Let's talk about 2.4 baby

[cdub]

Let's bring the discussion back to something more fun like 2.4.

I'm looking forward to it. Custom field fun mostly.

What are you looking the most forward to?

• Custom Field Improvements: Searching!​

• Custom Field Improvements: Filtering and more!​

• GIF Providers: Implementing KLIPY support​

• XenForo 2.4 status and what's new under the hood?​

• PWA Improvements and Enhanced CSRF Protection​

• Flash Message Improvements and Development Update​

• Featured content improvements​

• Chunked uploads​

• Tiptap: A new editor for XenForo​

• Direct message labels​

• Add-on update notifications​

Ooh and direct message labels - that's going to be awesome.


Don't want to go through 752 pages of DMs

Possibly these two:

• Custom Field Improvements: Searching!​

• Custom Field Improvements: Filtering and more!​

'Coming Soon' for 21 months since Sept 2024. Last HYS almost 4 months ago.
At this stage, I consider it vapourware until I see otherwise.

After summer, in the midst of autumn, or more like in winter?

The only thing that's useful for my forum is the TipTap editor.
( other than the usual security / SEO type fixes )

The only thing that's useful for my forum is the TipTap editor.

Likewise and I'm even a bit meh on that. If it wasn't for the problems Froala has with Firefox, I would be fine with it. And I am probably the only FF user on my site.

TipTap has got 75% less errata and is more pleasurable to do advanced formatting with.
My site is nerdy, so that matters.

We implemented TipTap on another app, and it went very well.

As a longstanding Firefox user along with a substantial number of my members I was hoping to see Froala consigned to oblivion here a while ago.

I don't find it to be particularly good on chrome. Lots of behavioral bugs still, that will never get fixed.

Some features are important, but they are definitely late to the game. Proof of this is that some have taken 8 years to be implemented since they were first suggested, and until not long ago, there were free addons available. I wonder how long it would have taken a third-party developer to get a custom field filtering addon ready, for example... I'm convinced it wouldn't even take a month.

Could the solution be for XF to release their own addons instead of integrating everything into the core? Lately, I've noticed that some developers use a base addon to write the code and then specific addons to develop the concrete features...

Custom field filtering addon is already available - but it really should be baked into core XF.

That's what I said. With the question I wanted to emphasize that I don't think it's an overly complicated feature to implement, especially when there are developers who have already offered it for free.

What are you looking the most forward to?

...​

The actual release of 2.4

 

[VBX Co]

Tiptap - been eagerly awaiting it since Dec 2024!

 

[VBX Co]

... and the next release, if all goes to plan, will be 2.3.13

Oh well ...

- The updated WYSIWYG / TipTap editor.

Users will enjoy this. If this editor (on the public facing side) can be dynamically updated from the original GitHub repo releases and not be locked down to XF Release cycles, that would be amazing. Even more amazing is if we could load on 3rd party extensions to this editor - but that's a massive ask.​

- Add-on update notifications.

This will be one of the best under-the-hood features for the XF platform.​

- Wishlist: Much more native CDN/block-storage support with proper CDN file management controls.

Native support would mean I don't need to edit the config.php file to add a bunch of configuration overrides and credential information, it'd be self contained within the Admin Control Panel. Additionally, the uploading of purely static content (JavaScript, images, and some CSS) from the XF core to a CDN. I want to offload as much static stuff from the web server as possible.​

New editor is top of the list..

I need the built in REPL/console, would make testing code logic a bit faster, and I'm a person that likes to stay in the command line.
