I have done quite some work already on 2.3.0, but some of the suggestions and the bug reports posted here will take time to complete. Perhaps an early alpha will be available fairly soon, but thorough testing is the big challenge these days.

Coded so far for 2.3.0:

+ Category Display
Added option to display/remove keyword filter dropdown
+ Starred nominations
Entries can be unnominated
Nominations are no longer stacked, i.e. only user's current nomination is recorded
+ Session ids
vBulletin session ids handled corrrectly throughout
+ Efficiency changes
Admin and categories tables cached in vBulletin datastore and other code rewritten to eliminate various database lookups
+ Media Players
Upgraded JWsilverlight player to version 1.1 and added windowless and background params
+ Hooks
Added ldm_icons_cached after caching list of icon filenames
+ Bug fixes
Fixed id3tag-enhancements extra
Fixed permissions-related null category bug within Edit Entry
Fixed sort order/pagination bugs when searches contain urlencoded chars
Fixed Add LDM to VB navbar plugins for situation when vbAdvanced is not installed in forum directory

Still to do:

- Redo much of the 'attributes' code to fix bugs/improve functionality
- Provide import mechanism for vb attachments
- Move to jw media player 4.0
- Disentangle comments and ratings calculations
- Option to make comments/ratings visble inline consistently
- other bug fixes

Anything else?

Andrew,

Thank you. One other suggestion, a few more layout templates to choose from. AND just in case you have nothing else to do, the ability to integrate Google Maps into the link display page, via a latitude and longitude attribute, with a waypoint attribute too. I would pay for someone to custom develop that for me! hint...hint...
