#2257780 Members - default sorting

Posted Feld0 on 20 April 2012 - 06:26 PM

+1. I would like this change, or at least an option to choose the sort order we want for our member list.


#2232092 IP.Board 3.1.x and Applications: End of Life Announcement

Posted IPS News on 17 February 2012 - 11:37 AM

IP.Board 3.1.x and Applications: End of Life Announcement

So that we can focus all of our development, support, and service efforts on the newest version 3.3, we are announcing the end of support (sometimes called end of life or EOL) for the following IPS software versions (and earlier versions):
  • IP.Board 3.1.x
  • IP.Blog 2.2.x
  • IP.Gallery 3.2.x
  • IP.Downloads 2.2.x
  • IP.Content 2.0.x
  • IP.Chat 1.1.x
  • IP.Nexus 1.1.x
Technical support, installations, and services will end for these products on August 1, 2012. On that date all technical or service requests will be advised to simply upgrade to the most recent versions of the products. We will not force upgrades but will also not be able to diagnose issues or answer questions relating to the older software. Also, on that date, IPS will no longer address any new issues or bugs reported in the older software versions.

You are of course free to continue using these older versions if you wish but IPS will no longer provide assistance after the EOL date.

Security Updates

In the event an issue is discovered impacting the security of these older versions of the software, IPS will provide a patch posted in our announcements forum. We will continue to provide security updates for several months after the EOL date based on severity of the issue.

Internet Explorer 7 Support


We announced our plans to start phasing out support for Internet Explorer 7 in December 2010 and have been slowly doing so. As of this date, IPS will no longer support Internet Explorer 7. This includes compatibility modes in newer browsers.


#2223146 New registration email

But in ACP we could have possibility to send those emails to all administrators. I want to inform ALL my admins about new registrations.

Actually I'd like to specify which admins get registration emails.  I have some admins who are in charge of membership, and others who are in charge of other things.  They don't all need to get the emais.


#2193459 ACP suggestion.... hover delay.

Posted Marcher Technologies on 08 November 2011 - 05:36 PM

I have no qualms with the acp menu structure, or positioning....
but when it vanishes before i can select an item because of mouse-out it is severely frustrating and un-intuitive...
and its something that annoys many... would it be so horrible to have a delay on mouse-out before the menu ninja-vanishes?
just my two cents....
when id rather click the application link than even attempt to use a sub-item... that's bad, right?


#2191418 Bring back the 3.1 standard editor as an option

Posted Matt on 04 November 2011 - 03:10 AM

The editor is going to get further updates in the next release of IP.Board. We are listening and taking all this feedback onboard.

We're not putting the trash can back :) I merely meant about fixing the header code.

I mean the link that leads to a serious site.

I agree with your previous post; I was just responding in general to grievers of non-intrusive copyrights.


#2180995 We need introduction

Posted 3DKiwi on 11 October 2011 - 01:01 PM

I would like to have an option for a one line message as well. It is a requirement of my forum that new members fill out what version of their software they are using. I want to add a message saying this and failure to do so will get the account deleted.

You might say just make this a compulsory field. That doesn't work with dropdowns. Whatever is the first option then gets used. I have too many options to use radio buttons.

3.1 had a registration tips panel as shown here. I want something the same in 3.2. There's a big blank space for it.

#2180609 Category and name title

Posted Marcher Technologies on 10 October 2011 - 01:30 PM

View PostAxel Wers, on 10 October 2011 - 09:38 AM, said:

I am talking about field: Category Name


Here is better example:

Here http://community.inv...ower.com/files/ you have in left sidebar some categories named by apps.

For exmaple there is IP.Content, it's shoort and good title for category.

When you click on that, in page title you'll see IP.Content too.

But I would like to have possibility to change it, for example title would be "IP.Content - list of our hooks and modifications"

I can fill field Category name byt this "IP.Content - list of our hooks and modifications" but in this case categories in that left sidebar would have the same titles and it's too long and unnecessary.

So what we need is two fields:

Field: Category name (it will be category name in list of categories)
and
Field: Category title (here I'll write what I want to see in <title></title>)
Pages themselves i could see a use for this as well, as the page name is effectively the page title, any Real title use of any length affects the page name, which i use in pages navigation hooks.... not ideal.

#2099746 IP.Board 3.2 - Statistic Graphs

Posted Rikki on 07 April 2011 - 10:42 AM

While 3.2 is now feature locked, improving the stats and reports we offer is going to be a key focus in later point releases.


