A bit more diversity

It’s always good to learn new things, and since we released a new forum as of late, we’ve decided to have a go at our first MyBB plugin. This plugin will be of users who utilise the Newpoints plugin (though we will make it more compatible with future updates). More details will be announced with the imminent release of the plugin, since it is being made within whatever spare time available.

Just to keep you updated

We are aware of our original post regarding MyBB plugins, and just to ensure that people are updated on the matter of this, we have decided to hold of any development until the release on MyBB 1.6. However, in this time, we shall be continuing our work on wordpress plugin development.
We are currently thinking on improvements we can make to Easy Image Share, among which will be options added to the admin menu, such as changing the URL that is specified in the textarea’s and the ability to disable the HTML or BB codes so you can just display which code you want.

Plans for plugins

We feel we finally have a decent grasp of the whole MyBB system, we feel ready enough to announce some of our first planned plugins. Please be aware this is not a definite list, just plans for some we feel we are able enough to create at this moment in time. The current list stands as:

Minimum post count to use [URL] mycode
Paypal donation with a graphical target button
Hide from guest mycode
An army/rpg battle system
Newsletter system with opt in for guests
Link exchange system

These are just a few of our current ideas, there are currently more, but we want them to be a surprise to you. We will be starting with some of the more simple plugins for now, and then heading onto the bigger plugins when we gain more confidence in our ability to create plugins. Please be aware these plugins are currently being created for MyBB version 1.4.x, but we are aware of the upcoming 1.6 release.

Getting to grasps with MyBB

kaitora — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 14:32:56 +0000

So we’ve ran a few MyBB sites, and we still have one running, and coupling that with our knowledge of PHP, MySQL and some AJAX, we are taking the leap into creating some plugins. So after a bit of investigation work, we’ve learnt as much as we need to start with some plugins.

It will however be a short period of time before anything is released or is visible, and we intend to start with something small firstm just to ease us into the whole thing. However, when we’re move comfortable with it, we shall be heading onto more adventurous plugins, and extensions to some plugins that already exist.

If you have any ideas for some plugins you’d like to see, you can either PM us on MyBB Central (username Kaitora) or you can leave us a comment on this post, untill we set up the contact form and support forums.
