnitedPakistan- 20 replies

For some reason on my server 2.1.6 is very fast but this new 2.2 is noticably slower. Could this be because of the encoding? 2 things I dont like about this new version.... 1. The quick access stuff and how the emotes are in a smaller box now. 2. The new RTE setup...I dont like this because the quick access items are not in it anymroe.

Restrict BBCode and auto link generation
by Guest JasonG- 3 replies
- 2.1k views
Right now spammers can log on my forums and spam their crap using bbcode or plain http links. I can restrict who can use HTML by not only forum but also group. Why can't I control bbcode and http linking the same way? This way admins can setup new member groups with no (or possibly limited) bbcode and linking privaleges. New users have to post however many posts we decide until they get moved to the full membership group. Most spammers just post the one spam post and move on, if the boards automatically rejected their BBCode posts and gave error messages saying new users aren't allowed to post links to other sites it would make spamming pretty much pointless on that boar…

ACP feature search should show where the feature is
by Guest Xenboy- 7 replies
- 2k views
I think it is wonderful that you can search the ACP features looking for a particular settings. However, I'd like to see this expanded slightly. Right now a search only shows the settings that match your search, but they don't tell you where that feature can be found (if you want to go to it directly later). I would like to see the search show the matching settings and allow you to click to see where the setting is located in the ACP. This would make it easier for new admins to learn the ACP and cut down on the number of searches needed to find features.

With the new username dropdown, getting to a user's profile is no longer the quick ability it used to be. This can easily be solved by making the avatar - which is currently not a link - link to a user's profile :).

Show signature in profile?
by Guest Gogf- 24 replies
- 6.7k views
You used to be able to see members' signatures in their profiles. As far as I can tell, you no longer can. Is it possible to have this changed somehow? It's nice to see signatures when you search the member list for someone, but what I find more important is that I can no longer view my own signature by clicking on my name next to the "log out" option.

Im going to compile a list of things in this topic that I would like to comment on about IPB 2.2. Ill list bugs here also, but will post them on the Bug Tracker (just a bit of notice here to others to discuss it). I think this is a neater way instead of having a new topic per comment, but if staff would prefer a new topic for them -- I have no issues doing so. Just ask :) So lets get started! Rich Text & Standard Editor:- I wish there was an easier way to determine the Rich Text Editor from Standard Text Editor. It aint a big issue but the "switch" button doesnt show the current status. Yes, it can be guessed fairly easy but wouldnt be to bad to have it marked? :P Ri…
