Re: Posting Template (Force Text Into The First Post In A New Thread)
-----------------------------------
Nice shot... I like this, and I think other users will love this feature.

I have always been uncertain about adding this or not in default Icy Phoenix... if I ever come to finish what I'm doing with current forums table I may consider adding this mod, otherwise I won't, just because currently forums table is read every single page, and I don't like to charge that table with extra text field. For the same reason I striped out the rules.

Maybe an option would be to add this text template to the rules table, so we will automatically avoid extra charge.

Are you willing to have a try Lopalong?

It should not be tough... you just need to move the field to another table and change SQL requests accordingly.


P.S.: just for the records... I have removed current [b]admin_forums.php[/b] from Icy Phoenix and I will update only [b]admin_forums_extend.php[/b] which is better coded...
P.P.S.: Please remove [b]thumbs.db[/b] from the zip file as it is not needed... and disable thumbnails creation in your windows from Explorer => Folder Options.
P.P.P.S.: I have implemented a plugin system in Icy Phoenix, and I'm sure you will like it... as soon as I have finished to edit all files and I have an alpha release I'll show you how it works.
