We will make a few "easy" changes to the forum based on recent requests on the forums. These won't be released as extensions, but I will show you how you can make a local extension to include them on your forum.

Just to make practice I can release your work as an extension if you don’t 👍🏻

Great tutorials. Something I noticed when recreating the "hide secondary tags" solution. I don't know if it's naming problem but it doesn't work if webpack loads the extension before the Tags extension..

In this case
Object.keys(items.items)

will contain only 1 item

And the useExtensions: ['flarum-tags'] method doesn't seem to work either..

Is there a way to ensure that the extension is loaded after the tags extension?

We will continue work on Flamarkt. It's getting closer and closer to minimum viable product but there are still some big missing features. We will probably work on the email and notifications, and I think I will implement some kind of server-side Mithril rendering to generate HTML emails because a lot of content needs to be re-used between the frontend and the emails and it's going to be an extensibility nightmare if everything needs to be extended twice in two different programming languages by each extension.

jago there is https://docs.flarum.org/extend/extending-extensions.html#optional-dependencies

clarkwinkelmann

jago yes the order the extensions were enabled will affect this.

You should be able to solve it with required or optional dependencies https://docs.flarum.org/extend/extending-extensions.html

I think I mention this at the end of the stream but didn't actually implement it.

Another option would be to add negative priority to the javascript initializer so that it runs after Tag's initializer which probably has priority 0.

Oh I've actually done that but afterwards and then forgot to do composer update on the forum

Everything works now thanks...

We will work on a new design for builtwithflarum.com.

Right now it's just a secondary page of my Lab which is a Laravel app, but I have prepared a new Flarum-based backend for builtwithflarum, and tomorrow I'll work on the frontend, which is a good opportunity to discuss some Flarum theming aspects.

clarkwinkelmann Very well done. I like the new showcase so far. I’d go with 7 seconds. No, I’m kidding. 5 seconds should be fine for most sites unless they are having major issues.

clarkwinkelmann

010101 thanks! I'm trying to find whether I can somehow time how long each website takes to render while I'm talking the screenshot, that way I could have actual data. I don't mind the process taking longer, but I'd love to exploit that unproductive server time to at least produce a few interesting numbers.

I've kept it at 5 seconds for now, all websites seem to render. Now I have issues with the websites that have enabled Cloudflare advanced protection and I have a screenshot of a captcha ahah.

I'm hoping to publish it soon ™️ At least it should be sooner than my other projects because this one is actually kind of simple.

We will implement this suggestion about offtopic posts by creating a system for collapsible posts. This will allow grouping a series of posts into a single "expand" button, along with a customizable reason.

If there's time I also want to implement one automated option which collapses posts with a similar content, but it will probably just start with an exact match since I'm not actually sure how I can implement similar content detection 😂

We will continue the work on the collapsible posts extension and try to make it suitable for production.

This includes adding customizable collapse reasons, adding the "similar" auto-collapse, and checking for remaining UX issues.

I don't think I'll find a nice solution for collapsed posts permalinks but we'll also investigate whether anything can be done to make them work.

We will write some code related to Matt's 500-LED tree project. If you don't know what this is about, you can take a look at the video on the "Stand-up Maths" YouTube channel (this year) and the video that went viral from last year: "I run untested, viewer-submitted code on my 500-LED christmas tree."

And yes, it will actually be Flarum related. I'll implement a virtual tree that can be displayed inside of Flarum.

If you are interested in joining live but it's too early for you, let me know here or in the YouTube chat, I might delay the start as I'm not expecting many viewers and I can do it later as well.
