Jbugman Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hello All,Well, I was expecting more from the update, although at the end of the date, its not supposed to be a feature released update. My problems/concerns1. Captcha - Its still highly weak IMHO, putting the graphic behind it doesnt really help. I was expecting more of a twisting letters like the google one. Its not hard to do and do safely.2. Lack of Acronym manager - Now I thought this would have been included, especially as you have some very public customers whom I sure this would have been a handy feature. Also, if you have changed all your preg_match I would have thought it would have been easier to include3. IMG tag - Doesnt seem to resize the incoming image, and still no option to allow images from your own domain which are dynamic. Any chance of adding in the extra filter for this?Apart from this, its a lovely update and shows just how nice IPB is compared to VB.One last thing, what is the super-duper feature that IPB expects all competitors to copy or am I just really blind (forgive me, only 2 hours of sleep and back to work!)J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBERHOST.NET Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 One last thing, what is the super-duper feature that IPB expects all competitors to copy...THE PRICING! :lol:Actually, it was the Personal Portal to which Matt was referring. But then, he probably said that on just two hours of sleep, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darksbane Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 You can add a custom BBcode for that...What the heck is an Acronym manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErwinB Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I don't really understand what he means by an "Acronym Manager", but to define an acronym in a post you can use a custom BBcode, so I don't think a new feature is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbugman Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hello All,Ah, ok, I have not experienced the portal as I don't use it, never mind.With regards to the acronym, I am not sure what your getting at. If a user posts say the words "Welcome to IPB", I want the user to be able to mouse over the words IPB and up pops a box saying "Invision Power Board". I do not want the user to have to put in something like [ definition ] IPB [/ definition ] for it to work (which is what bbcode is?)ThanksJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not hard to do and do safely.See my sig for the Captcha's I have made for IPB2.1.x.Are these any good (especially the GD2 enhanced).The GD2 enhanced uses random value for each character of the original code to give the font size, angle, pos x, pos y, font colo(u)r.Each charachter of the code is also shadowed (to give 3D effect) with random offsets of the values used in the original code to give the angle, pos x, pos y, font colo(u)rThe speckled overlay uses random colo(u)rs as does the lines that are overlayed.

Mat Barrie Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 what you want then sounds like exactly what the bad words filter dose (enter a word and it changes it to whatever you tell it to change to) not 100% sure ifIt can in fact be used in the badword filter :)I tried by making a BBCode, "defn", with option enabled. Replace with "<acronym title='{option}'>{content}</acronym>" - so you could enter "[defn=Invision Board]IPB[/defn]" and it would replace it with the widely accepted Acronym tag. In the badword filter, you could then replace "IPB" with that example and it would work.Unfortunately, you DO have to create the BBCode in the exact format I did, because IPB refuses to parse BBCode where content is before option in the replacement. So it does look rather counter-intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErwinB Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I still think the easyer way is to add a custom BBdoce. It's pretty easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbugman Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I have actually found two mods that combined together to do what I want, its just a shame that its not in the main core set of IPB.Never mind!J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
