Videos on how to extend Flarum

node1 in the last 6 months it's always been 4PM Central Europe time, which means it was either 3PM UTC (during daylight saving time) or 2PM UTC (now that DST has ended).

However I'm open to changing the time if there's more demand for other periods. I did a survey last year which indicated Sunday afternoon (local time) was the preferred option. I'll probably do another survey later this year to check if there are other preferences.

I try to always schedule the live streams at least 24 hours in advance so people can automatically see the time in their own timezone by visiting the YouTube video page.

clarkwinkelmann Thanks for the info. I saw a post about Flarum 2.0. Perhaps at the beginning of your next live stream you could share your vision about where Flarum might be evolving in the next twelve months? What do you believe are the priorities of future development?

Actually DST just started 😛

node1 I could definitely talk about some of the upcoming changes/improvements for Flarum stable (1.0).

The Flarum team has already discussed this internally in a lot of details and the rough objectives can be seen in the GitHub milestones https://github.com/flarum/core/milestones Some tasks will most likely slip to the next version, the focus is to ship every remaining breaking change before stable so extension developers can they enjoy a stable API during the future feature updates.

It's way too soon to discuss 2.0, except for making jokes about possible bad choices 😁 It has not even been decided yet how often or regularly would new major versions be released. The 1.0 API should work well for a long time to come, and new APIs will be added in 1.x releases. Only changes where backward compatibility is not possible will be held back for an eventual 2.0.

clarkwinkelmann Upcoming changes/improvements for Flarum stable (1.0) would be great. Look forward to hearing it.

matteocontrini the moment I posted, I was sure I was going to get it wrong 🤦‍♂️

I should just have gone with "now that the time changed" 🤣

I'm going to skip tomorrow's stream.

I've seen some good ideas for little Flarum tweaks that I could show in a next stream, but I need to compile a list because most of the things would only take 15min on their own and I don't have enough to fill 1 or 2 hours.

I also don't have any extension left to update/tweak, except a few highly complex ones. Unless you want to see me update the Taxonomies extension from Flarum beta 13 to beta 16...

Justoverclock

clarkwinkelmann maybe can u update taxonomies and show some little tweaks 😊

clarkwinkelmann

Join me on Sunday at 14:00 UTC, 16:00 CET for a new live stream!

We will update the mysterious Taxonomies extension you have heard me talk about for Flarum beta 16, and also rename it and integrate it into a new software I'm working on.

Depending on the time remaining and how many people are live, there are a few more things I might implement for the "new software" (it is Flarum related) that I could do on stream. But if there aren't many people interested I'll do it off-stream.

Don't hesitate to ask questions in the chat!

I will share the progress I have made on the Flamarkt extension(s) and will continue the work live, most likely related to the file upload and browser.

The code from last stream and the one which will be featured tomorrow is available at https://github.com/flamarkt . There's still nothing publicly usable at this time, but the source code is there.

We will create a new extension that lets users pick an avatar from a list, and optionally disables the ability to upload custom avatars.

It is Netflix default users icons or? 🤣

We will continue work on Flamarkt. Maybe on the user identity side, or maybe on the billing side, I don't know yet.

Also other announcement: one or two days after Flarum stable release (exact day unknown at this time) I'm planning to stream all day while I update all of my open-source extensions. It will probably be a work day so I don't expect everyone to be able to join for long, but by doing a long stream most of you should be able to find a compatible time to come say hello and ask any question you might have about this new Flarum version!

clarkwinkelmann Unfortunately I will miss this one due to a move, but hopefully I will see it later when it is uploaded to the channel!

clarkwinkelmann

I was unfortunately not able to host the stream at the scheduled time today. I will still work on the planned features later so I have rescheduled the stream for tonight 20:00 UTC, 22:00 CET. The duration of stream will depend on how many people are able to join live 🙂

If there ends up being more people than usual, maybe I'll consider changing the time 🤣

clarkwinkelmann

As announced, I will make a special stream tomorrow where I try to update most of my open-source extensions for Flarum 1.0.

The stream will start on Friday at around 11h00 UTC and go on for a few hours, probably until at least 15h00 UTC. Unlike the traditional streams there will likely be multiple breaks and I might do some silent sections for the least interesting extensions.

We will start with all extensions in the clarkwinkelmann/ namespace that are currently compatible with Flarum beta 16, following the priority outlined in the Clark's extensions discussion. If there's time I will also take care of the fof/ extension updates that I have assigned to myself.

clarkwinkelmann

I'm live! Join me during the next 4-5 hours while I make my extensions compatible with the exiting Flarum 1.0 stable release!

It's been a few weeks, but I'm back!

Join me on Sunday at 14:00 UTC, 16:00 CET for a new live stream!

We will implement a special request I have received. It's an extension that will let forum owners connect the email validation with a custom backend, so you can implement an email validation that queries an external database, or just runs an external script that might not be written in PHP. We will implement multiple options to make the extension work in as many scenarios as possible.
