The problem is we don't want to reveal too much about how the system works or spammers could just find a way to trick it...

yes document 5.a section 45c paragraph 96a subsection D clearly states "Anyone who creates a avatar that is similar or representative of a members of staff's will be eaten by Lindy and then regurgitated and burnt".

You would have to get the licence holder (or one of their approved alternate contacts) to open a Ticket in the Client Center about this.

I see you have an invisionzone URL so it may be best to open a Hosting ticket initially. :)

It would be great if the "Reason for edit" box is available for all members, not only for mods.

Thanks guys :blush:

Completely agree, along with Alex, Andy and the many others who work in the background. They don't get enough credit or recognition for the work they put in.

This isn't directed at the software but at an individual, maybe consider a feeback spot for staff or devs or whatever.

I have to say that out of everyone (everyone being staff/devs in this case) who is here, terabyte has helped me (with code error) more than all other staff/devs combined. He's a credit to the dev team and knows his stuff.

Not long winded today so to sum it up: Thanks tb for your assistance buddy and thanks to whomever put him as a dev.

peace

I have to agree completely. I try to stalk terabyte around so that I don't miss any important posts he has made. This is especially true in the tracker and he seems to provide fixes for bugs he finds.. Crazy!

Keep up the good work Tera!

Why are the user agents not simple like they were in 2.x.x? I cannot for the life of me figure out why when I see I have a guest online check the IP and reverse lookup the IP it shows as googlebot, yet it doesn't show in my online list, so the bot is crawling yet it doesn't say that 'Google' is online, I have it set to show in the online list, and allow the search engines to browse as members yet 99% of the time they don't show in the online list, I think I've seen google show as "online" maybe twice since IPB3 Final. When I was using 2.x.x it always showed all the bots when they were online, and it was a simple list to import into the ACP, now it's all this crazy regex stuff that I cannot for the life of me figure out...

Example:

Googles Regex is:


Googl(e|ebot)(-Image)?/

IPS have no documentation what so ever on how to work with this new system, I for one have NO clue, any chance it can be more user friendly for the typical end user, all I want is to display the bots in the online list when they are on my site?

I don't have access to raw logs so I can't even find out the info from the logs, I've seen 4 different bots online now that are in the user agents list yet they DO NOT show in the online list.

This topic reminded me of something > http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/286583-chmod-back-after-instalation/ , its not a bug as its always been that way...

I do think it would be nice if there was a remind on the last page of the upgrader / installer routing to warn you to chmod conf_global back down again.

Perhaps a better option, a warning in the ACP (similar to the warning box about /install/index.php still being present) warning you conf_global is writeable. I know its already done in the security center ;) , but new admin's may not visit that section for a while.

Just a passing thought :)

I could not actually find it on there apart from the combined one, so made another one quickly, but you have seen it anyway and are writing one for 3.0 (which will mean one less one for me) :)

What about a new constant? "HOOK_EDIT_MODE", or something. As with any other constants, place that in initdata.php, and setting that to 1, would enable those edit sections. Which would allow any administrators to edit the hooks, without facing any security risks by putting the whole board IN_DEV.

It's simply new is all. Once you get used to it, it makes a lot of sense, and allows applications to be complete segregated and sectioned off from the rest of the code. Add a folder and you're done. Delete a folder and files for the app are gone. A lot cleaner than having to upload your files to 10 different folders (and then trying to remember what to remove).



userInfoPane is in skin_global. You can include one skin template directly from another skin template now, so you won't see this called in the source files pretty much at all. Instead you'll see this in skin templates


{parse include="userInfoPane" group="global" params="$params"}

Which means the skin template will output the results from skin_global -> userInfoPane (passing $params to it) wherever you see that tag.





A lot of this is covered in articles on the resource site.

Outputting content I don't think I've written an article on, though I'm sure we can do so.

That article is primarily related to upgrading an application, yes. However, it goes into detail about the file structure, what files can do what, and so on. It's very useful so long as you are familiar with how to do things in 2.3.




We said we were shooting for a June release, and to my knowledge we still are. We expect an RC2 and at this time that is the only further RC release I am aware of in the works.



The thing was, we were shooting for December originally. But then we had so much great feedback with the preview site we were determined not to ignore it simply for the sake of rushing the release out. We wanted to incorporate as much as possible that made sense. The spam controls were greatly enhanced. Facebook Connect was added. The personal conversations changed a lot. Friendly URLs changed a lot and were made extensible. And we won't talk about the skin changes. A ton was changed due to feedback we received, and while it has delayed our original release plans, I think in the long run everyone will agree that IPB as a product is better because of the changes.



The subscription manager is nearing completion from my understanding. It will definitely be out for testing before IPB3 goes final.

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".

Looking at the Bug Tracker is one way to keep up on things etc. Although there is more to it than that :)

Hey! I worked really really hard on that!!

Thanks guys, go nuts and test it out as much as you can. Please don't be alarmed if we seem to take a minor step back with some stuff, I've fiddled with a few things, mostly:
