Documentation about this new IP.Board 3.3 feature
I'd just like to take a few minutes to give my thanks for this. I frequently have to make changes to my initdata.php file for my production and development boards, and having the option to have this file be read first and not have its constants overwritten by initdata.php makes upgrades so much easier.
For those of you on 3.3 and who ever need to make changes to their initdata.php files (for things like setting the default app, the ACP timeout value, etc.), check out this document and see how you can ensure your customizations will always stick around.

Speaking as a programmer myself, I would rather it went back to the old way. I don't write code in this editor, I paste code from other sources here that already have tabs in them. Even if your statement meant to imply that all programmers like the tab key doing the opposite of what browsers design it to do, not everyone who uses IP.Board is a programmer. I'd hate to see IPS get into any issues over the accessibility problems this change causes.
I find myself having to use the old editor most of the time because frankly I think a lot of the things like this tab functionality regression to be a pain with this new editor. It's just a shame that switching back to the old editor makes us lose all of the buttons. I'd at least like to be able to insert bbcode as actual bbcode tags by clicking a button rather than have to type them out all of the time, but I have to type them, because the CKEditor makes things too cumbersome.

I've been stuck with RTE... simply because i utterly refuse to type out the bbcodes when i type code all day every day ANYWAY....
It is supremely evil, and mangles code... and don't dare try to swap mid-edit...

That's an easy one.. if you are typing in anything in ckeditor that requires a tab the old approach tabbed out of the editor. Our heavy programmer-laden forum is chock full of people writing code blocks that necessitate the tab key. For an editor, it should absolutely be there.

#2226949 "Latest:" in subforums view

What is the reasoning for this? I don't understand what is meant by "Latest". Wouldn't it be better to keep this view consistent with the board index?

When you "Disable all" it remembers which hooks were previously enabled. If you click "Re-enable All" it only re-enables the hooks that were disabled by the previous "Disable All" action.
#2197844 Require Demo for Marketplace Files
Posted
on 17 November 2011 - 09:09 PM
Unfortunately, requiring a demo isn't feasible for reasons stated in this thread. Sometimes you simply can't demo a file. I would encourage authors to include one when possible, but I don't think it's possible to require one.
#2192308 Messenger 'there have been replies' suggestion
Posted

Just thinking about how useful the 'there have been replies' notice while you are composing a reply to a topic, I wonder if something similar could be added to the messenger.
This may be helpful where a large or busy conversation (obviously with several participants) is taking place.

#2116670 A constant for the SQL table prefix in the SQL toolbox
Posted
on 03 June 2011 - 07:36 AM
A lot of times we'll have to do things where we give people SQL queries to run to do things on their board. In those queries, the tables affected may or may not have a SQL table prefix on them, and if they do have one, it could be darn near anything. So if I give out a query to someone, the odds are pretty good they'll tell me they ran it and were told that table didn't exist. I then have to go into my spiel of explaining about SQL table prefixes.
What would be great would be if there was some constant that we could use in the queries we give people that the SQL toolbox would swap out with the table prefix on the board it is being run on.
So say we wanted to update all members to have a post count of 0. We could tell them to run a query like this:
Obviously this is a minor thing, and only beneficial for people who need to tell people queries to run against their site, but at the same time it should be a pretty easy thing to implement.

UPDATE #PREFIX#members SET posts=0;And then #PREFIX# would get swapped out with the SQL table prefix they use. That way, this query would always work.

#2113135 4.1 Suggestions
Posted
on 22 May 2011 - 02:44 PM
Attached is a screen grab from my site. I'm still running gallery 3. I think the following suggestions will improve Gallery 4 and remove many of the objections that I have read:
1. Allow gallery main page to be customized. I for example don't want to see recently added to albums or recently added comments. My main focus is on new images. I actually think my main gallery page as attached looks better than the mess we have now with Gallery 4. It's cleaner and you can actually see images. Perhaps this is possible? I don't know. I'm not game to upgrade to find out.
2. Allow thumbnails to be the same aspect ratio as that of the uploaded image. The screen grab shows this in action. I'm more than happy to have my pages looking like this.
Also allow us to decide the size of thumbnails. I don't know whether this is possible with Gallery 4 or not. It is with Gallery 3.
3. Allow us to disable cropping and zooming in of Album cover images. You can see the cropped image at the top left looks silly. The same thing is happening with Gallery 4 and with the very small new image thumbnails it's often hard to make out what the image is all about.
4. Allow stats to be displayed under each thumbnail. Recent images in Gallery 4 have nothing. How are we supposed to know who posted the image? Sure you can hover your mouse over the image but it's not the same as having there in the first place.
Thanks

Bro, everytime a person makes this thread ips blatantly ignores it.
The guy who made group format also is on the dev team and he also added a ton of hook point into 3.2. I'm willing to bet he added enough hook points so that group format will require almost no edits in 3.2 and he'll have it ready quite soon.
Or I'm just being too nice to the guy.
