Plugin ideas

<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.

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

i was refering to a vote up down

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 ?

@Henrock @psychobunny
I think this can be make a different way: Launch a topic visible for only selected members.

@tedr56's idea is interesting.

As far as multi-user chat goes there would have to be a lot of revamp in there for that to work. It's still possible to write it as a plugin but perhaps you're right that it would be much easier to make its way into core. Right now I don' t see this as super high priority so I won't make an issue just yet. Would love to see a PR though if you're interested in taking it on!

I have a couple of ideas, let's see what I can do.
edit: I don't see your replies in the recent posts list btw @psychobunny , are you hidden in some way?

psychobunny

ah, the recent replies on the home page is just a widget that pulls data from the /recent view - so it will only show the most recent replier for that topic. Didn't realize that until now

Here's some more ideas that hopefully make it into plugin weekends of the future

Similar topics - when creating a new topic, you type into the composer's topic input box and perhaps a popover or something shows a list of topics that are relevant or perhaps even answer the question you're asking (inspired by StackOverflow)
Just start typing and get suggestions for categories / topics. Example if I wanted to go to the plugins category, I'd start typing p-l-u and then hit enter, voila I'm in this category. (inspired by Sublime Text Editor)

for #2, I want this. So I think I'll write it at some point maybe I know @trevor wanted this at some point wwaaaayyy back in 0.000001. He mentioned something about hash tag keyboard shortcuts (ex. start typing #post) to open composer)

p.s. what file do I have open? +1 rep if you guess right

Bri

ummmm topic.tpl? looks like something really interesting! could this be the long-awaited upvote / downvote feature??

EDIT: niiiice, I just saw the announcement!

A plugin to create a dogecoin address for each user and the ability to tip doge to each post, users should then be able to withdraw doge to there personal wallets.

It's an idea I really want to integrate into what I'm working on but I've only started with node & nodebb today.

TeX integration
Line-Numbers within code-blocks

toolito

Subforums
Chat with multiple users

@xCausxn I'd prefer proper and good integration with an actual CMS (Ghost in this case.)

... you mean like this?

I think you need a facebook / twitter / google+ embed plugin

Very very soon I'll release one embed plugin to rule them all.
