I saw that, which inspired this thead.

About a decade ago now I released a plugin for vbulletin, which I was running at the time. I called it vbNetwork. It allowed different boards to network together and share one or more forums. The way it worked was pretty straight forward. AdminA of BoardA decides he wants to start a network...

I wrote this plugin for vBulletin back in 2010: https://github.com/zethon/vbnetwork At one point had 4-5 boards on my network. I was ahead of time. 😥 I've often thought of bringing something like this back for XenForo but I'm not sure how much interest there would be unless it had some other...

Really wish Xenforo had a left and right option. Seems the only solutions out there are either/or. I'd like to have widgets on both sides.

I look forward to it. I love the look of your board.

Will this allow us to get the look like on your forum www.joyfreak.com?

To expand on the last part a little bit, I think it would be wise for anyone using my AddOn to follow Reddit's model on this -- and that's to not have a parent node that lists all the children. Instead the user-created forums would be found organically through searches, users posting links, a...

I've started working on an AddOn to do this. My original thought is that Admins would be able to specify a Forum under which all user-created forums would go, and all user-created forums would inherit permissions from that parent forum. Eventually I want the AddOn to allow users to make their...

Any links to the unsuccessful project(s)? I'd be curious to see.

Putting aside the technical issues, is there any TOS violation for releasing or developing an AddOn that allows users to create their own forums, similar to how Reddit works. This AddOn would also allow those users to be moderators of the forums they created. Is there any TOS violation with this?

Easier for you. :) I have a couple categories with non-straight-forward permissions, and since there's no easy way to duplicate permissions from one node to another, I'm hesitant about changing something like that. Also, doing it with a forum creates an ugly display. For example, my board now...

If I have a xf:textboxrow item in a custom controller page, how could I invoke some action when the textbox loses focuses and update a specific hint. Is there a "Xenforo way" to do this? Or would I use standard Javascript?

That still doesn't help with scm.

I've developed a few open source addons, mostly for personal use. I have three different computers I use for development, so I make extensive use of source control to allow me to seamlessly move between them. This works fine for my day job (C++), but in my pursuit of writing some XF addons for...

Another option I think would be great is if the filters were color coded (or somehow style-coded) and then posts in the aggregated list showed in the style of the filter. It would make it easier to tell which content is from a sub-forum.
