Looking for feedback on Extension

Rustywolf

I've not touched the API for creating extensions for Flarum before a few hours ago, and I needed the functionality to hide discussions from users other than those who have permission to see them, and the creators. I ended up with the following, and was looking to see if I had made any mistakes or where I could improve it. Thanks.

Hello Rustywolf ,

Great to see you commit to Flarum as well. Some pointers I can give you:

Separate the content from the bootstrap.php into listeners.
The ScopeVisibility change will limit viewing discussions to only those you created, is that intended?

As you're trying to figure out the eco system, might I suggest reading the code of Byobu, a private discussions extension? It might help speed up your development by reading at examples. In addition once you figured out what you need to implement to make your idea work, I'm looking forward to a pull request because creating an extension and maintaining one are entirely different things ?

Good luck, looking forward to more!

The Priate Discussion Extension is done with Byobu. Why don't you try the Private Message Extension which is the missing extension right now?

luceos Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely take a look at that resource.
As for the goal of this extension, yeah it's designed that only users with a specific permission and the creators of a thread can view it, so that you can have privatized communication with the forum staff.
