So I just released my first Xenforo plugin to the public.

I installed it on the site today but you probably won't notice it at first glance:

It would seem like that thing that has been here all along in one form or another. Its certainly familiar from vBulletin 4.x. However its not stock to Xenforo and until today the very plugin doing the job did not exist.

During the first week scramble to find plugins we finally ran across some very abandoned plugins to do the job. With some changes to support username coloring and have consistent style we thought that worked. It turns out even after heavily modifying one of the plugins they both had a very serious defect. They caused thread redirects to fail... so I patched that too.

Well today not only did I write the 2 plugins as 1 new one, I added a feature. Tapatalk support! Never really noticed it but people on tapatalk didn't show up as currently viewing. So thats been added along with some other subtle changes in the end result of the product.

There is a current and up to date competing pair of products. Hopefully the developer won't be unhappy as I have made every opportunity in the past to tell people about his existing products. One of the pair is actually in an entirely different format appealing to different people.

Here it is, for all the good it will do you. So far 6 people in the first 30 minutes have checked it out. Kind of excited to hear feedback from people who have been waiting on this or didn't know I was doing one to fill their needs. - http://xenforo.com/community/resources/raindd-thread-activity-users-viewed-viewing-thread.3178/

Wonder if that will be the next feature request, not showing tapatalk. I just got one to display avatars instead of names from a french site that supports Xenforo in french of course.
 
Rain I hope you are charging for your product or future products to the public. :)

This had to be a freebie, when I stripped it down to its core to rewrite it I still had that taste in my mouth that this can never be truly original. Its always going to have common parts that other people have written and will write time and time again. Really at its current level its about one feature past one of the most basic plugins on can write. The code in my opinion is uncopyrightable.

Don't worry I have my list of paid and unpaid addon's already. Wait till I start charging you :p
 
Shit shouldn't open my fat fucking mouth (fingers in this case) . :)

Please dont charge us Mr. I will get soulzz to do the deed.
 
Lol the deed. So classy
