Big Batch of Plugins for the forums to make us feel more at home

  • So, this forum is kinda empty when it comes to features. I think that having more would make this place feel much more like home.


    Forum PM Plugin:
    https://discuss.flarum.org/d/2…vate-messaging-for-flarum
    That plugin allows people to privately message each other like the old forums.


    Forum Signature Plugin:
    https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4222-signature-extension
    This one allows you to have a signature that'll appear at the bottom of very post. It does have the "incompatible" tag, but I'm not exactly sure what that means. That might be a concern.


    Minecraft Avatars Plugin:
    https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24468-minecraft-avatars
    Easy way to make your avatar a minecraft person!


    Google Login:
    https://discuss.flarum.org/d/18250-google-login
    Link your google account and login with that! (might actually be pretty controversial since a lot of people don't like google)


    Money Plugin:
    https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4699-money-extension
    This basically gives a type of TF-Coins system for the extension where you can give people money, and get money for posting. This could possibly be modified to have a shop to buy stuff with your money!


    Password Strength Plugin:
    https://discuss.flarum.org/d/26191-gb-password-strength
    We can have buff passwords 🦵


    "Cover" image for profiles
    https://github.com/SychO9/flarum-profile-cover


    User bio for profiles
    https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/user-bio
    I want to say that I like everyone's posts in my bio but then I realized I didn't have one!


    I'll think of more as I do stuff, and edit this post to show what more should be added. It's also fine to make more suggestions about forum plugins, and I'll edit this post to include them if you'd like.

  • i vouch as i think this will make shit better


    it's unfair to say a forum software is bad and doesn't meet your needs if you don't even put in any effort to try and make it meet your needs.


    i think the most important thing we need is for wild to wake up and fix the forums being extremely slow. no one cares if it's fast for exclusively wild. other people use the forums too

  • Due to the nightmare that is updating flarum and the absolute pain it is I have said we're only adding more plug-ins now that we are absolutely critical to the forums running. Cosmetic and quality of life plug-ins won't be added to flarum because it's not sustainable for updates.

  • @videogamesm12#8125 providing things don't keep going to shit with everything else I have to do as much as they have been, probably in the next 6 weeks to 2 months sort of time frame.

  • Based on the reply to the other thread, none of these look like they would be critical to running the forums, and given the additional complexity of upgrading when we have add-on's, I'm denying this suggestion.
