[IPB 3.0 Request] More pluggable functions

[BryanH]

Let me preface this with... I'm not a PHP expert, nor am I an expert when it comes to IPB's developer features.

I use WordPress quite extensively and I love how easy it is to create, install and uninstall plugins! I gather this is because almost everything in WordPress is pluggable, allowing you to replace core functions with your own.

I don't know what kind of plugin system IPB has (if any), but having to make manual file edits to install/uninstall a plugin is less than desirable. So here's hoping IPB 3.0 will have more pluggable functions, or at least be more plugin friendly!

They are indeed trying to do this. If only it was possible to mark feature suggestions as duplicates.

IP.Board does have numerous plugin systems at the moment in IP.Board 2.x.x, there is the components system, where you just upload a file and its done, no file edits needed. It has the modules system (very similar). It has the portal_plugins folder, extensive API's etc.

Its already there, there just going to be introducing hooks in IPB3, which allows you to hook into the existing code without having to edit it

If IPB 3.0 has hooks and a overhauled tasks manager, I'd be very happy :-D
