.KX Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Something like this should really be default.Underneath the active users it should show a legend of all the groups, example:Root Admin | Admin | Global Moderator | Moderator | Validating | Member | Guest | BotIt is a very useful thing to have.
Quillz Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 That is exactly what FuSoYa's Group Legend in Board Stats hack does, which I assume will be updated for 2.2.
.KX Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 But wouldn't it be nice for this to be a default feature?
Strange_Will Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Definately needs to be default, your members SHOULD be able to know who is an admin/mod/user from the active bar, not guess what colors mean what.
bfarber Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Problem is, not every site uses the prefix/suffix - so in their 'legend' all group links would be identical and thus make no sense.
Michael Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 That is exactly what FuSoYa's Group Legend in Board Stats hack does, which I assume will be updated for 2.2.Already has been updated. ;)http://www.ipsbeyond.com/forums/index.php?...mp;showfile=620
Quillz Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 But wouldn't it be nice for this to be a default feature?I don't think it should be a stock feature, for the reason posted by brandon:Problem is, not every site uses the prefix/suffix - so in their 'legend' all group links would be identical and thus make no sense.This is something best left as a mod.Already has been updated. ;) http://www.ipsbeyond.com/forums/index.php?...mp;showfile=620I'm glad to see it's updated. I can't tell w/o downloading, though, if this uses the component system or not, which would make the mod much easier to manage. Does it?
Michael Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 You can't use components for everything. This is something that is integrated into the board/forum/topic views, there's no way to make it a component. The admin side does use the components system though.
Mark Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I would like to see it as default, as in 2.2 the admins are coloured, nobody will not not be using plain ones.However, I would like it to be customisable. I have 3 different staff groups that are all blue, now using FuS's mod, I would need to either: - Show all 3 groups, looks a little bit silly - Show 1 group, however only that group would be brought up when clicking on it.Stuff like that would need to be thought about first
Strange_Will Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Problem is, not every site uses the prefix/suffix - so in their 'legend' all group links would be identical and thus make no sense.Well then they wouldn't show if there is no suffix for it.The problem I see with leaving it a mod, is it requires a few skin edits, and some php edits, the reason I got away from PHPBB and into IPB was to get away from these nasty edits that eventually leave my board stuck at a version and impossible to upgrade.

ellawella Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Well then they wouldn't show if there is no suffix for it.Yeah, exactly, that was what I was thinking :blink:Personally, I see this mod used on so many sites that I think it would be well worth having as a standard feature, though preferably with an on/off option somewhere.
Michael Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 If they just put the mod into IPB as it is written right now, there is an on/off option.
ellawella Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 If they just put the mod into IPB as it is written right now, there is an on/off option.Well there you go, they haven't got their work cut out on this one, have they? :)
Michael Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Nope, would be pretty easy to include, but I doubt they will, based on the response in this topic.
UnitedPakistan Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Already has been updated. ;) http://www.ipsbeyond.com/forums/index.php?...mp;showfile=620No invisionize release? :whistle:
Michael Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 If you search Invisionize I'm sure you'll find some reference as to why I didn't release this, or any of my mods, there.
UnitedPakistan Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 LMAO, I just noticed someone made a replacement for your mod on IZE.
.KX Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 And that's funny because...? FuSoYa's is better anyway.
Sinistra Sensei Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 If you search Invisionize I'm sure you'll find some reference as to why I didn't release this, or any of my mods, there.on IZE anyone that has a pirated IPB can get hacks they want. The site needs to get a verification system like IPSB to keep the pirated boards from getting scripts for those that have paid for it.And that's funny because...? FuSoYa's is better anyway.you are right I trust FuSoYa's hacks mor then I do some other rip of the same hack. I trust only the top hack makers Dean, FuSoYa, bfander and maybe a few others if they have a quality hack I need but tose are my top 3 Now if we could get a good tutorial system out of one of them it would be GREAT LOL
Michael Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 And now because it's on IZE it'll get downloaded more, oh well.
UnitedPakistan Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 And now because it's on IZE it'll get downloaded more, oh well.Not all of us have decided to renew support since it is a waste to pay 30 dollars for a service you wont use. If they had a seaperate fee for downloading off IPSBEYOND that would spark more sales. :thumbsup:
Michael Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 There are other places to get my mods than IPSBeyond. And if the most well-known modders are releasing their work there, that makes the less than 10 cents a day for access to the site well worth it to me. Not to mention, what happens if your site gets hacked after you let your support license expire? You won't have access to the IPS techs to investigate what the problem is.

I thought that would be more of a server side issue?What would be the extent of help?
