😃Woah! Awesome!

I'd wondered whether a Flarum version of an in-forum shop had been developed yet. I'm glad someone has already achieved it.
Thank you for creating this extension.
I'll definitely be considering it in the very near future for sure.

•Edit, to add: I'm thinking the 'Decoration Store' may be somewhat similar to the DragonByteTechnologies 'Shop' add-on for Xenforo, is this a reasonable assessment?
(*note: Imo the DBTech 'Shop' is pretty cool, so I'm currently under the impression 'Decoration Store' is potentially comparably cool as well.)

hrvoje_hr

Fantastic idea!
Can admins design their own decorations as well?

Ziven

hrvoje_hr Yes, you can upload your own design as well 😃

Searcher

Ziven

If the extension can beautify the title of the top post or any post, that's perfect, I'll buy it right away
In addition to looking good, it has practical significance

This is really great!! I've been thinking about something exactly like this for a long time.

hrvoje_hr

I'm curious, is someone from Discuss went and bought the extension? I would love to see some implementations before pulling the trigger.

hrvoje_hr

hrvoje_hr I'm still curious. Did anybody buy the extension?

SZSZ

Are you considering adding a feature to manually give decorations? (Similar to User Badges)
您是否考虑添加手动授予装饰的功能呢？（类似徽章）

meihuak

In a forum, decorating the discussion title is more important than decorating the avatar

Ziven

hrvoje_hr Yes, there have been seven customers bought this extension

hrvoje_hr

Ziven I see that, but I would like to see how they implemented it

Capybara

More decorations (such as post decoration) will be added in future update.

I'm thinking of buying this extension, has any of this been added?

Capybara

User31 I bought this extension yesterday. Everything works as it should. Of the nuances: on a dark theme, the text is blue, I would like white. Product cards are boring, I would like to add a fill of cards instead of thin frames

😎Top show, Capybara!
Do you think Ziven's 'Deco Store' would make for solid foundation to build a full blown marketplace?

I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much I wasted early last year the DBTech - 'Shop' & 'Credits' add-ons for my first ever forum admin adventure.

The initial intention was basically throw cash wads at a dev to customize the absolute nards outta the two add-ons + the forum. Coz to me, I saw/& still do see great potential—which is as yet unrealized imo.

Fortunately....lol, I ended up hiring this "freelance dev/technician" dude to basically sort out the niggly technical stuff and to develop all my eccentric forum ideas...

...however, barely three weeks after hiring the dude...😂 I was around 5k out of pocket, unbeknownst to me I had an unlicensed DBTech 'Shop' & 'Credits'—both of which weren't even set-up right.
Funnier still is on the morning of the day I finally discovered all this, I also found another cool surprise....the "tech" had apparently led a mutiny, convincing all the Mods & the co-Addy that I wasn't the real me, and with their full support subsequently booting me out of my own forum...🤣

Anyways the point is, I dunno. I eventually gave up on XF altogether.
I'm here on Flarum by chance, and I don't mind throwing funds at meaningful causes aye. Recently I've been thinking about directing my aim towards Flarum & several extension devs. Maybe Ziven too.

Answering the question, it all depends on the motivation of developers to support the creations. I know some great extensions that are abandoned and unsupported, even though they have more than 1000 downloads. I hope that this store will be updated.

An interesting story. Now you have learned from experience how to work in a team😅

Capybara

User31 I just want to share that I managed to change the style of the product card. My little achievement!

User31

Capybara

Nah wasn't nothin' to do with teamwork.
The guy straight up deceived everyone by surreptitiously installing an XF add-on called 'LAU2'—before we knew anything about it—which he specifically used to masquerade as me, the co-admin, the mods & numerous others—all while greedily helping his-self to the allocated forum development funds I'd set aside for us.
So what I actually learned was that even if a dev/tech is a prominent freelancer for a well known commercial brand like XF, it's still no guarantee the freelancer ain't just another predatory criminal and nor is it guaranteed that upon learning of criminal conduct occuring, some commercial brands apparently have no problem covering up known crimes, while subsequently then actively protecting the criminal as well as trying to silence the victim thereof.

Nevertheless, regarding Zivek's 'Decoration Store' extension.
😎Hopefully they are motivated by $$$$, because (a) I may have it in abundance, (b) I may be exceedingly generous, and (c) as imo an optionally available, well established, comprehensive and reliable ifcs/e-commerce system is a substantially beneficial addition to a forum brand's ecosystem as a whole, thus therefore arguably also should be a priority necessity for any commercial forum systems brand.
Although this is just my personal opinion of course.

Capybara

User31 I agree. I hope Zivek reads this thread. From your story, we can conclude that it is better to conduct business only with the most trusted people. Or alone

luceos

User31 that's quite a story and it's sad to see that some people show such a lack of integrity.
