#show_applications# request

[Wolfie]

For being able to make new settings, someone may want to be able to list the different available applications as a menu selection. Much like #show_groups# and #show_forums#.

Done

[Wolfie]

Awesome, thank you. I thought it wouldn't happen until 3.0.2 or later.

How about a #show_modules# too, while you're at it?

How about some real fun.. #show_users#, to list ALL of the members on the board. I'm sure that would be way fun for boards with 1,000 or more members. :D

Being serious though. #show_modules# and #show_hooks# could be helpful to those who make mods/apps/hooks.

[Martin A.]

#show_topics# would be better/worse/w/e :P

I think #show_modules# will benefit those who make hooks that are restricted to certain sections on the board. Global Forum Message and IP.Shoutbox, just to mention a some.

[bfarber]

Will take a look in the next update, but show_modules is a little more challenging to have it "look" right. You'd probably want to section them off by application, which would mean the application would have to be in the options list (the apis to create the dropdowns can't do optgroups for example).

[Wolfie]

Anything that helps out those who make hooks and applications. :)

Now, I hate to be stupid. :P

Everything suggested sounds like something that could be useful to me... but, how exactly do you access them? :blush:

[Wolfie]

When you make a setting to use in the ACP in the System Settings, for the Extra to show to the Admin, you put in #show_groups# or #show_forums#, etc, and then it gives you a list when you see the setting in use.

Like in Topis, Posts & Polls, the "Ignored Users: Protected Groups" setting, it shows a list of the different Member Groups. If you were to look at the data to make that setting possible, you would see #show_groups#


Make a new setting to play with:


Enjoy! :D

Setting Extra? #show_forums#

[Lewis P]

aaah, Very nice. That is exactly what I wanted for something I'm working on if I'm honest. :P

Think you'll be able to make use of #show_applications# ?

Not for anything I plan on releasing, but for something I plan on using on my board, yes. :P
