XenForo.com specific: Developer Tools category

[Chris D]

Just wondering if we could have a Developer Tools category here? That would cover add-ons that primarily cater for developers rather than day-to-day users.

 

[Jeremy]

At this time there isn't. The closet thing would be other add-ons or development tutorials.

 

[Chris D]

I know. I can see there isn't one

I'm suggesting we create one

 

[Jeremy]

Responding to the first sentence in your post. I'm not sure it would be used often. I'm not sure I've seen any already released?

Edit: you said could. This is what you get for skimming on mobile. Lol

 

[Slavik]

Seems reasonable.. @Mike

There's a few. There should be many more!

Here's the latest: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/content-type-management.2513/
Here's another one by me: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/add-on-builder.1091/
And one by guiltar: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/developer-kit.246/
And another: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/the-mini-parser-only-for-developers.2377/

xfrocks API imo too. That's more developer level. Most average forum owners have no clue what to do with it.

 

[Chris D]

Yeah, agreed. In fact there's two API add-ons, I think.

Then there's the Kotami bridge by @Luke Foreman. Definitely more of a developer tool. It would be up to those developers to decide if their add-on is better situated in that category or not, of course, but I'm sure some will.

EDIT: @guiltar has an add-on that added some additional code events, that's definitely dev focussed too.

 

[Mike Edge]

Or if too many categories from a clutter stand point, could also make it importers & Developer Tools

 

[Adam Howard]

+1 on this idea

 

[Rob]

I'd really like to see this implemented @Chris D - it will help keep useful tools together in one place.

 

[Liam W]

I agree, although this appears to have been lost for eons...

 

[Rob]

Yes, I like bumping old threads

 

[Jake B.]

I think it would be fantastic! I know @Jon W has released a couple of them, so has @Chris D... Speaking of, now that you're all official now.... I know I'd consider making something to put in there

 

[Paul B]

This has now been implemented.

We have a new category now, named Developer Resources. This category is the new home for the existing Development Tutorials category, plus a new category named Developer Tools.

Discussions for such Resources will now be here:
