MyBB Ideas http://ideas.mybboard.net/ Feed for the latest ideas from the MyBB Ideas site Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:40:34 -0600 AvidCore BrowserID http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/browserid Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:38:11 -0600 http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/browserid It would be awesome if users could register and login with their BrowserID account. Take a look at http://www.browserid.org! This solution differs from OpenID (read: http://identity.mozilla.com/post/7669886...rom-openid ) and should be simpler to implent.

What do you think about this idea? :-)

]]> FTP Backup Script http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/ftp-backup-script Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:21:30 -0600 http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/ftp-backup-script Add a new function to the Backup Script that you can find under Task shedule:

Back Up to an FTP Server, you have to enter the informations of your ftp server, then the script will copy a backup of the mysql Database to your ftp server.

This would help much in case of an server crash....

]]> A framework for external authentication http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/a-framework-for-external-authentication Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:14:05 -0600 http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/a-framework-for-external-authentication A couple of similar ideas have already been submitted, but this is broader:  Add a set of hooks, to be used by plugins, that can replace the user-authentication methods found in the MyBB core (namely, against a password-hash stored in the database) with something else.  I'm specifically thinking of PAM, in the case of an *nix server, but the idea is that this would be implemented in a plugin that simply used those hooks.  That way (for example) an instance on a Windows server could use Windows credentials, or a MyBB instance could be set up to authenticate users against the LDAP directory that someone is /already using/ as part of a single-sign-on solution, in each case by using a suitable plugin.

As things stand, one would have to write a mod to achieve similar functionality, and then maintain it against any changes between MyBB versions.

As there are already ideas with the titles "Adding the authentication method LDAP Directory", and "Alternate Authentication Methods for AdminCP", there is clearly a demand for something like this.  It also would bring MyBB one step closer to usability in a Single Sign-On environment.

]]> Hide links until users thank!! http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/hide-links-until-users-thank Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:17:33 -0600 http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/hide-links-until-users-thank Hello everybody sorry if this idea might've already been posted but since i havent seen it i thought i would make a post anyways.

It would be cool to have a plugin that would work like the 'Thanks' button plugin were users would not be allowed to view the threads link until they've given 'Thanks' this would keep the OP track of who viewed the thread and how many people might've downloaded/viewed the attachment.

Again i apologize if this has already been mentioned..

]]> The same users in different groups on the showteam page. http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/the-same-users-in-different-groups-on-the-showteam Thu, 22 Dec 2011 07:08:34 -0600 http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/the-same-users-in-different-groups-on-the-showteam Hello !

It would be very nice if the same users could belong to different groups on the showteam page.

Example : Me in "Administrator" but in "Creator" with some other users too !

I hope it will be possible in a next myBB version (maybe 2.0 ?).

Thank you

I think you should release your downloads system as an "Official" MyBB Plugin.

Vote if you agree with me.

]]> Last seen date (group promo's) http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/last-seen-date-group-promos Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:28:45 -0600 http://ideas.mybboard.net/idea/last-seen-date-group-promos *copied from my topic on http://community.mybb.com/thread-106054.html *
would be great if this becomes a core feature.

Hello,

I am quite in need of a new thing in Group Promotions.
I'd like to have there also the option:
"Last seen date" greater than 3 weeks or so that the user then moves to a new group.

It's the same, but than a new option.. Would be awesome

PS. I need this for ppl who are inactive or so, that the users moves to an inactive group.

Hoping on feedback!

Thaanks,
Tankey
