Development Discussion Board

I really appreciate the new bridge packaging guidelines. Thanks for that!

I assume we are moving towards a mod repository system? Perhaps several repositories, for reelased and in-development mods? install/uninstall/update via a repository list is IMO a good ultimate goal --and a wider consideration than just a list of what you have installed.

A small point, but you might want to consider "user_add" and "user_add_before" instead. I think "before" makes it clear that no changes have been written to the database yet.

Name: styles_output Rationale: Generated CSS could be intercepted and modified on its way to the browser. Ideally this would happen after the CSS is generated.

Placement: Currently, this needs to occur in several places: For updating after a profile change: In ucp_profile.p...

I imagine this one is 'obvious'.. but for completeness.... Name: hook_user_logout Rationale: To log out from third-party modules or to perform additional cleanup actions on logout Placement: After phpBB logout has succeeded, in ucp.php Input arguments: The user ID of the user that was just logged ou...
