Is it really worth to have to deal with all of these or to worry every day if one or more of our add-on developers quit the job tomorrow?
Such as?Honestly, I would like some features from Discourse instead of from IPB.
Some examples:Such as?
Some others need thousand but what someone may need is not the case here nor something that I care about. I thing I was clear enough saying:
Chat integration:
Matrix (riot.im)
“This is huge news, not least because WordPress literally runs over 36% of the websites on today’s web – and the potential of bringing Matrix to all those users is incredible,” New Vector writes in the blog post. “Imagine if every WP site automatically came with its own Matrix room or community? Imagine if all content in WP automatically was published into Matrix as well as the web? Imagine there was an excellent Matrix client available as a WordPress plugin for embedding realtime chat into your site?”
Can you list what features you would like to see that IC offers out of the box? I'm genuinely interested to know, because in my testing there wasn't a lot (unless a heap has changed in the new release).Using XenForo we need at least a dozen of add-ons (unfortunately there are a few crappy coded ones among them) in order to transform XenForo to what Invision Community offers by default and also a quite a few hundred bucks to pay their developers (unfortunately there are a few crappy characters or awkward ones among them). Is it really worth to have to deal with all of these or to worry every day if one or more of our add-on developers quit the job tomorrow?
I think if a lot of features were put in place with the possibility of being disabled for whoever wanted it. This would be much better than looking for extras to provide the required features.
The legend Siropu already has a perfect solution for this. Seriously grab his addon and support themChat integration:
That is not how we decide which features are included so it is mostly not relevant.And sort it by Downloads desc. In the first and maybe 2nd page you could get a guess of what are the features XF 2.2 will include.
s9e media sites is a collection of media sites, but it isn't really functionality in itself. XF already includes the "BB code media sites" system with a handful of media sites built in, s9e media sites adds more and probably more than we'd ever be interested in supporting. But that's why the functionality exists in the form that it does, so that people can create their own sites or install sites provided by a developer.Ps: if the s9e media sites functionality is not included OOTB in 2.2 I really won't know what to think.
If you have a suggestion for specific features you'd like us to consider then you'd be better to post them in the Suggestions forum. Telling us to "look at some other software" is really not helpful and really not something that we want to do as we have our own ideas for our own software just like I'm sure IPS do for theirs.
Things new or improved in IPS4 which I would love to see or see improved upon in XF:
- Social groups
- Go back to 1
- Multi-Language support (Burning Board does this much better)
- Moderation enhancements including workflows & crowd moderation.
- Commerce (donations, subscriptions, monetizing)
- Better Search. (XFES is too basic for a paid addon. IPS search is not perfect either though)
- SSO
- Social Media Marketing
- SEO improvements including site speed improvements.
- Documents / Downloads Manager
