   Skinning guide in admin cp

   September 11, 2005 by Guest Kman_

   The 2.x series is very tedious to skin for, and for newbies it can indeed by overwhelming. I have made tons of skins for Invisionfree (which runs off of IPB 1.3x), and the 2.x skin is still overwhelming to me, mostly because there are so many areas, and I don't know what each one does. My suggestion is to have something in the admin cp that can help skinners out. There are two ways I have thought of to go about doing this: Either 1) Have info for each area in the Edit CSS Easy Mode (like in vB, they explain exactly what each area is so you know what it does) or 2) Link to something like this in the admin cp: http://www.duggyd.co.uk/css/ipb2_0/index.htm I…

   Is there anyway if you guys can make an addon for 2.1. that allows you to create new pages within and actually name the link, I know theres custom pages, but I think this would work better, I know you cant do most of the suggestions, but I hope you can read this :thumbsup:

   Just a really easy one for you, but would be so handy.. Could ya add a tiny bit of javascript to make it so when the AdminCP Login screen appears the password box has focus? I'm sure it would be appreciated.

   Backdoor Admin

   I think a backdoor admin would be great. Could be enabled or disabled and other settings found fit. It would not have a member No. Would not appear anywhere. Only root admins would have access to the config.

   Forum Permissions Templates

   September 9, 2005 by Guest JasonG

   I like most of my forums to have the same settings and permissions, which are all slightly off from the default. It would be nice to be able to select a custom default template, either by menu dropdown, or via a setting in the ACP, that would give the forum the proper settings and permission masks each time.

    I'd love to be able to restrict an individual users right to post in a particular thread. This could be used to prevent a user from furtherheated discussions on a particular thread without forcing them into either Mod Que or Posting restrictions or closing the thread.

    Customised Forms

    • 12 replies
    • 3.6k views

    Why not add a feature that allows the Board Admin to allow a specific forum to only use custom forms to his/her specification. This would be a great feature if you wanted for example to collect feedback from people about the board, or even specific information on a product that the forum relates to. Example: When you open the "Bug Feedback" forum and click "New Post", instead of being presented with the usual new post screen, you get text fields, drop downs and maybe tick boxes or radio buttons to complete. So you could have the field "Where did you find this bug?" and "What version of IPB are you using?" and "Please indicate what modules you have installed (Gallery / B…

    It would be cool to reset the member No., because on some forums the first member is member number 2 and it kinda bothers me. Or resync what ever it is called.

    Could this option be added to the forum options menu? I believe it would be very useful... It's really annoying having to mark each subforum at a time. It'd be great if this could be added before final, since it's not a major feature.

    [2.1 RC1] Topic Cut-off

    September 3, 2005 by Guest Smeg

    • 2 replies
    • 1.8k views

    Topic cut-off annoyance. You change a forum's topic cut-off to allow all the topics to be seen, you then view a topic, and then use the breadcrumb trail (navstrip) to go back to the list of topics and the cut-off has been reset to the forums default. EDIT: Come to think about it, this is probably more of a feature request than a bug, sorry.

    A search option in admin panel

    Hi This is something i multiple times needed but couldnt find, its a search function for the admin panel , that searches trough all words that are being used in the admin panel, for example a week ago i was searching for the converge settings. If in the admin search i would type converge for example it would show me a list with options that correspond with that word. This could be very handy for ppl that are just beginning invision users and dont have/want the time to search for certain options in the admin panel. :)

    [2.1] RSS Export

    OK, I have been playing with the RSS import / export on the new IPB. What I have noticed is that on the export it links as a link, not with a .RSS extension. Many simple, mobile RSS readers etc do not support RSS feeds without the .RSS or a .XML extension. Any chance of having the RSS export transpose into an .RSS file ? Regards, .Joel

    Add lang word to existing language file

    September 5, 2005 by Guest CheetahShrk

    • 1 reply
    • 1.9k views

    Don't know if its been suggested or not before, but one of the things I find ipb missing is the ability to add another language word to an existing language file, you can edit the language words but you can't add a new one. And I rather add a new language via acp then opening up ftp, downloading the lang file then adding the new word and reuploading.And also it appears in ipb 2.1 the lang files are considered as cache and that may be a problem if it works like the skin cache and you have to add a new language word.

    Forcing user login and display names to be different

    • 1.6k views

    For security purposes it would be nice when users are creating thier accounts in a 2.1+ IPB forum that there was an option to force them to select different names for thier login name and forum display names. Much harder to hack an account if you don't know the proper user name.

    Filter Bypass Option

    • 1.9k views

    I'd like to see an option for individual forums to be able to bypass IPB's integrated word filter. Perhaps an admin would want certain words filtered throughout most of the board, but they may have a section that they'd like to allow those words for whatever reason. With this feature, they could specify that the filter ignore that area of the board.

    Group Auto-Promote By Date

    September 4, 2005 by Guest • Jay •

    • 1 reply
    • 1.6k views

    I think it might be a good idea to allow admins the ability to auto-promote people from one group to another by date. For example, new registrations are placed in "Group A". The admin can specify that after "x" days those members may be automatically promoted to "Group B". Or be able to combine the 2, so that the member in "Group A" must have "n" posts as well as be registered for "x" days. This would allow for automated promotion without worry about members spamming posts to get promoted to the new group faster.
