Use less hard-coding.

One thing I'd like for IPB to adopt in the future is to reduce the amount of hard-coded templates. This will make it much easier to edit many common and uncommon aspects of the board, and thus, make customization even easier. Why can't just about little tweak be moved into the skin macros, so editing them is as simple as a click? It's highly impractical going through source file after source file just to change something.

Currently, installing mods in not convenient: you have to know how to patsh files, how to upload and so on. It whould be nice to facilitate such process. There is solution like a Mod Installer, but it's now enouth popular due to absence of centralised support. It whould be very good in include similar to MI system to IPB distribution. Can I know official opinion about?

Emblems (like group icons) but for posting in certain forums.

Can I suggest an addition to the Member Group Icons (Admin team, Moderator team etc) that a new set of images can be awarded (called Emblems or Awards) for reaching posting in specific one or more forums. I got the idea from TV.Com's forum. There you get an award for as an example, a small SCi-Fi related image for posting often in the Sci-Fi based forums and so on... The images could be uploaded into an awards or emblems skin folder. You could create and set awards for all types of uses dependant upon the subject matter of your forums. Another example, say you have a Fishkeeping Advice forum, members would be awarded a Yellow Tang Marine Fish award for having poste…

I think it would be great if a user could choose whether he wants to give his birthyear or note. E.G. My birthday is 15. Dec. 1986 but i only want the users to know that I was born on 15. Dec., I don't want them to know the year.

Subscriptions Manager Suggestions

July 9, 2005 by Guest air-head

1.7k views
I know sufficient updates to the subscriptions manager are being made, but it would be nice to be able to subscribe to more than one package (I don't know why only one is allowed in the first place) and to turn it into more of a billing system, adding the option of payment due dates and showing in the Admin CP (and for the client, perhaps as a global message like when you are notified you have a new PM) whether their payment is due, pending or late. What would probably be a major feature is sort of providing an Admin CP option to turn on 'support' for the forum. Perhaps when this option is on each user would only see the topics THEY have started in that forum, and groups …

It would be nice to see the formatting applied to usernames from a certain group shown forum wide, instead of just on the online list, or at least to have an option for this. This has probably been posted before. If not, I'm really surprised.

hello matt, it would be nice if you can add a feature were a modder can add a new template bit and could link an existing template bit with it. for example: original template bit: Forum Index->render_forum_row linked template bit. Mod Name->my_render_forum_row in the edit screen for render_forum_row you can add a link to my_render_forum_row. if the original template bit is loaded in any php source file, it would automaticly overwritten by the linked template file.

it would be nice, if you can add a setting in the groups managment, where we could set a "queue all post of this group" setting. currently you can only queue a post by members, but i think this option could be usefull esspecially for the guest group.

Converge "forums"

July 6, 2005 by Guest Wolfie

Just like converge member-base, but would be like linking forum-bases. For example, could make a Forum that wouldn't be treated as a forum, but more like a link, but when you 'enter' into it, it would follow the structure/rules of that database. As an example... [Root1] <announcements> <etc> [Root2=database#2] <forum1> <<subforum1>> ...etc... Of course, it wouldn't have to be a root, but the example was made to be simple. Only problem I could see would be trying to make it possible to post to that database, but otherwise, as a read-only, it could be a great feature.

Hi, in the near 2 or 3 weeks I would like to upgrade my IPB forums probably to version 2.0.4. My question is when will be availible the final v2.1 and if it will be in the near 3 or 4 weeks I will wait with the upgrade. I have searched the whole forums but I didn't found any release dates or even promices for release dates. I know this is not the right place to ask that, but I don't know where to ask. Thanks in advance.

Better modqueue options!

Hey, I don't know about you guys, but I think the modqueue feature is really cool... but not used for all it could be. I have a couple suggestions to extend the modqueue feature to do a little more. 1. "Post to Mod Queue" should be a new option between "Post New Topic" (or "Add Reply") and "Preview Post." That way, if you're not sure if something's allowed, rather than ask a mod, you could put it in the queue and let them approve or disapprove it. Example: I make a post about a file I found on BitTorrent, and I know talking about filesharing is a no-no, but the file in question isn't copyrighted. So I make a post about the file in general, post it, then make a reply…