#2076512 What's new in IP.Board 3.2.0 and related Apps (so far)

Posted Charles on 04 February 2011 - 08:41 AM

In our spirit of keeping everyone up to date, this topic will serve as a running list of what's new in IP.Board 3.2.0. As we make changes we will update this topic so check back now and then. This is not yet a complete list as we are still making changes, adding new features, and doing other work. If you don't see what you're looking for here just yet please check back later!

As always with IPS, everything listed here is not part of a "possible" roadmap. We will only post items on this list when they are 100% complete and included in IP.Board 3.2.0 so you can trust that what we post in public is what you will get.


Calendar Improvements

Moderator Functions

New Text Editor

AdminCP

Core Functionality


Miscellaneous Changes
  • "Delete All" button has been added to the SQL error logs page
  • Linear+ and Outline modes removed for topic viewing (they're a hold-over from an older time on the web and it's time to retire them)
  • Support for IPv6
  • You can now use the member management tools to search for incomplete members
  • Pagination added to the incomplete members page of the ACP
  • If only one skin or language is choosable, the dropdown selector at the bottom of the page will be hidden
  • Member photos and member avatars are being merged into one function: member photo. There was too much overlap between the two features.
  • IP.Calendar and IP.Chat will no longer be bundled in the IP.Board download zip to reduce the size of the download. This also allows clients who have no interest in IP.Chat or IP.Calendar to choose not to download or install those applications. Of course those who do wish to use those applications can easily download from the client area and install them.
  • Rebuild FURL cache button has been moved to the cache management page.
  • It is now possible to rename the “hooks” folder to something else editing the constant IPS_HOOKS_PATH in initdata.php.
  • You can now edit each group’s report center permissions directly from the group management area
  • Report center now supports item marking to remember and indicate which reports you’ve viewed
  • Customers who have purchased Copyright Removal no longer need to enter a separate Copyright Removal key. The copyright will automatically be removed when activating your license.
  • New settings for attachments to limit size of files stored on disk
  • Separate ACP restriction options have been added for managing spam users and incomplete users (access to these areas were previously controlled by the option “can manage banned users”).
  • “Show X Last visitors in profile” now shows always the last 5 visitors if the setting is enabled rather than having a 3, 5, 10 dropdown choice.
  • New ACP tool to create the cronjobs to rebuild sphinx indexes
  • When adding a ban filter in the ACP you will now have an option to enter a reason visible to all admins (the reason won’t show in the public side).
  • Pinned, polls, and moved topic prefixes have been moved to language files (they were previously in the settings area)
  • Many redundant or pointless settings removed. Other settings moved to more logical locations. Some settings groups merged to create fewer groups to go through when setting up your community. System Settings menu item moved to a top-level menu item under System tab so it's available with one-click anywhere in AdminCP.
  • The note box in your My Settings (UserCP) area has been removed. It is a hold-over from years past and doesn't seem to make sense in community software. If you are one of the very few people who use this: make a copy of your notes before upgrade.
  • The unread topic marking system will now remember what page of a topic you left off reading rather than assume you read the entire topic on the first click.


Other Important Changes
  • IP.Subscriptions, our simple application to allow you to sell member group promotions on your community, will be updated to work with IP.Board 3.2 but this will be the last update to IP.Subscriptions. IP.Subscriptions has been around for many years - long before communities were assumed to bring in revenue - and it's time to retire it to focus on our more modern application: IP.Nexus. With the release of IP.Board 3.2, IP.Subscriptions will be considered end of life (EOL) and will no longer be supported. Clients should switch to the new IP.Nexus product which is continually updated and contains many more opportunities to monetize your community. A member of our community, Andy Rixon, has agreed to take on continuing development of this product so those of you who use it will still have a solution.
  • The Portal application in IP.Board has existed from the very early days of our company. It was only ever intended as a simple portal and demo of the software but grew a bit over time. It has had minimal updates and the feature set is very minimal when compared to today's expectations of community owners and operators. The Portal application will not ship with IP.Board 3.2 and should be considered EOL. It will be available in the IPS Marketplace after IP.Board 3.2's release for those of you who do use it so you can still upgrade to 3.2. We will also post information on how to easily replicate the Portal's functionality in IP.Content which offers all that the old Portal did and much, much more. A member of our community, Andy Rixon, has agreed to take on continuing development of this product so those of you who use it will still have a solution.
  • As IP.Board 3.2 will have a whole new default skin, the CleanCut skin will become redundant and will therefore no longer be updated by IPS.



#2066864 test split

Posted AlexJ on 12 January 2011 - 12:49 PM

I could use it for non English speakers and assign few forum categories so that it only shows to them. Group can be kept open so I don't need to assign each user that group from ACP.

It can have many uses depending on how it gets implemented.
