You can compare the changes in modified template bits (if your template bits aren't modified they automatically inherit changes so it's not really needed). There's a differences tool built into the ACP for this. Additionally, when viewing individual template bits there's a button at the top that lets you see the current template bit you are viewing compared to the default. Same with CSS.

Additionally, when we release updates we post template difference reports as you can see here:

Its a bit different, but I'm working on one for neowin.net. I'll most likely end up releasing it (with different graphics) after ipb3 final comes out.

I've already posted somewhere the modifications you'd need to make to do this. Heck, I'll post it on the resource site right now...

And done

For security reasons our parsing classes strip out javascript.

You can already translate the text on your own site, as stated before (just edit the applications/modules from the Manage Applications page). This is only an issue if you need MULTI-language setups, and very few users do.

I've already stated this particular issue I can look into later. There's an intermediate solution already for your own boards. I'm not sure what more you expect right now I'm afraid. We're doing the best we can. Just language abstracting the ACP for 3.x took me *weeks* as it is. We are at a point now where we cannot spend a ton of time making things that are stored in the database language abstractable but I will look into it in the next release.

Would take seconds to add back into the skin if we don't manage to get to it before final fyi ;)

We have quite a bit going on, and can't get to everything for sure. Have you seen the bug tracker today? :wacko:

1) The link itself points to the "get first post" action (get first unread post) so there's no need for a secondary link for this

2) View new posts shows all unread posts (instead of posts since last visit). We're considering an option to change this in a future version but it's not a bug exactly (it's intended for 3.0).

Menus are something we can do. It's even easier than you suggest Luke - we can look for a language key *if it exists* (like we do in some other areas already) and if not just use what is in the database (lang key based on app_module or something like that).

The problem is, this isn't going to please everyone. Someone else already mentioned forum rules and board rules and so forth - it's just not easily feasible to handle EVERY text that is stored in the database in every language available. The ACP is language abstracted now, just as the front end is. The text that is displayed is now in a language file, where it's not stored in the database. This is the same as the front end. Over time we can work to tweak additional areas that are easy to implement, such as the menus.

Unfortunately, some data is stored in the database, and we do not make this translatable in most cases. The same goes for posts you submit (and data like it, such as the topic title). You cannot translate this data to each language.

As stated, please post bugs in the bug tracker. :)

Matt's screenshot is from 3.0. There are more enhanced spamming options in 3.0. :)

Besides that, Google's servers are probably a tad faster than yours. ;)

But yes, parallel downloading is the primary reason to use a CDN to load content like prototype/scriptaculous.

What locale did you set? You might need to append ".UTF8" to it, for instance.

*Noting that a bug in the betas and RC1 caused the screen not to display where you were asked if you wanted to convert PMs - should be fixed for RC2

It does indicate it on the performance mode page, but I can see your point. I believe the status is stored in the caches somewhere, so it would be possible to load it on the front end easy enough and show an indicator (it would probably be a 10 second skin edit in all reality...)

$caches = $this->registry->getCache('performanceCache'); </php> <if test="count($caches)"> Performance mode is enabled! </if>

<php>

Something like that. :)

Please use the tracker to report bugs. This issue has been reported, is confirmed, and will be fixed before IPB3 reaches final stages.

Not a bad idea.

The phrases in the left column are stored under Manage Applications & Modules in the System tab. You will need to edit each module if you wish to change it's language string.

In the future please be sure to post bugs in the Tracker. :) That way you'll be sure we see it and act on it appropriately.

This particular issue is already addressed however.

Just keep a backup of the file. :)

Something to consider in the future

They do, but you shouldn't judge by what you see here on the forums alone. :) He could have a perpetual license and not require support, for instance. Or his client area account could be under a different email address.

Modifications, by and large, shouldn't mess anything up. That's not to say none will, but I can't think of any off the top of my head that should.

I am not of the opinion that one should enforce THEIR personal password systems upon others. I hate some of the sites I visit because you must have x number of chars and at least x must be letters or numbers and you must have x number of special characters - quite frankly it's my account and I should be the one concerned with whether it gets hacked or not (so long as I do not have some sort of elevated access).

That said, as I said before, it wouldn't be difficult to add a setting for this.

We don't actually retrieve the permissions directly (indeed I'm not sure if we can, though I haven't looked into it much). We simply check if writable directories/files are infact writable.
