i'd like to have the design open up to allow for hooks in ubbthreads.php..
ie: now we have the pre and the run functions... for each $ubb value (or close to it)...
would be nice to have some means to add what i'd call hooks that would allow developers to make plugins or extensions or whatever you wanna call em.. that wouldn't interfere with the stock code, but give added functionality..
sooo hooks could be flexible enough to specify things like template, wordlets, pre_pre, post_pre, pre_run, post_run
etc etc... then we can have a 'plugins' directory and put them there...
this would entice developers to make some nice plugins... it would also not scare customers so much away from new things, because they would maintain compatibility...
the admin control panel could then simply have a nice feature where it has 'install plugin' -- 'remove plugin' -- 'upgrade plugin' and all goes on from there..
wordpress does this, joomla does too...
i've already done it to some extent myself, just to keep my uber-mods from colliding with the new releases... my directory is called sd-mods and i have a modified ubbthreads.php to handle it..
