Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
kenshin_warior Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 1) Have it come with more skins ( like you get a certain skin from 1Lotus in addition) 2) Integration with Mambo and PHPNuke (until IP.Dynamic comes out) 3) Have it come with integrated PHPAdsNew, or your own ad service, that has permissions (ie: Subscribers don't view ads, but guests and normal members do) 4) Add support for slicing up Invision Power Board so you can place them in frames on your site. 5) Better documentation 6) Less $$$ 7) Font system, so you can install custom .ttf fonts onto your server and use them (unlike the mod, where the user has to download the font first) And a couple of questions: 1) Was this made on Mac OS X? 2) Is there any way I could (with 1 license) host multiple boards, on the same domain, just different directorys, because Invisionfree and iPBfree did it, but they only use 1.3. Coul I do the same with 2.0?
Cesar M. Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 They have resellers. IF and IPBFree. They already have an integration with Nuke. Called IPB Nuke. Which supports 1.3 and below. I doubt there will be any of the other integratiosn though.
kenshin_warior Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Well, I prefer Mambo. Anyway, iPBfree and Invisionfree ar free, I wouldn't call them resellers.
Cesar M. Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Yuck Mambo. >< PHP-Nuke and IPB-Nuke are the best. But we have our own opinions. I highly doubt they're going to have their products on anymore CMS's.
outlaw Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 1) Just go to a resource site for more skins. 2) Sounds unneeded to have built in 3) Same as above 4) Sounds unneeded in the special case that someone wants it they can always work out how to do it themselves. 5) That
kenshin_warior Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 1) No freakin duh, but give them the option so you don't get 3rd party crap, maybe $15 discount or something 2) Would be very nice until IP.Dynamic is out 3) Same as above? Whatta ya mean? 4) Yes, but not as well as if it were a built in feature 5) They have like 5 documents in the documentation section. Completely useless. 6) Obviously, but just a suggestion. 7) Not the security images dummy, just plain fonts, anywhere. I know how, but the user has to download it first, really annoying And Invisionize has crappy skins, all they have is support and mods IMO.
outlaw Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 http://www.invisionboard.com/?resources If you think they are all crap on all of those sites you wont be happy very much, anytime. Font manager would be worthless, regardless.
kenshin_warior Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 vv Whatever vv 1lotus.com extremepixels.com Font manager would be useful, for pixel fonts n stuff.
outlaw Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Font manager wouldn't do anything to be added to IPB, as the usage of TTF fonts was removed in IPB 2.0. So adding one wouldn't make much sense.

Maybe I'm too new at this but I don't see an option to purchase 1.3 (and even if I did, I then wouldn't be able to get the new enhancementes available from 2.0). Am I missing something?

I've emailed them 3 times, PM'd twice. I give up. They must not like me. Oh well. Sort of funny how some third party sites don't even make the disclaimer requirements that I wasted the time to actually add to my site. Yeah I know *whine, whine* :-"
pk62004 Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 And please add a feature to set which group can use which skin set.
JohnJH Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 I just love these sort of posts... Gimme Gimme Gimme plus "6) Less $$$"
kenshin_warior Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 New idea: IPB Builder, an application that helps build IPB from external program ( Make it compatible with Mac OS X and Windows XP, and some Linux.). So it would be like a forum administrator on your desktop, but also helps you build it when you first install, etc...

To afford this software, you gotta be doing real well in the $$$ department. For a lot* of people, they can't afford these prices. Invision is expensive. Damn Invision Services for making it not free. Grr.
kenshin_warior Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 That's great for you. Anyway, also, when is IP.Dynamic coming out, will it integrate with all other Invision Products?

Am I missing something?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> When you download IPB-Nuke.. It comes with it. And IPB-Nuke, is never gonna get IPB 2.0.x of any kind, I bet.. So really if you can't get a license for 2.0.x, and you really want a IPB board. Then get a webhost that offers Fantastico Delux or something like that, or use IPB Nuke. Better than nothing...

I think that being able to download skins from other sites is a better idea. :thumbsup:
kenshin_warior Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 What abou Sleekskins? Or Extreme Pixels? BTW, not everyone agrees on the default skin ;) lol
outlaw Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Thats probably why they added a skin manager so you can add new ones. ;)
kenshin_warior Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Mehbeh... :ph34r: But after spending all that $$$ on IPB, It'd be nice to have a black 1lotus skin *forgets what it's called* for free. I'm perfectly fine with what you get, cuz I just make my own skins and gfx or whatever *or go to Invisionize*, but for some ppl, I think they'd like this. What about the questions I listed? I'm almost positive this was developed on Mac OS X...
