.John Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 I have been thinking of some new features that could be included in Invision Power Board version 2.1.0. Here are some features that came up with. 1. Skin Set Catagories This feature would allow different catagories of skins to show in the Skin Selector. For example, I could have a catagory for "Light" skins and "Dark" skins and all skins that fit in the catagory would be included. This feature would help boards will a large amaount of skins. 2. PM Read Notification This feature would allow a user who has sent a PM can be notified if the user who recieved the PM has read it. 3. Link Directory This feature would display a few links under that copyright. 4. Post Marker Legend This feature would allow the administrator the option of being able to show a post marker legend under the "Board Stactistics" bit of the Board Stats. Those are some of my feature suggestions. Post any comments on these suggestions.
Jasonawojo Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 1. Skin Set CatagoriesGood Idea 2. PM Read NotificationCan already be done by tracking PMs 3. Link DirectoryNot needed, better left as custom coding work IMO 4. Post Marker LegendGood Idea :)
.John Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 More Suggestions! 5. Similair Threads List This feature would list similiar topics under the last post in a topic. 6. Permissions Legend This feature would show what permissions user or guests have in a topic and forum.
cooldude7273 Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Aren't 4 and 6 from other board systems? I like 4, and like the modification for it too. To add to 4, some places (like my board) have a User Color legend. IE, the Customers would be red, and management purple, like thisManagement | Customer | Members And they are bolded just like the admin sets :wub:
.John Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 Yes, some are taken from other BBs and some I have thought of myself. As to your suggestion, the option to display a User Legend would be very nice.
outlaw Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 1 and 2 are good ideas, maybe 4, 5-6 should just be left as modifications.
.John Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 1 and 2 are good ideas, maybe 4, 5-6 should just be left as modifications.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> What is the modification for number 5, similiar threads?
cooldude7273 Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 Thats a unique one, as Ive never seen a mod for it, nor seen the request for it.
mama pie Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 I would like to be able to sort my emoticons. So have all the sad ones put together, all the happy ones. At the moment they're all over the place so it can be a right PITA to find the one I want.

Ark Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 I WANT MORE SKINS PERIOD :-" [b]already have one... ssi.php[/b]<{POST_SNAPBACK}> ssi.php, how does that work.. it says page not found
Michael_C Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 Find it in the Tools_and_Scripts folder of the IPB distribution. It has instructions for use in the comments at the top of the file.
jpjsjsjspjpj Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 Ok...when you download IPB. There are folders. One says upload, one says Documentation, and the last one says Tools_and_Scripts. Open Tools_and_Scripts. Inside you will see the ssi.php file and a folder called ssi_templates. Open ssi.php in Dreamweaver or whatever editing app you use. Configure it to match your hosting and current details. It has instructions in the file. Then after it has been configured, upload the ssi.php file to your root forum directory. Also upload the entire ssi_templates folder to the root directory (ex: /root/ssi_templates/). Now just go to a URL (which you can find in the ssi.php file) and it will display the selected topics, member stats, posts, ect.
DjZvEr Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 #5 related topics is from other boards seen on alot of other boards. ssi.php work seen alot of people use it.
