IPB3: Banned User Management

The term 'ban' in IP.Board has a relatively loose definition and can often mean many different things. IP.Board supports an array of useful features to control access to the board, or in this case to restrict access to the board. Some examples of what 'ban' may refer to are IP address ban filters Email address ban filters Username ban filters Placing a user in the 'Banned' group Suspending the u…

IPB 3: Styling IPBoard 3

One of the first items we determined for IPBoard 3 was that it was going to ship with a brand new skin.

IPB 3: Making Templating Easier

HTML logic has been a feature of Invision Power Board for quite some time now. Although we didn't make much use of the '<foreach>' tag so that skins could be backwards compatible, we did make good use of the <if> <else /> logic. Now that we have a clean slate with v3.0, we can really make some positive changes. Invision Power Board 3.0 makes full use of the existing HTML logic and adds some more …

IPB 3: Creating a new framework using PHP 5

One of the biggest discussions we had during Invision Power Board 3.0's planning was whether or not to drop support for PHP 4 and require a minimum of PHP 5. The advantages of using only PHP 5 were numerous and we really felt like we could increase security and efficiency by taking advantage of the new PHP 5 features. This decision became much easier when we learned that PHP 4 was no longer being …
