Taking stock of Plugins for v1.0.2

Hello folks,

It’s my hope that this thread can help move bbPress Plugin development forward. I’m not a programmer but I use bbPress for two different sites. One site is running v0.9.0.6 and the other is running v1.0.2.

I am considering upgrading my 0.9 forum to 1.0.2, since development is beginning to move forward, and some plugins are getting updated. Before making that decision, I decided to go through all the plugins I currently use in 0.9 and see if they have been updated, or in the very least, tweaked by current users. My method for checking this was to read through all the plugin threads for comments or tweaks, and to test some in my 1.0.2 forum.

I broke my list down to five separate lists:

1) Plugins that work

2) Plugins that work, with some bugs (according to some users)

3) Plugins that don’t work

4) Plugins that work with tweaks/changes

5) Plugins that may or may not work (conflicting info in threads, no comments since v1.x was released, etc)

I will only post lists 2-5.

I welcome your comments. If you have specific comments or tweaks, please post them in the that plugin’s thread (see links below).

Thanks ipstenu. Good to know. The reason I listed it as “not sure if it works” is because _ck_ said this in the plugin thread: “I would be very surprised if this worked on 1.0 right now. It’s fairly complex. “

I’m adding a lot of plugins to my development site tonight, I’ll see which works and which don’t, and also possibly try to fix them. I’ll at least let you know which didn’t work for me.

bb anonymous posting is working fine for me in 1.0.2

An attempt to make a list of working plugins has been made a month ago. Unless one of these threads becomes a sticky, it will get lost and get into oblivion in a few weeks.

@ buddha trance While I’m hoping this thread will help with plugin development, it really is a selfish thread so i can speed some of these plugins up.

Things are looking good though… I’m really surprised that a lot of _ck_’s plugins are working, especially the ones in my “not sure if it works” list. She was pretty adamant that they needed to be updated.
