Wow is right.......I wanted to make a downloads page for all my downloads - so they showed in ONE area. Maybe this is what I can use. At the moment I have one forum per uploader (they use the forums like their own website) and it would be handy to be able to bundle them all together onto one big gallery page.  Maybe I can add thread filtering to that page now.... (lee dreams). But is it safe to use things from the git-hub? Can we roll it back if needed? I only have my production forum....

Hmm, maybe I should list the features which I had in mind there.
I generally find writing up that stuff a bit of a waste of time - I just did it to see what it was like

Well, my biggest dream already granted, actually. The XThreads "integration" with PHP In Template plugin Both of them is a must have plugin for me.

If you don't mind to list them, Yumi

BTW, please feel free to suggest anything you think is good.  You guys probably use this plugin more than I do.
I only really wanted a download system actually.

Well, I'm not sure if this is really related, but it would be nice to extend the xthreads functionality across to the profiles system. An example would be to be able to modularise the profile system in a similar way to the way forums are defined with custom fields for input and display values. I know thats what my friend flabaliki is looking for.

For Xthreads:

• It would be neat to have the option to combine templates (like on your post on github). That way we could have one set of templates for like 90% of a given forum, but use say the post bit style for a group of forums.
• It would be cool to be able to use the first post option without forcing it to show on every new page in the thread (make it optional). Sometimes that can take up a lot of space.
• A downloads counter for Xthreads attachments - not just a rolled up one (we already have that), but one that was based on a days downloads (set a time for begin/end of day) and have that show on the UCP. Maybe with a graph. That would encourage submissions of downloads etc. Of course it would have to be based on actual downloads of files, not just pictures, or maybe specify what kind of files should be counted. The data would be kept for say a month or two months and roll over - so you would have like a max of 60 days of dls.

I would xthread to have capabilities like different templates for different user groups for a forum.......

Thanks for the suggestions!
(BTW, please don't take the below as suggesting anything, I really do want you to throw your ideas at me, so hopefully I'm not discouraging in any way)

Sounds good.  Probably suited better as another plugin though, as it'll probably hook into MyBB's custom profile fields system...

Was actually thinking of that myself.

I think that's a bit beyond the scope of XThreads.  This would be fairly complicated by itself, and probably better suited for a separate modification.
Probably the furthest I will go is something similar to the Manage Attachments section in the UserCP, although I'm doubting I'd even do that.
Regardless, I'll put this down, as it's a valid suggestion:

Can somewhat be done with template conditionals.
Maybe I might do something with the multiple template prefixes in this regard...

Actually I am kind of doing something like this using php in templates. Thanks for considering this..

[leefish]

I had another idea - would it possible to add a column to the manage forums page so that we can see from the overview what template prefixes are assigned to a forum?
