Three "gbosa" for WOA.

"gbosa" "gbosa" "GBOSA" !!!!

skunk,

Nuggets is already on here. I will check oiut Htmlformatter and friendlyURLs. Keep the extensions coming sha. The more the better :)

I look forward to that list buddy. By the way, please post it under "general". Thanks

So, I actually installed HTMLFormatter since friday but it doesn't seem to take. I also have , in addition to the FCK Rich Text Editor, 10 other extensions installed. Is it possible that they are colliding with one another?

Your thoughts please. I too don't want to have to literally type "br"s each time I want to make a new paragraph ;)

some extensions have compatibilty issue which is always talked about in each extension's thread if it is not stated in the description.

Disable all extensions and leave only HTMLFormatters, so that I can post the extensions properly. All the extensions I have tested and installed are compatible with each other (nuggets gives me slight headaches though).

Nope. you will only disable the others for a moment while I send the list.

Sorry I have not posted 'em. I have been busy these days.

I've got myself enmeshed in far too many projects (3 currently - 2 near completion, 1 just starting). I just can't say no.

I'll find time to make a better compilation out of the notes I made while I was testing vanilla.

If the html doesnt autoformat still. I will send it to your email box.

1. Add Comments - It allows the add comments box to display for guests (and not only for logged in members) while displaying a username and pbumword field at the top so that registered members can log in and post comments without going to the sign in page first. I hacked the extension by adding a 'click here to get a username and pbumword' link so that unregistered visitors who wish to make a comment immediately would not change their mind.

2. Announcement - Allows you to add an announcement at the top of your homepage. This announcement can be optionally ajaxified to disappear after a few seconds. Its hard to miss. I personally use it to tell people new to forums what to do next. But since you are dealing with webmasters, you can just populate it with things they need to know.

3. CAPTCHA - The name says it all. Adds a CAPTCHA field to your signup page to prevent bots from registering.

4. CommentLinks - I've forgotten what this one does precisely.

5. DiscussionExcerpt - This one takes the first few posts in a discussion and appends it under the discussion on the main page. There is no configuration interface in the admin panel. You have to hardcode your edits in the extension file. I dont use it. Although it might be useful in a webmaster forum, it kinda clutters up the main page.

6. DiscussionOverview - I think this one is the javascript version of the above. Displays the discussion excerpt in a javascript-generated box when the mouse is hovered on the discussion. But I am not so sure. I dont use it. I like to keep forums i create for clients simple so it takes time before they come running back to me.

7. Poll - Adds a poll to the forum. It gave me complications though. But you can try it and give me feedback.

8. Sitemaps - This is one of the sweetest. Generates a google-compliant sitemap for your forum and places it on the index for googlebot to munch any time it comes around.

9. DPlayer - All you have to do is dump an mp3 into the folder where it is installed, reference it in your post and it brings out a button your users can click to listen to the song. Although I love it and I will port it to work in normal websites I design, I dont use it for vanilla forums. I use JQmedia instead which is more powerful and flexible. JQmedia parses mp3, youtube and myspace videos and a host of others.

10. DuplicateEmailCheck - when a new user is trying to sign up,

Thats not all, I had internet connection problems yesterday. Moreover, there is a cap on how much I can post here, so I will start from number 10.

10. DuplicateEmailCheck - when a new user is trying to sign up, this extension checks if their email address is already in the database. If it is not, registration continues. If it is, they get a message telling them they are already registered and if they have forgotten their pbumword.

11. ExtendedTextFormatter - I think this is the extension I wanted you to install when I kept hammering htmlformatter. I think I got everything mixed up. :)

12. FeedPublisher - Creates feeds on your pages. You already have it and know how and what it does.

13. FriendlyUrls - This is the BEST. It is no secret that search engines today love rewritten URLs. if you notice, I did some mod_rewrite myself on niglyrics.com so the site can get indexed quickly. This extension doesnt really get installed. It just contains a .htaccess file you will place in the vanilla folder and information on editing your configuration file so that the vanilla script will start generating 'friendly urls' for you.

14. GuestSignin - Puts a sign in form shown to guests on your sidebar. Some people really hate looking for the sign in link. people like me. and its pretty hidden in vanilla. This should help. :)

15. Honeypot - Its uses some kinda hidden form to prevent bots from registering. I dont use it because 1. Google doesnt like hidden forms. 2. Its success rate is not guaranteed. 3. Captcha does well enough.

16. HotDiscussions - It marks discussions with more than a specified amount of posts as hot. You have to harcode the limits into the extension script. A footnote I'll paste should guide you.

17. HTMLformatter - formats html inside posts and formats html. :)

18. InviteFriends - I ran into slight problems with it, so I dont use it. You should try it though.

19. JQUERY - VERY IMPORTANT if you plan on running extensions written in the Jquery Javascript Library (e.g JQmedia). It should be installed first.

20. JQmedia - It automatically parses links to media files embedded in posts so the the media files can be played in the post. I've got problems with it on IE6 though. You should watch out for that.
