To be honest, newsgroups and the older BBs software used threaded mode, which evolved into the current linear display used by most bulletin board softwares (as I understand it at least - I'm a whippersnapper after all). Assuming I'm remembering this correctly, we'd be going *backwards* to enhance threaded mode. I tend to believe most people are moving away from it, not towards it.

You can leave the logging disabled, but add into your code the ability to log and pass a parameter that overrides the enabled/disabled global flag. * Add a message to the log file * Handy for __destruct stuff, etc * * @access public * @param string Message to add * @param string Which file to add it to * @param mixed False, or an array of vars to include in log * @param bool Force log even if IPS_LOG_ALL is off - handy for on-the-fly debugging * @param bool Unlink file before writing * @return void */ static public function addLogMessage( $message, $file='debugLog', $array=FALSE, $force=FALSE, $unlink=FALSE ) /**

Hmm. Well, we already have moderator and admin logs, and error logging. I don't think activity logging really fits inline with any of that, however. I'd tend to think activity logging would need to be custom implemented myself. There is separate debug logging if that's what you need.

I think on the whole, 99% of our users don't really use threaded mode, or at least don't use it often. As a result, there's very little demand for improvements to it's functionality.

[Suggestion] Changing language direction in the editor
bfarber replied to Ahmed Abdullah's topic in Feedback
Make a custom bbcode called "ltr" or something, then have the replacement code like <div dir="ltr">{content}</div > It would be relatively simple to do. -
File Name: (Obsolete) BBCode IDM File File Submitter: bfarber File Submitted: 03 Oct 2009 File Category: Miscellaneous XML Files Not suitable for use with v3.2.x or later The file custom BBCode allows you to add an IDM file to a post, you only need the file number in order to add a link. Example... [file=4]HashTab[/file] translates to a link in your IDM system. Click here to download this file

Mat is right - if you really want to do it, you can. But the potential for problems is too high, and the likely usage too low, that I don't think it's a wise idea for us to include this in the base product. Just my thoughts.

Forumer does not use a stock IPB. You should get in touch with the software vendor you are using to doublecheck - I'm afraid we wouldn't have any way to tell you what you can do using another software package. :)

If those were the only days you had registrations they would be the only days to show up, I'd imagine.

I'm a yankee. "pretty good" is a relatively common expression here. "pretty well" is less common, even if it is proper.

We don't really care if you restyle the copyright, so long as it remains visible. i.e. you can change the color of the link, but you can't make it the same color as your page background (effectively hiding it). You can generally do that mostly through CSS without actually editing the copyright code itself in the source file fyi.
-
If the biggest mistake we've made was neglecting the post icons, I think we're doing pretty good myself. :)
-
This particular issue has already been reported.
-
I'd venture to say it's unrealistic to expect that we'll ever write that sort of detailed documentation on every table and column in IPB. While I wouldn't have a problem doing it, I don't personally have the time to do such a thing at this time (and I'm sure all of the developers will say the same).
-
I'd tend to agree.
-
Woohoo.
-
No real reason. I've made them public.

If you want someone to create this as a mod for you, you should post in Modification Requests

We did look into this and discussed it, however it turns out that the technicalities in implementing the changes needed are a bit challenging, and we decided not to try to make these changes in a minor point release. If we implement changes to give hooks access to the foreach data, it's unlikely to happen before 3.1 I'm afraid.
-
I think the links section we will be opened up to everyone to view. Will have to see.

I have no idea, really. It was done probably in the easiest and most reliable fashion. The skin template parsing engine uses a whole bunch of voodoo magic to get it running as reliably as it runs. ;) Joking aside, I don't know why it's not executed in place, and I don't know that this will change. Probably because the most common use/need is to set a quick variable that you will use within the same template bit, and by calling a separate function you can't (as easily) do that.
-
The only other pseudo html tag is <php> which allows you to execute raw PHP code. e.g. <php>print "Hello World";</php> <div>Some text Be aware though - code inside <php></php> tags is put at the very beginning of the skin template (NOT necessarily where you put it within the template itself when editing the template), which can affect your PHP code. For instance, this wouldn't work <foreach loop="$variable as $var"> {$var}<br /> </foreach> <php>$variable = array( 1, 2 );</php> $variable will be a localized variable in this case (scope) while foreach loops actually generate functions in the compiled php template file, and $variable won't be set there.

Try looking through the resource site links to find skinners. :) http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/links.html?category=16

Polls I can agree with, but I disagree about reputation. Even if a topic is closed, a post may have a high value (or low value) that I may want to issue my reputation vote for. For instance, what if the second post provided an in depth explanation on how to do something, but some later posts derailed the topic and caused it to get closed. I don't see why the poster who took the time to explain something in detail couldn't still get reputation for their post. Similarly, the person/people who derailed the topic should get lowered if appropriate.

You have the same problems either way (of course, this all depends on how many forums, your config, etc. etc. etc.).
