Quick Forum Name Edit
Quick Forum Name Edit lets administrators rename forums/subforums directly from the front-end (Forums index only), right where they’re already working. No need to jump into the Admin CP just to make a small change — simply edit the name in place and move on. It’s a small feature that can save you a surprising amount of time, especially when you’re organizing or refining your forum structure. For peace of mind, all changes are restricted to administrators and are automatically recorded in the Admin Logs, so you always have a clear history of what was updated.

Advanced Countdowns
Advanced Countdowns provides a flexible, visually appealing way to display countdowns across your community. Create and manage countdowns with four distinct display styles to match your design and use case: Circular – a modern, animated radial layout Inline – a compact, text-based format ideal for tight spaces Square – a clean, block-style presentation Outline – a minimal, lightweight variant with subtle styling Each countdown is driven by a target date and time, allowing you to count down to any event—launches, deadlines, announcements, or special occasions. Full timezone support ensures accuracy regardless of where your members are located. You can also create private countdowns, visible only to the member who created them. Administrators retain full visibility of all countdowns through the AdminCP, where they can also manage existing countdowns and configure application settings with ease. On the front end, countdowns can be edited or deleted by their owners, as well as by moderators with the appropriate permissions (this application adds two new permissions). Whether you need a simple inline timer or a bold visual centerpiece, Advanced Countdowns provides the flexibility to fit seamlessly into your community.

Weather
Weather adds two simple and elegant ways to view the weather for specific locations: a global icon in the user bar and a widget for your community, making it easy for members to check current conditions at a glance. Administrators can configure the default city, language, temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit), and wind speed unit (km/h or mph) directly from the AdminCP, allowing the widget to match the preferences of your community. Members can also personalize the experience by adding their own location directly in the widget. When they do, their chosen city will appear in a dedicated Weather tab on their profile, so other users can see the current weather in their area. The widget displays the current temperature, weather conditions, and additional details such as feels-like temperature, humidity, and wind speed, presented in a clean layout that integrates naturally with the IPS interface. To keep things efficient and avoid unnecessary API usage, the app uses a 1-hour cache for weather data, which helps ensure the free OpenWeather plan is more than enough for most communities. Key features: Configurable default city Configurable language Configurable temperature unit (°C or °F) Configurable wind speed unit (km/h or mph) Members can set their own location directly from the widget Member location is displayed in the Weather tab on the user profile 1-hour weather data cache to minimize API requests Clean, responsive design that fits naturally into the IPS framework A lightweight addition that brings a bit of real-world context to your community. 🌤️
