I see VLD makes the use of extensions, but I was wondering if you had a list of all possible extensions that can be used? Just so I can get an idea of how customizable it is.
Also, can one make it available on the public profile, when the last time a user was logged in?
Thanks in advance.
It seems an odd question, coming from someone with a 'nick' of vld_guru .....
If you have not purchased the system, you would need to ask Vlad privately if he's prepared provide you with a list of the available extension names.
Many though, you will find from crawling through the forum, eg., you will find there is a "members" extension, which is responsible for showing the members profiles, in a number of selectable and varied options.
If you look at someone's site, then the "new members", "favourite members", "latest members" etc., would all come from this members extension.
Thanks for your quick response fatlizard. As for the username, do excuse that - I am not to imaginative when it comes to usernames.. I'm not even close to a guru with VLD, as I am yet to even buy the script.
I did open a support ticket to ask for the available extensions, however was told to ask here on the forum.
I have read around, and can see there are quite a few different extensions, as you said for example, for displaying members. This is why I was wondering if there was a definitive list of all the available extensions. It's hard to get an idea of how customizable the templates are with different variables when the extensions don't really seem to be outlined anywhere.
Also, I assume all of the template files are decoded and freely editable?
Thanks again.
The software and templates are open source so you can edit them as you like.
Extensions are merely a way for you to customize the software without having to edit its core files. For example if you'd like to display a list of members or pictures in different places in a variety of ways, you may use existing extensions for that without having to edit the main members/pictures modules. A few extensions already come with the software to make it easier for you.
If Vlad said the ask on the forum, then the current list of official extensions, as per v2.5.5 is:
ext.activities.php
ext.anchor.php
ext.banners.php
ext.blogs.php
ext.comments.php
ext.friends.php
ext.guestbooks.php
ext.members.php
ext.news.php
ext.page.php
ext.pages.php
ext.pictures.php
ext.polls.php
ext.randomize.php
ext.ratings.php
ext.reports.php
ext.search.php
ext.stats.php
Most, if not all, can take parameters effecting their output, so they're fairly flexible.
There are also some unofficial ext's out there as well - I have one, and I believe Ramil (radioact) over on vld Crowd has a number available as well.
You can take the basic extensions that fatlizard provided and add to it by customizing it. Probably ext.members is the most popular. I must have 10 different extensions branching off just from that one. Don't ask me to list them cause they probably would only work for my custom job. While customizing a template, I will create the extension on the fly to fit in with the template I'm working on.
