I know version 2 is being under intense development, but I took the liberty during the weekend to check out some 1.6 mods. I then tried the Twitter mod for phpFox 1.6 made by PhpSNS(or as our community know him as @Santocki) and wanted to recommend this plug-in for those who want their members in their social network, running phpFox, to view their tweets and follow tweets.
It has some great features, such as flood control which can be managed from the AdminCP. It also supports the Advanced Points add-on, which is practical if your network is based on point per activity, where your members gain points for each activity they contribute to your networking site.
I checked the thread for this add-on and overall everyone seems very content with it. Updates and support looks very good(referring to the thread). Reviews about PhpSNS are all positive within the community.
You want your members to tweet directly from your site? Then I would recommend you to check out the awesome Twitter Mod!
More recommended add-ons for 1.6 will come. :)
As of today we have removed the mods that did not meet the Paid Mod Rules in the Paid Mods Section for 1.6.x.
If your mod has been removed and you wish to re-post it according to the new rule, but want to copy the details please PM our forum moderator Jack for him to assist you in this case - this applies to any version(including plugins for v1.1 and 1.5.x).
Thank you for your attention!
Then this notice is for you and to all our modders/3rd Party Developers within our User-User Support Forums; to remind you that your plug-in/mod that has a fee and is released within our phpFox Paid Modifications section needs to be updated!
In the beginning of this month we announced that we set up a Paid Mod Rules and there was a temporary notice saying(quoted):
Temporary notice: For those who have their plugins/mods out has to update them before 11th May, 2009 - 40 days from today's date(2nd April, 2009). If they do not meet the requirements they will be removed without notification. If a modder is unavailable or on vacation for the moment, we can temporarily remove the plug-in and once he/she gets back and sends us a PM requesting to re-add their plugin, they will be given a 24 hours to update their thread.
We just wanted to remind our modders to update their threads to make sure they will stay within the section.
Thanks,
As our User-User Support Forums has grown we have had members come and go and some had gone a little too soon to leave another member distress and/or dissatisfied. When I say this, I am talking about our modders in the past. Modders who would release a plug-in just to get a good chunk of a poor mans funding and to run a way from the forums, leaving the buyer angry and broke.
Buyers in the past ordered failing plug-ins, did not receive support or get a rightful refund; so to make it more safe for the buyers of the plug-ins/mods we decided to make a recommendation for new buyers and a Paid Mod Rules for modders to follow.
We have released them as announcement for the phpFox Paid Modifications section.
Having these two announcement out, we hope buyers feel more safe with their modders and that the good modders out there feel confident in providing their plug-in!
So to all you buyers, good luck with your order and plugin; to all the modders, good luck with your clients; and for everyone else who is not considering buying/selling a plug-in from a third party developer have a wonderful day and thank you for following the phpFox Company Blog!
We are glad to finally release the much anticipated plug-in Advanced Point System for phpFox!
Last November, 2008 we had a few members from our User-User Support Forums request for an advancement of our current basic point system. Clients were interested in being able to manage the points, the amount of the points and the activities for the points, so a discussion took place. We discussed the features of this plugin, which took a little over a week. Due to some other tasks, our developers were not able to develop this plug-in until beginning of February, 2009. The plug-in took less than 3 weeks to develop and bugtest.
You can find the plug-in here for free! :D
Here is a screentshot of the Advanced Activity Point System, if you click on the image you will be able to view it in a higher resolution:
Have fun!
