I've been working on a "Upgrade-and-download-admin-plugins"-plugin for PunBB 1.2 today. It's a simple way of adding/updating/removing plugins. The plugins are located on my server, which the PluginManager also get's it's list from.

What do you think? Any suggestions or improvements?
looks amazing 
maybe a show all unused plugins or something for plugins you don't have
Yes, I was thinking of someting similar. Maybe a list of some kind:
* Show installed plugins
* Show plugins that can be updated
* Show plugins that are not installed
There's no pagination either, so if there's ALOT of plugins, all will be located on the same page. This will be fixed before release.
yep, it's great 
What do you think? Any suggestions or improvements?
That's cool, a very nice feature for the next release.
Will you be the plugin manager then?

Probably yes. I'll have to make a page where people can upload their plugins or something.
What exactly is this plugin manager ? is like when you want to install aditional features ? or mods ? now i'm confuzed...
plugins are a new feautre for 1.2 they basically allow you to add menu options to the admin page without editing other files for extra admin fuctions which may or may not be linked to a mod
btw how will it know what version of a mod is installed?

I don't. The file is hashed and compared to the server-version. This way I don't have to care about versions. The drawback arises when someone have a newer version than on my server...
We'll see how it works :)

oh ok, now i get it. Well i like it and i can hardly wait for 1.2 full and free of bugz 
unless your server kept a backlog of hashes e.g.
your server:
1.0 = a1
1.1 = b2
1.2 = c3
if they had b2 then it would say update
if they had c3 it would say up-to-date
if they had d4 it would say unknown version update may be out of date
dunno how you would store it on your server but just a suggestion
Well, as I said on IRC, very cool :) If you run into any problems that can be fixed by modifying how the plugins work, don't hesitate to tell me.
looks sweet
I *really* like this, and it's a long time coming for BBS's/Forums in general - in fact, I think I may had brought up 'plugins' as an idea earlier on. Regardless who thunk it up, I am very happy to see this! Kudos!!
Very Groovy!! :>)
It's getting even better, I've made a upload-your-plugin-plugin too!

Sweet!
i wonder how many plugins there will be for 1.2, theres a limit to how much they can do without having a mod attached to them though
yes, there is a limit, but it helps alot.
as ive said before, a user plugin would rule.
wait, a user plugin mod
user plugin? for the profile?
there is Admin plugins, where admins/mods can use the plugins, i say make a user plugin mod.
ill work on it
but what would it do? add items to the user profile?
no, just anything. like a PM plugin,.
I'll have to make a page where people can upload their plugins or something.
Maybe PunRes can help? =)

Though, mods is still your area :)
