FeatReq: Ability to subscribe to special forums
by Guest Reado- 0 replies
- 1.5k views
Would it be possible to add a feature that would allow individual users to subscribe to their own special forums that are being run on a board? An example would be if the Admin is running a forum that imports RSS feeds from a computer website and a forum that imports from a world news website, the idea being users would have the ability to subscribe (view) the forum of their choice. By doing this, posts from this special forum would appear in their view of the board and in search results. At the moment on our forums, we import RSS feeds from the BBC Sport website, but only a fraction of our members take interest. We still want to run the import as there's an interest th…

still no forum wide anouncement tool in admincp?
by Guest xe-cute- 5 replies
- 2.2k views
Maybe i gone blind and i am missing something, but i thought by now in admincp there would be a tool to make a forum wide anouncement at the top of the forums. I.E. "the forums will be closing in 10minutes for maintenance" to either pop-up or show under the header on the main forum index page. Anyway it's just an idea which could be valuable to many, suppose i'll have to go mod looking for it (i know they exist for older boards). Forgave me if i have missed this option somehow and please poke me with a stick to the right area of admincp.

Several pre-sale quetions
by Guest CrazyCoder- 6 replies

Dear IPS Staff: I have 3 pre-sale questions to ask. I am not sure if I posted in right place, however, I havn't found a pre-sale forum here. 1. Assume that I will use IPB for 3 years , I have two choices (besides the tech support) i, three yearly liscences, it will cost $69.5 + $69.5 + $69.5 ii, one lifetime liscence, it will cost $185 + 0 + 0 Is that true? Perpetual one of $185 once paid, I shall be able to use it for lifetime? But I hear that perpetual liscence will cost addtional $30 per year? What is the $30 for, tech support? 2. If I bought yearly liscence, how will it cost to upgrade to perprtual liscence when it is active? And how will it cost to …

SMF to IPB 2.0(Trial) Problems
by Guest Lance777- 2 replies
- 2k views
Hello, My company staff has recently taken it in to conern and we've trying to change over from SMF 1.0.4 to IPB. However, not quite sure how our members/staffers will take to a new board change(we've been through about 5 different forum softwares before) so we're still debating whether or not we want to buy the upgraded version of IPB 2.1. Right now we're trying to do a temporary switch to the IPB 2.0(Trial) but we've been having issues with it. I can manage to convert the members/topics/posts/database but for some reason the board shuts offline after the forum catagories are converted, and we're unable to login to the forums(even after a password recovery). I'm n…

For simplify the internationalization of forum you can use instead of gmdate the php function gmstrftime return gmstrftime($this->time_options[$method], ($date + $this->offset) ); instead of return gmdate($this->time_options[$method], ($date + $this->offset) ); with the function setlocale() before (argoument of setlocale editable directly by admin cp) o:) now all date is writed in all language possible (w00t)

The ability to change from RTE to STE in the post screen
by Guest FCB-Mo- 1 reply

i think the introduction of the the ability to change the textarea from the RTE to the STE and vice versa in the posting page should be introduced as it is much more convenient than going to the UCP and then the board settings to change it

Mass move by keyword
by Guest BRamburn- 0 replies
- 1.4k views
Some admins may have gone over this, but there should be a mass move by keywords. where if it contains xx keyword, they get moved. This is good when you are planning on spliting a forum into 2 if there is loads of topics.

[suggestion]Maybe you should found a Chinese office
by Guest EDAKing- 1 reply
- 1.6k views
According to some survey, IPB is the most popular forum systemv in China, But I find you have no Chinese version. Althogh I want to purchase a license, but I can't translate it to Chinese, and I can't get some local support(I can only write a little English). So, if you guys found a Chinese office, I think you can get a lot of customers. a suggestion! I hope you will accept it :wub:

Stop shouting in topic titles for non-US customers
by Guest bpn- 2 replies
- 1.7k views
Turning on this option will convert the first character in every word to uppercase, also for non-shouting titles.... Therefore, we can't use this option. Should have been an option here for non-US customers. Asked IPB support about this and the answer was: All I would recommend in this case is to leave the function disabled. If the feature is not something that would be useful in your site, you can always leave it off. :huh:

PM Conversation View
by Guest Voltemort- 4 replies
- 2.3k views
How about making the PM system just like Gmail's conversation view? It will be like a thread, where all PM replies will be kept all together. (w00t) That, not only will make PM system better, but will also keep our inbox more organized. Of course, there will be an option to use the old-school way of PMing, as well as options for splitting/merging PM threads. Moreover, we can also have a nice and convinient "forward the whole PM thread", that will save a lot of time. :)

Merge member's concurrent posts as GROUP option
by Guest Tedy- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
Hi, I think that the option "Merge member's concurrent posts" should be a GROUP option, instead of a "General Settings" option. So we could allow trusted members to reply himself, but prevent newbies to do it. Thanks for your good work !

Remember Me

When select remember me it should remember what you selected. If I uncheck Remember Me and get my password wrong, then it should still have remember me unchecked. Unfortunately right now it doesn't work like that.

Deleted “validating” automatically!
by Guest Swiss-BJ- 0 replies
- 1.3k views
Automatically to erase (in a task system in IPB for example) the "validating" which were never validated. Currently IPB does not function like that, to erase the validating (with the numbers of days chosen in the ACP), it is necessary absolutely that new validated enters the list. That especially does not seem logical to me by having voluntarily selected the option "X days" in the ACP. Stephane (Sorry for my bad English and explanation, I do my better.)

some suggestions

Hi, I have been trying out multiple WYSIWYG editor and i think the ipb one is lacking alot!! First as sometime when you have so many different styles for the words the text goes oversize when you submit, There should be an option where you can view the BBCODE view. Second you need to put the increase and decrease textarea size on the top and not on the bottom as, it is quite annoying when you need to scroll down again to click increase. third there should have a button to fix the bbcode or html forth you need to intergrate spell check, i know matt worked on some ipspellcheck a few years, i think he mentioned it on a blog or on a post, i can't remember.

Option to always use a new date for imported RSS feed topics
by Guest Hancoque- 0 replies
- 1.6k views
I'd like to be able to enforce that the real dates of topic creations are always used instead of the dates specified in the feed. The reason for that is that I don't want to have newer imports with older dates than previously imported topics. That messes with the timeline and might confuse people. So, an option to disable inheriting the feed's dates on a per-feed basis would be great.

[2.1]+ Toggle Subscriptions On or Off

I would like the ability to disable subscriptions, so that my forum does not send email to members. Or at least disable some of the more frequent ones being sent and force a digest version. This is the source of one of my members biggest complaints ( even though it's entirely in their control to avoid or unsubscribe ).

Quick-Topic
by Guest bwyatt- 2 replies
- 2.5k views
Hey, We all know that IPB 2.1 has a neat quick edit feature, that is one of the most handiest things on IPB (IMO). So how about the ability to use quick-topic, for instance, when you click New Topic, there could be a similar drop down menu as with Edit. "Quick Topic" and "Full Topic" (or similar). I think this would be very very handy, especially if someone wants to post a short topic.

I saw this very nice non-default subforum layout, and I think it looks very nice. Much better than the default on any forum I have seen. Something like this added to the IPB default would be very nice.
