A suggestion

In the ACP when you hit the management bar always loads Category and Forums Overview screen first... This is not good because you might go there for member account or any account issues other than Category and Forums Overview...

Every time I go in (keep in mind my site has so many categories) every single time the program loads Category and Forums Overview.... In ACP it takes time to load that I do this so many time every day...

I recommend to IBP to make a little change to make Category and Forums Overview under management bar to show after a click... Not after you hit management bar....

I hope I am clear....

When you go to any tab, it's got to load some page by default. Which page would you suggest it load?

I don't see why it should slow you down by more than a second every time. If they take it away then what else would they put? Nothing?

Hey guys look at the stuation from this view....

Too many categories... The ACP is not loading only cat names, it loads informaiton, evething you need about CATS...

Big forum too many cats and so on... 100 000 users and so many times i need to go in to member bar to do some adjustments and so on ... Everytime i go in i have to load Category and Forums Overview.... You got the point... ;)

What should it load?

Just a simple page: Empty or Information page or somthing else... If i need to go in to Category and Forums Overview , i will click on the link on the left collum...

That's what i suggest and this is a good idea i believe...

I have always thought it might be a better idea to load a menu (a replica of the one down the side- maybe throw in some fancy javascript to make expanding categories for the settings) for all tabs except ADMIN - which already has a splash page.

That would be kinda cool, but then it would add to the overhead on every page, not just the Management tab. Right now, it doesn't know what all the menus are for each tab, just the tab you're currently on.

My suggestion is simple.... Just instead of loading Category and Forums Overview, put a simple frame page that area like a blank page with background image on it...
Then let admin choose where to go from there... Because all the links are on the left collumn

Or maybe an overview of what the tab is for, what you can do from it information on each sub section... loading a blank page would be even more pointless a very blunt object.

Please accept this, +1 from me. I have loads of forums and it takes ages to load the management tab.

Anybody from Invision care to reply on the chances of this being included?

Thanks

I would personally like that, I am working on a sample image of splash page, more to come tell me what you think. I have a few ideas throw into it too.

Nope. Haven't made any decision either way, and it's unlikely to be added to a point release.

I am sorry to hear that...
Because i am having such a hard time every time that i need to use Member section under Management...

Thanks,

There is a quick access box from the Admin tab home page - just enter the member name in and hit submit, and it does a member search (bypassing loading the forums page on the Management tab). From there you can click any of the other sidebar links.

Just as a temp workaround.

I am ok right now. What I am trying to say is this is not a good design for that tab... I am looking for a permanent fix for this... I can wait. Just let us know that you consider the idea

These are the functions under that tab. Any of those functions that you would like to use you have to load categories and all that stuff...

Since I ran into this today, a suggestion for those of you who might be having this problem, just open sources/acp_loaders/acp_content.php

Change

$this->ipsclass->input['act'] = 'forum';



to

$this->ipsclass->input['act'] = 'mem';

Excellent... Thank you...
Excellent... Thank you...



I think, if you go very often to add new member or another function, the possible solution is to add to your favorites direct shortcuts to them.

But the session ID would cut you out after the next day...

Yes, you're right for cut out part. But, once you logged in, you'll access directly to desired function and not admin tab.
Thanks
