Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
XTF Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Some boards have 100+ forums but I'm only interested in a few (let's say 9). I could check out each forum for new topics / posts, but it'd be nicer if selected forums were aggregated into one. Could this be implemented?
eGullet Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 The easiest way to do it is to go to the "View New Content" view and then use the "Filter by Forum" option to select the forums you want to see.
XTF Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 It's a shame the dialog to select what Forums you'd like to use isn't user friendly. You also can't seem to save/bookmark your filters in case you'd like to have multiple different filters.

Sorry to break the news to you, but I'm not aware of any forum software that does what you're wanting. The only other thing you can do is subscribe to whatever forums you're interested in.

You can filter by category from the URL, by appending ?c=categoryID to the URL. For example here at IPS if you only wanted to see the category "IPS Client Services", you'd hit this URL: http://community.inv...ower.com/?c=307 You can also chain these together, like so: http://community.invisionpower.com/?c=307,451
XTF Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 Sorry to break the news to you, but I'm not aware of any forum software that does what you're wanting. What's your point? Is Invision afraid to be a leader?
XTF Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 You can also chain these together, like so: http://community.inv....com/?c=307,451 That's still just a forums list, I'm looking for a topics list (with all topics from a chosen set of forums).
KevinMc Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 What's your point? Is Invision afraid to be a leader? That makes...absolutely no sense. LOL
m3rk0rd Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 That makes...absolutely no sense. LOL Makes perfect sense. It's a rhetorical question asking why the fact that nobody else has done it should have anything to do with why IPS won't. I'm not saying I do or do not like the idea in general, but I agree with the OP's point that IPS should not base its decisions on what others are doing (not that they are).
Aiwa Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 As eGullet has mentioned, this is possible with the 'Filter by Forum'. As you don't appear to be satisfied with its 'user friendlieness', might I suggest you collect your feedback and put it together into a single concise post in this feedback forum with your suggestions for improvement? Also, you can certainly create a topic in the modification request forum to see if any developers want to tackle this feature to make it suit your needs more closely.
