I've used the maxmind database you linked to in personal mods. :)

1) It is updated periodically (monthly) so we'd need to keep it up to date
2) You must display a link/acknowledgement in documentation and advertising materials
3) To redistribute (this is the biggie) you have to purchase a commercial redistribution license.

Again....it's just one of those things better left to a modification in my mind. As I've done such mods, I know it's not that difficult to integrate this particular database.

You can always change it back in your skin if you want for the record. :)

Let's move this to the IPB feedback area, as it's more appropriate there.

There's no standardized way of looking up a country based on the IP. T his would require a complex, ever-changing database of IP-to-country mappings, or integration with a third party service (and all proper services I've seen are pay-only).

As such I think it's best left as a modification. A useful one, granted, but I'd still probably leave it for a custom modification nevertheless.

The quick reply loads all the editor JS once you click into it to speed up the general page loading a little bit. Statistically speaking, many more people read than reply. So by not loading/setting up the editor JS until it's needed, the page is done rendering quicker. :)

+1!

The background must be one image (normal and rollover)! :)

Rikki specifically avoided using sprites because many amateur or beginner skinners will have a harder time understanding them and how they work. You could of course change this in your own skin however.

FYI, I think Matt said he updated the CSS here this morning for the lofi skin.

I can say it's coming soon. As of right now it's been 2 weeks + 3 days. It's not like we're 3 months off from the estimate. ;) He did say "or so" which you should interpret to mean "plus or minus a week roughly".

Thanks Brandon. I created a new album and I now get the link in the drop down menu. I can't however delete either the new album or the old album and receive and error message:

[#1071] Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available.

Ok, now that I have that link I can get to my albums much like I could before to upload images so this issue can be crossed of my gripe list.

Ah, yes, I think we haven't given members permission to delete their albums here.

If I had known all we had to do to make 3.0 rock was link the ACP logo to the ACP home page I would have done it myself a long time ago.

<offtopic>I REALLY hate 3.0 fast reply.....

Why exactly? It's not significantly different from 2.x really.

You know what I'd love to see that would accomplish this too? A slide out "panel". e.g. imagine like the board index side panel, but closed by default. Just a small arrow on the side of the posting screen. When you click it, it can slide out with the poll, attachment and "other posting options" boxes.

90% of topics will just have the title/description and post field that way, which is what most people use. But then the other data is there for those that need/use it. Like you, just tossing out ideas. One downside to that idea is that it becomes trickier inserting attachments into the post area with that method.

I like the rollovers, but would *love* them if they could preload the background image for the rollover. The split second white bg trips me up a bit lol.

As already stated your modifications will not work on 3.0. You can't reinstall them, reapply the edits, etc. They simply won't work. You will need to contact the modification authors to find out if they have written updates for 3.0, or if they plan to.

You guys went through a lot of trouble - and still are - to abstract topic markers to the database but yet you aren't even making full use of it.

Errr, for the record, IPB2 sported database-based topic markers as well. ;) This isn't something new in 3.0. We've simply rewritten the system to try to make it more efficient.

Ok, tested locally and the lofi skin looks a ton better locally - seems the CSS isn't fully updated here. Will work with Matt to get it updated tomorrow on the company forums here.

Indeed. It was cutting edge technology. You should have patented it and sold it for millions to others.

I tease, I tease.

I'd find it pretty counter-productive to disallow a user from changing their email address. Just because you don't allow them to change it on your board doesn't mean it hasn't changed. If you don't allow them to update it, they simply won't receive your emails at all. :unsure:

To answer your question, no - there is no built in way to stop them from changing their email and there is no option to notify the admin when a user changes their email.

You can export CSV data from MySQL using phpmyadmin if you require a list like that.

Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying there.

All of IPB uses one JS language file, and the applications don't use any. You can set JS variables in the HTML source if need be. If having a JS langauge file is a necessity for you, the uninstallation routines from the application management screen support running a custom uninstall script - so you can use that to delete the JS files yourself.

As for the tabsUsed bit, the source code is encoded presently, but once it's not you can take a look at how we add the tabs.

This may be of help as well.

It's not a bug - something happened when we updated the co forums earlier. Working on it now.

Yes I have a gallery. It is here:

How old is the album? Is it possible that you created it during a previous beta version of the software, so your account was never flagged as having an album? Try creating a new album (and then delete it if you don't need it) to see if that resets your account.

Hey! I worked really really hard on that!!

Does it change my statement however? :P If I spent 6 years writing a calculator application for IPB, it would still be useless *for most members* nevertheless.

Just my .02 :whistle:

1. Add to information.xml structure fields <langsgroups> </langsgroups> for deletion lang files (like <templatesgroups>).

It's not needed. Language files need to be "(app)_(custom name).php" so we can already detect and remove language files by the application prefix. e.g. language files for the core application all start with "core_" - so when the application is removed we could just delete all language files starting with "core_". ;)

This would not allow you to have more than one tab for the application, though it's arguable if that's a bad thing or not. For the record, the group tab integration stuff already supports methods to set the tab ID number properly, but the members tab integration does not presently.

3. Place application tabs after already created system tabs.

Errr, they already are. :unsure:

Yes, it's possible to have multiple languages. What makes you think it's only possible to have one?

This is a feedback forum. If you need support please use the appropriate peer to peer support forums. :)

bfarber:

that is very cool that it's much easier to do this in 3.x :)

But wouldn't it be cool if it can be done via ACP? :shifty:

Problem is, everyone has different requirements. Easy enough to add group support in I suppose (though it would take a bit of work to make it ACP-configurable), but then someone will ask for secondary groups. Then custom profile fields. Then profile settings. Never ends.
