Table helper
« on December 16th, 2011, 03:02 PM »
Something that I need to write sometime: a plugin that queries the tables, lets users pick a table (or tables), and it should output the XML that the plugin-info.xml file uses.

Doesn't need to be pretty but it would be a useful plugin builder tool.

Yup, because I figure people will make tables in phpMyAdmin, and this just allows for easy porting to the plugin system.

That's a plugin even I could use for non-plugin reasons... :P

Which reminds me, you still need to write an UI for checking/modifying the bbcode table ;)

I still need to write a UI for managing board access too...

Ok, you have convinced me that Wedge is SMF. :P

Difference being, SMF2 was done in less than a year, then the devs left and it stayed untouched (or barely) for years before going gold...
We've been on Wedge for a year, and we're not planning to leave before it goes gold... Heck, we're not planning to leave at all :P

Additionally, and yes I know you were joking, but I'm pretty proud of all the things we did so far with Wedge... Even though it's not out, much of the code we wrote this year has yet to find equivalents in the competition (or even non-competitor projects). I mean, if you ask me "what's the best possible menu code?", I'll tell you Wedge's. If you ask me, "do you know of a good CSS pre-processor in PHP?", the only answer is Wedge. If you go "I want a nice short and full-featured select box improvement", I'll go for my version of SB... And same for Pete's work. Haven't seen much happen in the SMF front in the last couple of years, I'm afraid!
