What do you want to see in TP?

I also agree on the bugs issue... it is great if there is a known bug and a quick fix, that you see it in the admin an can install it thru a link in the admin. That would be great.

You mean like smaller update patches rather than full upgrades?

Yes Bloc, I would not mind seeing that.  Smaller update patches also addressing one or two bugs/issues might be better in the long run.  Its like my view on updating my Linux boxes.  I would rather install a few patches, make sure things still work then continue.   There are pluses and minuses to that approach as well. More work keeping up from your end.  But I think there might be a happy medium to get quicker patches out to the users esp for possible major issues. Just my $.02

that would be a neat add on...kinda like the one that smf does with the security patches

I was just reminded by Ken of a feature that has always bugged me about TP, possibly the only thing. LOL

Whenever you create an article category block, you cannot see who actually created the article in the block if it is not the site admin. It will always show the site admin as the creator of the article. It should show whoever created the article instead.

[Ken.]

To add further to Skhilled's feature request about articles:
It would be good if a site admin had the option to easily change 'ownership' on TP articles.

Many times I have found myself posting articles that should really be 'owned' by one of my members because the article content was actually produced/created by the member.
Here's a case in point; Old Tip
None of the content on the page is mine, yet it shows me as the author and while that's technically correct, imho it would be much better for the person who actually produced the content to be listed as the author of the article.

[Skhilled]

Exactly.

Yes... that would be great but... maybe it is going to be unorganized.. because if you have a have all those patches, then it is maybe hard for you.. because you have to make several versions and the user has to look carefully what he has installed.

But.. maybe you can do it like SMF arcade.. see in the admin which version you have, which version there is and can upgrade within the admin.

I like the idea of small updates; might be interesting to implement the fixes (should just go through the XML as any other) and could keep the waiting period down somewhat.

Variables and other TP-specific items could use detailed documenting...  :coolsmiley:

Some good stuff here, let's keep it coming!

I'd like to see TP reach out and take me by the hand. Before it does that however, I'd like to see it make me a nice double cheese burger with some chili fries. After that, I'd like to see TP break out the painting tools and finish painting my basement. And last but not least, I'm hoping it can help me with this rash that I've broke out in. Bloc, can you put all of these things in the next version? AND!, can you have it done by the weekend?

</sarcasm>

[bloc]

Sure! lol

Seriously, some great suggestions have come forth here already, many of which are very doable.
