Feature: Plugins
Developer: Arantor (main), Nao
Target: admins, modders
Status: 99% (a complete rewrite... Pretty much ready to go!)
Comment:
SMF 'packages' and 'mods' are now called 'plugins'.
Our goal here is to completely phase out file edits in favor of the use of hooks, so that admins no longer have no deal with plugin incompatibilities and tedious forum updates. Of course, it's not going to be easy... Which is why, like its Hook counterpart, this is still largely a work in progress.
October 7 update: Arantor implemented the new plugin system, which is a much bigger rewrite than originally expected, and more powerful as well. We're sure modders and users will both love it!
2013 update: it seems to be complete at last ;)
