@xCausxn We have markdown for that

PLUGIN WEEKENDS

We decided that from now on, we'll have a competition between the three of us @baris @julian. During the week we'll try (our best) to work on core (and in ge...

Markdown is cool but it would be good if it had colors, BBCODEs exectra

Ye but the whole point of having Markdown is to get rid of bbcode

@Mr_Waffle

There are many variants of Markdown. Do you know of anyone with support for colors?

julian

A plugin to add colour markup (e.g. [color=red]) would be pretty straightforward, I'd think... could even exist on top of the markdown plugin.

As it stands, though, there are no plans to add colours to the markdown plugin.

If you like bbcode, somebody actually wrote a bbcode plugin https://github.com/adarqui/nodebb-plugin-bbcode

@psychobunny The above plugin made the forum not work :P, also another idea for a plugin would be a like/dislike feature on the posts

Schamper

@xCausxn there's a favourite feature what's pretty similar to that.

xCausxn

@Mr_Waffle i know but i would like to be able to dislike it too

finid

@xCausxn, I believe @Mr_Waffle is referring to a vote up/down feature. That's completely different from the favorite feature.

Schamper

@planner I know what he's referring to, I'm just saying that favourites is similar to a "vote up" plugin only with a different name. It's just lacking the "vote down" feature

<baris>

We are having that discussion internally too, ie adding up/down buttons to posts and making favourite just add the post to your favourites. The reputation of the post and user will then be tied to the the amount of up/downs they get. We still haven't decided on what to do.

What about a plugin for none devs to upload a background image to their site?

julian

Sounds like something you could do with plugin-42...

<script>
  document.body.style.background = "url('urlToImage') #000";
</script>

@julian Thank you

I'm thinking of making a plugin that enables you to chat to multiple users in the same chat, a la Facebook messenger.
However when I look in the chat code I see theres a lot to be done to make it "pluginnable", maybe it's better to implement this functionality into the core?
What do you say @psychobunny ?
