UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums News and Releases Announcements Changelog Discussions 7.3 Changelog Discussion

Well, I have the addon ported up to 7.3 now, I just need to figure out this issue with the markup panel (it's creating the popup at 0,0 vs just under the icon) then it'll be completed.

I'd like to see a category option under the category section that instead of having all of them collapsed you can choose which ones are collapsed or open individually.

Since there is an option to show all as collapsed, perhaps a pull down in the category settings that can be changed to open if you want certain ones unfolded instead of all collapsed or all open.

If I was a moderator of this forum I'd move that request to the sugguestions forum lol

Ian helped me figure out the issue I was having; so it's all ported up to 7.3; so time to wait to see what Rick decides on inclusion (or for pub beta to start so i can post the addon at ubbdev)

PayPal implementation?

7.3

Membership based forums would be good where you can set a member with an expiry date and they can access forums until they expire

Actually, where I said that ALL vanished, it does vanish on threads under 200 posts. It vanishes from the bottom of the page. You can select ALL from the forum index, but not from within the thread itself like you used to.

Any chance you can add the multiple identity checking mod in? really useful for catching people out.

I am holding out hope for a personal blog feature but I don't think its on the schedule for 7.3

It used to be like that in 6.5.x, but not yet in threads >=7. I'd love to see that back b.t.w.

Is paypal coming to this?

I believe this fits in with the payment system, which at least a basic implementation is slated for 7.3.

Not sure where we're standing on this in regards to 7.3; the permission schema is working Rick pretty well

Does this mean, no one can see the shoutbox unless they are part of the proper group? If not, it would be a nice addition.

well, unless they're in a group who has the permission flag set

Wasn't sure if it only limited them to posting and still being able to view

Can we amend the gallery posting screen to display the max file size that has been set for uploads so that people are aware. At the moment if you try and upload a picture that is too large it just fails and gives the user no feedback

How about adding a counter that is only visible to admins (or definable) onto a user that increases each time you have to move one of their posts, so that you can see how often you move a users post (and therefore can punish / humiliate accordingly).

Good point, or at least some form of warning at the point of uploading...?

I agree, took me a few to figure out what was goin on, lol

Would you be kind enough in 7.3 to allow us to edit the moved thread stubs.. it seems you cannot edit those once you have placed them.

I'm fairly sure in 6.5.x we could set an expiry for posts in a forum that would get automatically deleted after that time passed.. seems to have gone.

Also, I'm sure you could have a permission to allow people to post but not reply?

These would probably be better suited for the suggestions forum. It's doubtful we'll be adding too much more to 7.3 beyond the Group Permission rewrite and subscription stuff since those are both pretty big projects and we don't want there to be too big of a wait for 7.3 to be released.

Makes it sound so easy lol...

Well done < Happy >

7.3 Feature: Added the ability for users to be automatically added to a certain group once they reach a certain number of posts.


i like that one

Yes, I love the idea! I could VIP people for a REASON now :x...

I made a suggestion a while ago to have an option so that the User Title is based on time of registration, instead of post count.

Am I the only person who thinks you shouldn't value post count that highly? I would much rather acknowledge Quality over Quantity, but unfortunately there's no easy way to measure a user's Signal-to-Noise ratio.

Hence, I would prefer if titles were just based on how long someone's been around for. This way, even if a newbie to your forums goes crazy for a month with posting, he's still a newbie by title.

By VIP I mean I have a VIP forum, where content providers would have access; VIP users on my forum have no added abilities.

I would find 0 value in allowing "long term" people access over those who've actually posted... I have several people who came by years ago, posted a couple of times, and left; and sometimes come back... I would never think of making them vip users on my forum...

you can tagg forums not to add to a post count

When he had a usergroup change based on postcount, we did it with some homemade approval queue. We'd check their posts behavior and see if they were ok to stay or not.

It was for 6.5.5, but was basicly a list with everyone in the old group that fit the requirements (in our case, plus 100 posts), with links to view their post and profile.

Like the thinking behind that

Nice e-mail Changes SD

Fingers crossed Rick has a Hoooooge List to post lol

Nice isn't actually a good description on how cool the changes actually are

I'm a very happy camper seeing what's becoming of 7.3.

Really the only thing left besides minor tweaks is probably the paypal stuff. With everything else that's been done, there are a lot of changes in this version so just trying to get this done so we can get to private beta testing.

i have a coupla things left to see if they get in, but with Ricks stuff this is gonna be a lullapaloooza of a feature set add.. hehe

I'm so excited i could jump off a dolls house lol
and i will go as far as crushing a grape with expectations.

But I reckon the "paypal stuff" is a fairly major part of it, eh?

I think that this (paypal integration) could be quite a breakthrough in terms of a new customer base.

I'm certainly looking forward to it.

As you say for a larger customer base
Not quite sure if it has a place on my forums but we will see.

There all skint and cry poverty
And foolishly assume i'm minted. lol

(Minted = loads of money lol )

Mark, couldn't agree more - a lot of my users are IT contractors like myself, so the general concensus is that we're rolling in it. They just dont realise that someone (ie me) pays for the licenses, hosting fees and domain renewals and it all comes out of my bottom line.

I think the Paypal integration is a good step, even if its made voluntary.

Still think personal blog integration is a good idea - maybe 7.4?

Blogs were on the list for 7.3, but since it's taken longer than expected with all of the changes we had to bump it back. So, it's definitely going to be in the release after along with some other pretty substantial changes that we have planned
