This is a setting you can change. ACP > System Tab > System Settings > Search Setup > Minimum search word length.


#2232005 IPB missing some basic elements of a forum

Posted by Mike John on 17 February 2012 - 02:49 AM

What you consider a basic feature, others may consider bloated/useless functionality. There is only so much IPB can include by default but there are alternatives.

Search the IPS Marketplace for mods/hooks that do what you want. If you can't find a mod, request it in the modification request forum so modders/contributors know about your idea. In some cases a hook may not be able to do what you want but you can add customizations with file/template edits as well.


#2224642 No spam service for lifetime license holders!

Posted by Mike John on 25 January 2012 - 05:02 AM

Without trying to re-ignite the debate, IPS have stated a position on this here and I don't really see them changing it much. As for an alternative, search the IPS Marketplace for the keyword "spam" and you should find several mods to help combat the spam.


#2138169 Invision Silencing Unhappy Customers?

Posted by Mike John on 22 July 2011 - 11:53 PM

As a Perpetual license holder, I do somewhat understand where you are coming from in regards to legacy customers but wouldn't say it's a sinister plot to get more money/profit from me. I do think IPS are being gracious here by offering a conversion to the new license structure with additional services that does cost them more to deliver. To be fair, this particular discussion has been had many times with IPS already stating a position and plenty of opportunity for those who disagree to give feedback. The topic you link to went for 2 pages, so that's hardly squashing criticism.


#2118971 3.2 - Mark Community Read - why so complicated?

Posted by Mike John on 07 June 2011 - 07:10 AM

I use View New Content quite a bit and this would be my only problem with 3.2. It's not the biggest deal, only adds a scroll down to the bottom and a few clicks but as I view VNC several times an hour, I'm starting to notice it. Couple of suggestions I've been thinking of:

1. Change "Mark Community Read" to a delayed hover link, so you can mark the whole community read with one click but if you need to mark a specific application read, just wait for the hover to launch.
or
2. On the VNC page, add an option to "Mark (app_name) Read". So if you browsing the Forums, you would have an option to mark forums read. Example.


#2102860 Is this feature coming in 3.2.0?

Posted by Mike John on 16 April 2011 - 09:27 PM

I think Michael John will upgrade his plugin for 3.2


Yes I plan on upgrading all of my mods unless IPB makes any of them fully redundant.


#2050245 Add onGroupChange to members auto validation

Posted by Mike John on 01 December 2010 - 01:37 AM

Any chance that this can be added in the next version? This would make my Auto Welcome Members mod edit free and I'm sure could be useful to other modders.


#1959559 Add onGroupChange to members auto validation

Posted by Mike John on 28 May 2010 - 02:47 AM

Now that onGroupChange provides the old group id, I'm hoping to make one of my mods edit free (Auto Welcome Members). But there is no memberSync onGroupChange call for the members auto validation function. Just wanted to check is it possible that this can be added in v3.1.0 final?

I'm referring to admin/applications/core/modules_public/global/register.php - function _autoValidate - line 1012.


#1921768 Custom Services link

Posted by Mike John on 06 March 2010 - 05:11 AM

I was looking for the 'Custom Services' area to refer someone their who needed custom work but couldn't find the link without a Google search. A link somewhere in the resources area might help new members find it better.

I'm referring to this page here: http://community.inv...m_services.html


#1870828 Our forums are offline! - IPS driver error

Posted by Mike John on 24 October 2009 - 12:37 AM

For serious issues like this, it's probably best to open a support ticket, you should see a checkbox when opening your ticket for critical issues. While you wait for an IPS response, you could also post your ips driver error that other customers might be able to help with in the peer to peer support forums . You can get the exact IPS driver error in the forums/cache/ folder and find a file like this sql_error_log_##_##_##.cgi (replacing ##_##_## for month_day_year).

I'm just finishing a pm print / download hook now, should be available in the next few days. Can post some early pics if you like.


#1824814 Want feedback?

Posted by Mike John on 12 July 2009 - 07:44 AM

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.
