What non-core plugins should an import tool for Flarum support?

linc

Anyone have strong opinions about what non-default plugins should be supported in a first-pass of an importer?

I did a skim of the FoF plugins and came up with this as the short list of things that are likely to have historical data you'd want to preserve from another forum:

fof/best-answer
fof/gamification
fof/moderator-notes
fof/polls
fof/reactions
fof/uploads

Did I miss any big ones? Especially looking for stuff folks very badly wanted to migrate with them in the past but could not.

Barely finished writing this question before I realized my biggest omission: User Badges. https://github.com/v17development/flarum-user-badges

I'd also suggest byobu (private dms/messages), user bios/social profiles, possibly links/static pages (although that's complicated and low-benefit), maybe banned IPs.

I think it can also be an important one flarumite/simple-discussion-views for the discussion view count, fof/drafts also comes to mind but I'm not sure if it is a common feature in other software, certainly with Flarum it has become a must for me.

Once I have a chance (probably tonight) I'll write my own non-reload extension. I know exactly what I want to do, and I do not agree with the way this one is written (in particular it will have unintended consequences due to poor foresight on how the code was written with all due respect, I wouldn't recommend using it).
