#2239796 Suggestion - Profile Permissions

Posted CallieJo on 12 March 2012 - 02:29 AM

I would like to revisit this suggestion for some more feedback as it's important for our current project before we go live. Some of our partners have addressed some concerns about lacking profile privacy permissions. It's actually one reason we resorted to VB for another project we have. Most reasons had to do with profiles, sadly.

Does anyone have any idea on how to hack some friend only privacy permissions into the profiles? It would be greatly appreciated. If there is a mod (reasonably priced or free), please point me in that direction. Thank you.

#2220065 Option for members to purchase a Store Credit

Posted KitCarl on 12 January 2012 - 04:45 PM

I would like to be able to sell some inexpensive items ($1), but the transaction fee makes it unprofitable. If the member could purchase a $20 credit,  I could pay the transaction fee once and keep more $.


#2229222 Community Directory

Posted Robert_ja on 08 February 2012 - 01:12 AM

I'm wondering about the Community Directory. On the front end of the IPB site there's a link under Extras for listing your community in Community Directory. When I click the link I get an error

On the Right Side if this page (in dont forget about)

#2228864 Instant Notification Floods Followers

Posted boschk on 06 February 2012 - 10:15 PM

If you have a highly active board with forum & topic followers that want instant email notifications, when offline, sending a unique email for every single reply to a topic can flood your user's inbox. The intent of notifications is to bring members back to your site to interact, but the way the IPB does it now, it can flood a user's inbox and make them t'd off instead.

How it should work is that when offline, the user gets ONE email for the first unread post in topics they are following. That will draw them back to the topic and when there, they'll see the rest of the replies. I have a user that got 40 emails on a single topic over the weekend. That's just flat out annoying. Now, I know that he can set it up for a daily digest, our default site setting, but the fact is, there is just a better way to do it.

Please seriously consider overhauling this function.


#2228514 You cannot reply to this topic button

Posted boschk on 05 February 2012 - 09:37 PM

When you browse an IPB site as a guest, after the last topic, the reply button is greyed out and reads, "you cannot reply to this topic". IMHO, this is leaving money on the table so to speak. When someone reads a topic, there is a much higher probability that they have an opinion and may what to share it. Why not make the button read, "register to reply to this topic" and begin the process of registering to get into the game? Why state the negative "you cannot" instead of prompting a registration?


#2228127 Request for improved skin/add-on compatibility

Posted Ryan H. on 04 February 2012 - 03:48 PM

I created an install routine in one of my hooks to place some icons in every skin folder automatically, though it probably won't work for every server setup.

It is possible.

Spoiler

The code is free for use, by the way--I'd just appreciate some form of attribution if you do.

We used to store them in /admin/application_addon/other/appname/sources/images/ but ran into problems when people wanted to rename their admin folder.

View Post• Jay •, on 03 February 2012 - 02:32 AM, said:

The rest of the board files are able to adapt to a renamed admin folder, why not use the same %admin% style link to refer to the directory instead of the static /admin/etc format?

Having the images in the admin folder of the app (with the url visible to everyone) would totally defeat the purpose of renaming the admin folder to hide it... :ninja:

Posted Connor T on 03 February 2012 - 12:40 AM

Or another type of fix. Which is probably harder.

If the image cannot be found in the skin folder, check master for it. Then try and load it. Otherwise 404 the image.


#2226914 VNC "filter by forum" needs...

Posted chilihead on 31 January 2012 - 07:27 PM

When members use the filter by forum feature in VNC, when new forums are added to the site can you please have them added (if permissions allow) to their filter? The way it is now if you add forums they are not added. It should be a setting of "and future forums" like some of the other permissions, and if they don't want them to be added they can deselect. But by default they should be added, otherwise they are missing posts and don't know it. Thanks


#2226694 IPB & e-junkie/PayPal

Posted Alex Mangini on 31 January 2012 - 09:50 AM

I think I'll go ahead and use PB.Board + IP.Nexus then. Checked it all out and it looks amazing.

Thanks a lot for the help guys!


#2225783 Registration

https://www.keycaptcha.com/

I replied to a similar topic about this recently, but I really cannot recommended KeyCaptcha highly enough. I've been running it on my site for about a year and had fewer than 5 spam registrations since. I turned off the IPS spam service after running KeyCaptcha for a while as all it was catching was false positives.

This is where you are mistaken, imho. The feedback forum is an opportunity to voice our opinion in an area that is actively monitored by those who can facilitate change.  An outlet for constructive criticism and feature requests for the devs, not a favor we grant the company.

When we look at what types of topics are at present being collected by the Feedback forum, it is clear that the forum is extremely valuable for the developer - the experience with the products via our communities translated by us admins tests its practicality, popular features, areas to be abandoned, areas to be developed more. And If you like, it can be also expressed by profit, as I assume at least portion of the feedback (intellectual property of the posters) is implemented into the final product. From this point of view it feels illogical to see posts of admins/clients, who spent their time, and made photoshop illustration attached to their suggestion of how to make some at present weak areas of the code better - to see their posts are left without any response.

I don't think, Charles, spending a few words extra, would do any harm, I think contrary, maybe if you have motivated the admins to come with ideas there would be more constructive feedback topics and at the end all parties would benefit from it.

I really don't mean to make this big, I think I have expressed myself clearly, and I would like to emphasize, that I am a very satisfied customer, which is best proving the fact that I am with you for many years now running several happy niche communities. Keep doing the great work. If me 'feedback' is in some way inspiring, then it met its purpose.


#2225641 Insufficient response to our Feedback

Posted Charles on 28 January 2012 - 07:47 AM

We read all feedback and act in items all the time. Just look at the many blog entries on upcoming releasing of IP.Board and IP.Content for proof of that.

If we replied to every single post that's all we would do all day. We would then never have time to implement feedback :)

As you point out, a staff person didn't reply to your suggestion and I can see how you would focus only on your topic but that doesn't mean we are somehow neglecting client feedback.


#2221405 Admin CP: Log Everything.

Posted Ryan H. on 16 January 2012 - 10:29 AM

One frustration I've occasionally had with IP.Board is how many administrative actions are not logged. I think the logs should cover every action as much as possible--we should never be left saying, 'Well, the logs don't show anything... was something changed?'

Someone saves a settings group? Log it.
Rebuilds some stats? Log it.
Modifies a template bit? Log it.
Runs an SQL query? Log it [the query itself!].
Changes ACP Permissions? Log it.
Installs or disables an application/hook, or runs an upgrade? Log it.
Imports/exports a skin or language pack? Log it.
Removes logs? Log it!

Yeah?
