Most Incredible. This is something that we can do with Showcase RIGHT NOW???

Yes and No.... Its in the newest version (which has not been released yet) and it was made available to select license holders to test. I integrated it on the Demo a few days ago (to see how quick google would pick them up, which was pretty fast considering I don't so any SEO lol). I've also helped a couple others integrated it for beta testing (like Nick on backcountrypost.com)... some of his showcase items are also starting to display the rating microdata. I'll post a 'how to' tomorrow on the support site for those that want to manually integrate it now instead of waiting for the next release to come out.
 
A couple of questions - can I rename the showcase tab?
Will the showcase automatically recolour to my forum or do I need to colour adjust?
Does it accept html codes?
:)

Yes, the main tab and all the sub links are phrased.

I use core xenforo CSS classes throughout, so as long as the custom style uses core xenforo classes, you will be ok. I've yet to find anyone that has had any trouble.

you can with this addon: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/html-bbcode-permission-protected-paid.31824/

NOTE: this requires a custom edit which is very easy to apply (and documented at the support forum).
 
Not sure whether you want to do this but i noticed links are not parsed from items when they are migrated to for forum_list. I'm sure it was by design bob, anychance of the option to have them displaying? Screenshot below specifically the text "[ released ]" from the screenshot is a link when you go into the items but it doesn't inherit over so the suggestion to have an option for them to do so bobster. Great work enjoying this add-on. :)

Can some of you using this post of yours? I am interested to see just how this is being used, especially for Automotive sites.

Here's an example of my Showcase item at www.xFShowcase.com you can do with the Showcase item.

Here's an example of Tabbed BB Codes by Rigel: http://www.8thos.com/show/stroman-a-michael-jackson-fan-fiction.2/

Here are examples of showcases item that has images in the tabs:

When I was updating this addon, I've noticed that my addon user privacy option was reset after sending a "profile post" (after posting a message on the user profile). It seems the problem comes from the fact that the showcase addon is loading the user controller when saving a profile post. I've found a solution to fix my addon (=> use a conditional to only modify the field when the variable is inside the request) but other addons might have the same problem. If you can look if there's a solution to avoid this, it will be nice.

It's the default XenForo Behaviour sorry ; I don't know why the first time I disabled your addon fixed the problem. I must have done an error somewhere.

huh? nowhere in showcase do I load the user controller and there is nothing to do with profile posts. The only "loadclass" code event that I use is DataWriter and that is for Thread (which hasn't even been released yet). The only other Listeners that showcase uses are NavTab, TemplateHook and WidgetFramework. I'll inbox ya to discuss ;)
 
I have to use showcase as a way to showcase my members best blogs because the better blogs addon has the worst blog index out of all the blog addons on xenforo. If you have better blogs by rigel then you might as well buy showcase since rigel has stopped development until xenforo development resumes and there is no importer to xi blogs.

Demo has been upgraded to 1.1.0 Beta 1 with the much wanted resource manager like discussion thread association. You can also see this in action at www.xfshowcase.com as they have upgraded to 1.1.0 Beta 1 as well. Public release is scheduled for Friday.

Thanks for this update. I will most likely purchase a license when it releases!
 
Hmmm, not sure which method I prefer. I don't think I like having them leave the showcase page to comment.
