[2.1B2] ACP Validating New Members

July 14, 2005 by Guest AtariAge
2 replies

2.1k views
When validating new members, can you please make it possible to click on a user's name to edit their information? Also, can you link the IP address so it goes to the IP tool? These would both save me some time when manually validating new users, and should be pretty simple changes to make. :) Thanks! ..Al

Different Installer Design

IPB is starting to expand more and more. So much that it has many redesigns done (think about it: IPB 2.1's ACP, IPB 2.0 BETA skin, etc.) Now that IPB 2.1 is comming out, I think it would be better to change the way the installation script looks. I was thinking like something along the lines of this: http://the-fiction-place.com/ipb_beta_installer/index.html (The links on the page don't work-- the button doesn't work either, I don't know how to make a button redirect to another page.) It's a very basic layout, inspired by the new Admin CP design. However, well, at least in my opinion, it looks much more professional when the user first installs the forum. Plus, with…

Stop Forums, that act as Categories, from showing sub-forums on Index.

I think having a forum which acts as a Category should stop it showing sub-forums on the Index Page. It doesn't seem logical to me to show sub-forums of a "category".

An option to clear a members name changing history in the acp would be good... anyone else agree? :) If it's already there, where is it, i looked but couldn't see it! Edit: also an option for you to set the login name to current display name and vice versa (at the touch of a button). moderators should also be allowed (admin setting on/off) to change member display name incase of inappropriate use.

Post Report Feature

I'd like to see an option for when people report posts... where you can set the behavior in the ACP to either PM reportd to all moderators or it would post the report in a new topic in a forum you specify. (it would act kind of like the trash bin, just slightly different) Example: forum "Reports" viewable only by moderators. When a user presses the "report!" button, instead of sending a PM. It dumps the report into a new topic in the "Reports" forum, or whatever forum you wish. This way mods could easily discuss the report and if there are lots of moderators... instead of wondering who is taking care of the report, someone can just reply and say "i'm on it" or what…

IPB 2.1 & IPB Portal Suggestions

June 21, 2005 by Guest John IV

I have a few suggestions for IPB Portal & IPB 2.1. IPB Portal Suggestions 1. Custom Content Blocks Obviously, the option to create your own blocks for IPB portal. 2. Change IPB Portal Layout Basically, change where content blocks and such are displayed on IPB Portal. 3. Random Poll I think there should be an option to select a random poll, in case you want a specific one. I REALLY want this feature!! 4. Custom Pages IPB Portal would be improved so much if it also had a built in Custom Pages system for users. This would be one less mod to install and it would make IPB a full website builder out of the box! IPB v2.1 Suggestions 1. A Moderating Center Ins…

mail_queue and systemvars cache

July 15, 2005 by Guest K. T. Walrus
2 replies

1.8k views
This isn't really a bug, but I think it isn't the best approach to keep a separate count of the number of rows in the mail_queue table in the systemvars cache. Seems to me that there is a potential for the count in the cache to not reflect the actual count in the table (resulting in mail in the queue not being serviced in a timely manner). Why go to all this trouble? Doing "select count(*) as count from ibf_mail_queue" is a query that is about as fast as you can get. MySQL doesn't even have to scan the table to count the rows as this count is maintained in the system tables for the database. Anyway, it is a small thing, but I think you should remove using this ex…

Bring back the "Board Home" option in the 2.1 ACP.

July 14, 2005 by Guest Quillz

I know this is trivial, but I noticed that the 2.1 ACP no longer has the "Board Home" link. In the 2.0 ACP, you would click on it, and your board's index would load in another window. When I'm in the ACP, I generally only have that window open, so it's annoying having to open a new tab or window and type in the URL to my board. It'd be nice for the IPB logo in the top-right of the 2.1 ACP to link back to your board's index page.

SQL, vast query improvements needed

July 13, 2005 by Guest cthree
7 replies

3.1k views
Suggestion: Optimize the SQL queries. Start by removing conditional operators from WHERE clauses, especially OR. MySQL cannot optimize a SELECT containing OR. The optimizer is not able to pick an index to use when OR is used so you get a full table scan. Next cut down the complexity of some queries to get simpler results. Do multiple queries instead of one big one. Complex queries take up massive amounts of server RAM for buffering the massive result. This means more per connection overhead and less RAM left for key buffers. You are going to get vastly improved performance by doing 4 simple queries rather than 1 query joining 4 tables, especially if the query selec…

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.

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…
