Which extensions do you guys use on your forums?

arda

We're developing a few language extension packs as Extum and wanted to ask everyone which extensions do you use on your forums regularly?

I'm leaving the PR that has the supported and the list of extensions I'm working below so if you don't see your extension there, please open an issue one by one there at the repo (there is an issue template for requesting extensions) and I'll translate it.

https://github.com/Extum/flarum-ext-turkish/pull/6

PS: If possible, can you also review the PR quickly? To make sure I'm not doing anything wrong as this is my first time on the Flarum extension world.

I sent you the Turkish language pack because it's my first, and I will be using the exact same template and support on other language packs too.

Thanks everyone ?

Is this available on composer?

Zeokat Custom extension

I don't think so.

Frink it is not, ReFlar is planning for a custom BBCode manager from likes you've seen from other forum software such as Vbulletin and XenForo ?

Frink The extension isn't available on composer, but is a simple custom extension to add some BBCODE.

If you need to add custom BBCODE, It's easy to code the extension. Simply grab one extension that do that (there are many posted) and modify with your custom BBCODES.

If you have a list of forums you know, one great way to find out which extensions are used is the Lab https://discuss.flarum.org/d/10056-migratetoflarum-lab-the-health-scanner-for-flarum

Also, any reason to translate using a language pack and not in the extension itself ? We gladly accept translations directly on Flagrow packages for example.

One big advantage I see in translating at the extension level instead of the language pack level is that you can correctly match the translation with an extension version. If we release a breaking change that not everybody can install (Flarum core version, PHP version requirement...) and that is using different strings we can have both versions accurately translated. That might not be possible with a language pack, that has to cover every single available version of a package at the same time ?

Also I made a feature on the Lab to find out the state of translation of every extension, maybe it will be useful to translators. It's far from complete, don't hesitate to give feedback on it.
