Okay, here is the thing: IPB 3.2 has a fundamental flaw. The idea to make more use for the avatar is a good one. Instant personalisation of all the content is possible. But you seem to deny the guests this feature. Because you have chopped the option, that guests are able to see the avatar. Guests can only see the avatar, when I enable them to see the WHOLE profile in the member group settings. But that I won't do. Guests should be able to see the avatars without being able to see the whole profile! Make this possible, soon.

I don't want that guests can sniff around, but I don't want them to see the blank member picture all over the site, too. That is just plain absurd. PLEASE change this, ASAP...

When you have a blog or news website that uses IP.Content, it's hard to set the 'teaser' for the homepage to include exactly what you want it to. If you have images or a Youtube video close to the top of the page (without having much text), it shows the image code or youtube code on the hoempage. It makes the page look ugly.

There's also the times you don't want to reveal too much on the article.

Please consider including a text area for 'teaser' text.

Thanks!

a simple prefix with search filter option in the search page.

pppppppppllllllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Im another who misses the old way of notifying pms. The new notification feature is great, however as an admin who recieves a fair few pms the dropdown preview of the pm was excellent if not for anything else but ignoring the rubbish.

The most wanted feature in last few years:

• close poll, but continue discussion in topic

I just had an idea...

• When clicking "View new content" or "active content" there should be a tab for All new content.

Like it is now, we have to click each tab to see new topics, new members, new help files, new whatever...
There should be an option to "view All new content" in one single tab.

Excellent idea. In fact, I'd go so far as to say ALL should be the default, with Forums tab next to it and the rest following on.

"Contact Us" tab form - ACP configurable on/off, recaptcha, challenge question etc

Automatic "Image Resizer" for uploaded pics - ACP configurable on/off, finished size settable etc.

These two items have fallen on deaf ears for years I have custom ones for both but they should be part of the software

Hi,

Would it be possible to add multiple categories in the newest version of IP.Content? To be able to choose multiple categories an article is in would be amazing. Tags is also such a key point and I'm surprised that there isn't one already there? Is this possible to add? It's very important to have tags on articles.

The other would be a 'bug' of sort. When you have an article that has bbcode in it, for example "asdf asdf asdf asdf asdfasdf asdf asdf asdf" and the article cutoff point for the main page is inbetween the bold tags, it makes the ENTIRE page bold, because it is missing the ending bbcode in the homepage view. It looks fine in article view, though. Please let me know if this is confusing.

Also, hate to ask but is there an estimate date of release? My new website is launching and Pagination is soo important to have that we absolutely require the new version of IPC.

Look & Feel > Skin Name > Board Index > boardindexTemplate > Find :

add after

<!-- sacred --> 
<php>
$theMember	= IPSMember::load($forum_data['last_poster_id'], 'core,extendedProfile');
if ( $theMember['avatar_location'] == ""){
$memberAvatar = "<img src='{$this->settings['img_url']}/profile/default_thumb.png' width='25px' height='25px' alt='Img'/>";

Then Find:

<a href='{parse url="showuser={$forum_data['last_poster_id']}" template="showuser" seotitle="{$forum_data['seo_last_name']}" base="public"}' title='{$this->lang->words['view_profile']}'>{$forum_data['last_poster_name']}</a>{parse template="user_popup" group="global" params="$forum_data['last_poster_id'], $forum_data['seo_last_name']"}

Replace it with

<div id="userAvatar">{$memberAvatar}<br><a href='{parse url="showuser={$forum_data['last_poster_id']}" template="showuser" seotitle="{$forum_data['seo_last_name']}" base="public"}' title='{$this->lang->words['view_profile']}'>{$forum_data['last_poster_name']}</a>{parse template="user_popup" group="global" params="$forum_data['last_poster_id'], $forum_data['seo_last_name']"}
</div>

Thats it .. again to resize the images you must apply the css part in my other posts

Also again
This is an ugly hack .. actually very ugly!!


Edit:: forgot to add that this will only show teh last poster avatar .. not the strater .. not sure if teh poster id is being passed and TBH im kinda lazy to look in forums class file

(I dare say IPS could use this as well.)

Suggestion 1

The current moderating team page is very generic. It shows a list of administrators, forum moderators, and global moderators. However, it does not differentiate between any user groups.

Example: (No, I don't use these groups)

Usergroup 1: Webmaster
Usergroup 2: Administrator
Usergroup 3: Trainee administrator
Usergroup 4: Super moderator
Usergroup 5: Moderator
Usergroup 6: Programmer (Moderates the programming forums)
Usergroup 7: Designer (Moderates the graphics forums)

If there were, say, 2 users in each group, I would normally expect each group to be shown separately. Example

Webmaster

Name 1, all forums, Reading main tracker index
Name 2, all forums, Viewing topic: I can't see my feet

Administrator

Name 3, all forums, Banning user: Spambot2146
Name 4, all forums, Viewing topic: Someone close this topic please

(Trainee administrator)
(Super moderator)
(Moderator)




However, it would be shown as:

Administrators

Name 1, all forums, Reading main tracker index
Name 2, all forums, Viewing topic: I can't see my feet
Name 3, all forums, Banning user: Spambot2146Name 4, all forums, Viewing topic: Someone close this topic please
Name 5, all forums, Offline
Name 6, all forums, Reading main tracker index

(Global Moderators)

(Forum Moderators)

Suggestion 2


I think there should be an option to hide a usergroup from the moderating team page, but not from the member list. At the moment, the only option is to remove them from both at once (afaik - I'm guessing that is what it does).

Yes, but I don't think that icon should be integrated with the forum icons. My suggestion is: let's drop the forum icons because they are repetitive and we get it. I don't think there is a necessity to point out what topic is a poll, what topic is moved, etc. Instead, just use topic author's avatar to replace the 10 years old forum icon and make the topic title bold when there are new posts in that topic. If a topic is a poll/closed/moved, we could just use a tiny tag (like "PINNED" or "ANNOUNCEMENT").

I think it would be more helpful if you indicated what exactly about the XF interface you feel is improved over IP.Board.  Sweeping statements like "make the UI better" are a touch hard to address, because every person has a different idea of what is better.  What do YOU think needs to be improved in IP.Board?

Pretty self explanatory. I'd like to pick more than one category for an article.

I want the exact same feature that exists in IP.Blogs. And while you're at it. Why not include the tags system from IP.Blogs too. You got the code, port it over.

Yea, I know vB has this - but the idea behind it is actually really really good. It prevents the user from having to upload the same content several times. It gives you sort of "your space" on the server and whenever you create a topic, blogpost or anything else that currently supports attachments, you will be able to attach any of the previous uploaded attachments. This is great when creating blogposts and want an image from a post you created, or vice versa. Even when creating new post and want to attach something you attached in another post.

It also lets you create virtual folders so you can organize your attachments, perhaps you want one set of subfolders to your mainfolder based on what type. I.e. 1 subfolder for images, 1 for scripts, etc. Then inside your images subfolder you can create other subfolders like "Artwork created by me" and "Tutorial images", etc.

You can even have a md5_file() method(that PHP supports) to prevent users from uploading the same image several times and boom - huge server space saver(if you're running an attachment heavy board that is).

It's a very nice system and very organized. I'm sure that IPB can make it even nicer when you put your minds to it.
Personally I think it's a killer feature.
