NodeBB Plugin & Theme Contest Bonanza 2014

meetdilip

There is a plugin request thread as well as this

Plugin contest Requests

May be we should use this thread to help ourselves make use of this plugin contest as well as let the developers know what we would be interested to have as ...

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

If you want to take a good look at available plugins, install NodeBB and check the plugin list through ACP.

@arasbm For published plugins the npmjs.org search would be best.
But most published plugins also have a topic within the plugin category.
If you're interested in what's on demand you most likely find it in the plugin category if the author wants you to know

There's also this which is the API powering the plugin list in the ACP. It still has a lot of work to go, we put it on the back burner atm to focus on more important things. Eventually it will be located at http://plugins.nodebb.org and will be linked to this community for comments ala blog comment plugin.

I just wanted to add that if you win the premium hosting packages, we will be more than happy to export data back to you to host on your own server after the year is up. Just let us know

@psychobunny I've updated Chinese version. https://nodebb.org.cn/topic/60/

Hmm hopefully I can get a decent plugin together by the end of the month. Some NBB gear would be neat to have. Shame I already released a "plugin" (to call it that is being generous), I'd prefer the odds of being in the newbie category

How can we participate ?

Lets try mine own plugin 0.0.1 release: https://github.com/svandecappelle/nodebb-plugin-charts

Meliodas

Cool :3 cannot wait to see the winning theme!

@svandecappelle, I think plugins only qualify if they are released for the first time this month.

So, other than myself, is anyone working on a last-minute submission?

arasbm

@Ted yeah I am almost done with my first plugin, going to submit it later tonight or tomorrow. There is still a whole day and some left in October

@arasbm, glad to see I'm not alone then

Schamper

Going to drop my submissions here, makes it easier for you guys I guess.
nodebb-plugin-reddit
nodebb-plugin-botler (kind of submission I suppose ;))

julian

Woo hoo! Thanks @Schamper

@Ted The first release was created on Oct 19, 2014

Tanner

My submission is the Tron theme, which is semi-quasi-almost-pretty-much-finished as it stands now.

[nodebb-theme-tron] Tron Theme for NodeBB

I'll take a look into a few of your todos now bud, the sidebar doesn't work on an iPad for example. Looks good though, may fork this to work on a template I'...

Here is the shortlist (actually, it's the complete list, but I just wanted to say "shortlist".) of entries for the Plugin & Theme Bonanza!

@JLChnToZ, nodebb-plugin-Niconico
@arasbm, nodebb-plugin-whoisin
@pitaj, nodebb-plugin-Calendar
@mani, nodebb-plugin-Github Card
@Almost, nodebb-plugin-Image Resizing
@JLChnToZ, nodebb-plugin-BiliBili
@tedr56, nodebb-plugin-Ted Talks
@a_5mith, nodebb-plugin-Codepen Embedding

Please let somebody know if you have a plugin or theme that we missed.

Polling begins shortly! (~24 hours)

Edit: Considering adding @Almost from BitBangers for http://bitbangers.co.uk/topic/132/nodebb-plugin-anchors

Edit:

nodebb-plugin-Charts (@svandecappelle) had a number of upgrades made to it the month of October, but it was technically started in May True to his word, the plugin was not released until October 19th, so it gets a bit grey there

nodebb-plugin-Teamspeak (@pitaj) was removed as it was started in late September, but was included initially as @pitaj is considered a new dev. We'll let the public decide (same with the teamspeak-widget plugin)

nodebb-plugin-codepen (@a_5mith) is still included as the npm registry lists its publish date as: "0.1.0": "2014-10-02T18:49:29.226Z, so again, grey, like the charts plugin

a_5mith

@julian You missed Tanners theme. Is it not good enough for entry? If I don't win, I'm taking my ball and going home!

julian

@Tanner Jury's out on that one, since it was started in August :shipit:

Also, it would happen to be the only theme on the poll, since Cucina was released Nov 2nd XD

@julian If we're only accepting plugins or themes that started in October, then doesn't that put nodebb-plugin-teamspeak, nodebb-plugin-codepen, nodebb-plugin-charts & nodebb-plugin-reddit out of contention too then? Seems strange to not accept a theme started before October, but plugins are fine. Mine included. Your competition, i can see why entering one theme into a theme competition is a little out there.

I'm also not sure about accepting plugins that don't work. Botler for example, as good as it sounds, has none of that functionality built in. It's just an admin menu that doesn't do anything.

From the ReadMe:

As of right now, this plugin is unusable. Currently this plugin is only interesting for other developers who want to have a shot at working on this.

That's right (that it's strange), there should be no exceptions, so I'll have to look into the commit dates for those and cull the list a bit
