iPBFree Community Forums: Suggestions: IPBFREE 3.0 “Phalanx” - Part 2 - iPBFree Community Forums

If you have suggestions for our next blog post about IPBFREE 3.0/Phalanx, please post them below.

Please include details about the new profile layouts for the next blog post! I can't wait! :)

• Profiles
  
• Search Features
  
• Admin CP

Just a few you can maybe share this early on.

Skinning/codes - changes in classes/ids etc

Don't you think that would be boring / pointless to non skinners to have loads of stuff about how the new skins work?

• Profiles (will there be "Latest Visitors" , "Comment Page" and About Me Page?)
  
• Member Legend (Is there any update to the Mod Installer Member Legend?)
  
• Board Statistics (Got any extra features?)
  
• Domain Installer (Is it still there?)
  
• Mod Installer (What are the Mod Installer's installed for iPBFree v3.0 Phalanx?)
  
• ShoutBox (Got any update for that?)
  
• Advertisements (Ad removals?)

That's all for now. I'm so excited with this Phalanx arrival! :)

Also, will it be possible to include the jQuery library? As an external source.

You could (by adding the library code to your template)...there are drawbacks. You will load more code, pages will be slower.

If you are using Jquery specifically for its selector capability, then you can get by without using the whole Jquery library. We use a stripped down version of jquery for this (it's already built in).

I wouldn't recommend using jquery if your code is like a few lines.

Well, is YUI majorly different from jQuery, and does it have the same capabilities? e.g. animation streamlining etc

The capabilities are about the same. It does not have chaining...YUI 3 does but it is too new (and components/plugins are not ready yet).

The animation on YUI is smoother than JQ.

YUI tends to be closer to javascript.

If there is going to be a skinning conversion mod, posting news about that might help. I would like to start working getting my skin converted before the switch over. This is my number one concern.

It'd be cool if I didn't have to use IPBFree's template. Perhaps a way to get data and then work it into a custom HTML layout? Like making a div that contains <% USERS ONLINE% > for a custom fit with the updated info. And <% FORUM (name) %> for each forum. Etc. Or some simpler way, the point is I'd prefer to put the values in a personalized design rather than <% BODY %> having everything you need jumbled up in a disagreeable HTML.

i've already imported the latest jquery script into my skins (which did fix some problems)... I guess i shall now have to set about learning YUI I think the thing i like most about jquery is that its selection module behaved similar to CSS selectors.

Laiam please, as though learning YUI for someone of your caliber will be difficult :)

@VoidPC Ad removal has already been confirmed for Phalanx.

Oh ok , connor

Extra stuff:

• Registration Form (If we type an available username, will it give the Tick sign?)

Urgh i've taken a look at YUI - I hate it!

We do not use YUI's selector module. We use a stripped down version of jquery's...

OMG I LOVE YOU! <3 <3 <3

Don't use it then. You don't have to use our libraries, load your own.

Anyway, what don't you like about it?

The syntax is not:

$('div > span.foo').action('x');

It is something like:

var x = I.S('div > span.foo');
loop through x
{
action on x;
}

Quote

Changing my mind... Thing i liked most is the Entire syntax...

if we could somehow marry the jquery syntax with the YUI functionality.... something to think about for AFTER phalanx is released.
