Re: No Link For You! (anti-spam)

This is how I see:

If it is " Disallow links before x posts ", it will be under board Settings.
If it is " Authorized for URL ", it will be under permissions.

If there are other RFCs that may be added to the core which depends on Auto group, then we might as well have Auto group on the core. If ...

Re: Setting to show IP address to Admins only

It would be unobtrusive enough to have as a permission that is automatically granted to moderators and admins so current behavior is kept and those that want to (OP) can change it as needed.
I agree. That's what I was suggesting too. Have it under moderator permissions in acp and the default can ...

Re: Setting to show IP address to Admins only

yeah sorry.. I was actually referring to permission when I said setting in subject. The current mod that I am using atm doesnt add a permission in acp instead I need to edit that mcp block manually so these blocks are only visible to admins or users and groups with global permissions.

This is the ...

Re: Setting to show IP address to Admins only

I am not asking to disable ip for moderators alltogether. Just a configuration in the acp where admins can choose yes or no permission to show IP address details for moderators or not. So boards that allows moderators to ban etc can enable them and boards that wants to reserve that rights to only ...

Permission Setting to show IP address to Admins only

ATM the ip addresses are visible to Moderators too in MCP isn't it? I have installed a separate mod to hide IP address information for moderators in mcp and have it visible to admins only. Wouldn't be useful to have a permission setting in acp to choose if moderators can view ip addresses or if this ...

Re: [RFC] Mass HTML email option in ACP

Yeah true... There won't be consistency similar to webpages. I guess it really depends on how the HTML email is designed. For simple designs the consistency shouldn't matter much but for more complicated HTML layout, it can be distorted if not designed right. So it does depend on how the admin ...

Does Sql queries need to be changed to MySqli or PDO_MySQL?

I am not very good with mysql and learning a bit of sql queries in php atm. I was looking into phpbb 3.1 core files to see how it is implemented here for examples. I then noticed that sql_query were used. I thought sql_query are now deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future.

So ...

Re: Uploading extensions via ACP

FTP would be the best option. I don't know how it will work if they allow it to be uploaded from acp. Wouldn't the max execution time and max upload size settings in server puts a limit on what we can upload from acp? If it does, then it will not work from acp if the ext package is big. After that ...
