Plugins / [Plugin] User Mentions v1.0 (9th March 2013)
« on March 8th, 2013, 09:03 PM »
ID: Dragooon:WeMentions
Version: 1.0
GitHub: http://github.com/Dragooon/WeMentions
License: New BSD
Requires: Dragooon:WeNotif
Permissions declared: mention_member
BBCodes declared: @
This is actually the first thing I thought when I was making the notification system, but I waited till the core was complete enough. So here it is, allows a user to mention another one via @username which then sends a notification. I took a bit of inspiration from XenForo's [bd] Tag Me plugin for some of the behaviour quirks that I couldn't decide upon.

Ah okay, that sort of clears things up. I'll wait till one actually commits this to Display to play with it.

By context bits I mean like the message author part, the block is called under the Display template's main loop. Now I wanna show each member's topic by post ratio multiplied by their DOB, so I inject a template at the end of <msg_author> skeleton, how would that work? Would I have access to the current post's information which is being displayed?

I started this topic, apparently :PQuote Wouldn't that simply make things even slower? Parsing the skeleton and then testing would be slower than directly having an if (), although it'll be little more readable since everything would be in an XML-esque space. But either way I like the splitting of template bits into smaller pieces, that certainly gives a lot of flexibility. I have one question though, how would one grab the context of the template bits? I mean they're called in loops, how will the plugin know the current variable and process accordingly?
- Adding the tests directly into the skeleton tree: I guess we could do it in several possible ways...

Honestly this option should be removed and enabled by default, I've seen no service which doesn't save messages automatically. Plus it's not like it's a real space saver, and it's a pain when you want to switch to conversation view but don't have any sent messages. Also remove the entire "Save a copy in my outbox" while sending PMs, same reasoning.
For the love of god, the title was Remove "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default.". I call bug.

Why not move the entire language structure to XML file which is directly loaded into DB, and automatically loaded when the plugin is requested? Hell that way you can have a central translation repository through some official mirror which is loaded via the plugin server.

If it breaks something when you enable 'compatibility', it's not exactly compatible... :lol:

The only real advantage a native app has is better integration into the OS, with push notifications et all along with access to the corr APIs which can sometime help in cases such as uploading. Speed and accessibility can also be said as advantages but that's debatable. This is coming from a guy who developed the tapatalk plugin for SMF :P.

Off-topic / Re: System visitations: vB 3.8.7
« on February 24th, 2013, 03:55 PM »
I think this is open for discussion right?
Replying to the paid subs stuff, since that's one of the most interesting topics for me.Quote A couple of things,
1) I'm fairly sure SMF can easily support the different backends, the information is not all that different. Although the API itself in SMF needs improvement (I've said this before).
2) The different currency is actually pretty useful for a lot of people, I've helped with a very, very large vB forum (http://twcenter.net/forums, helped upgrade from vB 3.7 to 4.2, was a bitch of a task) and they find that there members prefer to pay in their own currency (saves conversion charges on their side).
3) The multiple gateways also help a lot, mostly PayPal, 2checkout and recently Google Checkout from what I've observed. AlertPay (Payza now a days?) is also a pretty good alternative for those in India.
4) Logging of transaction is also pretty useful especially if multiple gateways are supported, I'd love that even now. Saves having to log into the respective gateway's site and cross checking anything. Plus it can also help to see if any subscription/payment wasn't awarded without any actual payment.

More interestingly, you can set the price of subscriptions in multiple currencies at once - USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD right from the off, plus setting the subscription length. Built in are PayPal, NOCHEX, Worldpay, Authorize.Net, 2Checkout, Moneybookers, CCBill. Some immediately curious matters - different backends require different information (something I'm not sure SMF/Wedge currently support), as well as having different currency support (also not sure it's supported). More interestingly, transactions are actually logged, so you can do searches and so on.

I have a few specific points I'd like to mention, but before that, why did you go with vB 3 and not 4?
