HFE plugins selection to apply

I also dont know if it's a problem uploading too many of them at the admin cp, or a bad idea for our Forum's looks (probably our Admins will decide which plugin seems fine).

Usually it is not difficult to install a plugin. There are about 27 installed atm (whoa!). However plugins may have security flaws and endanger our site. This is why I pick carefully and do a rough check to the code and to the MyBB community forums plugin's thread.

The more plugins we have the bigger the server load, reason why I'd prefer not to install random plugins that are not that useful to the board. Sure you can give suggestions, though.

Actually there are about 11 plugins I had to modify. Either to fix bugs or make improvements.

The MyBB looks depends on html and css (obviously...). For the current 2 themes, I am using the default MyBB html templates, while the css (mostly colours) have been modified by me. It is not difficult to modify a theme, but it is a tedious process because I have to modify every single element's colours.

Installing a theme with a new html structure is possible, but then I'd need to modify the CSS to adapt our forum looks...
It is not a bad idea, but it is on second plan.

It is on my to-do list.



To-do:
  • All main site articles listed here and the HFX ones not listed.
  • Default avatar for each theme and gender. (already suggested at MyBB community, maybe they'll have this option on future MyBB versions)
  • Add more stuff to WYSIWYG and editor toolbar: (unfortunately not easy)
    • Alphabetic list in toolbar [list=a] (already tried, but because of a JS issue it seems not possible or more complicated)
    • [tab], [ident], [anchor_p], [anchor_l], [audio]
  • Make plugin to warn about posting in old threads under editor (should be easy)
  • Make plugin for User Map (more difficult, it's on 2nd plan)
  • Improve tables in posts
  • Show "Offline since..." when hovering over the offline icon below the user's avatar in a post.
  • Add Hero Fighter font to Editor.
  • Add avatar for HFE Bot
  • Calendar themes
  • Improve announcements plugin (right now the code modified is ugly)
  • Add option in UCP about forums to show and not show in the Overview.
