It should be one catagory for version 3.5 hacks and plugins with the typical directly structure of /admin /misc /caldander /forumdisplay etc. -- in the thread list it hsould say whether it alters templates or db or files.

I am begining to see a need for the download database.

I completely agree with Paul M, uploading files are not modifying existing code!

Things will change when 3.5.0 Gold is released...

Apparently it is.

Staff are discussing this.

My personal view is that we can divide hacks into the following 4 types:

1. Code modifications - modify vB source code - will not be officially supported by Jelsoft and takes longer to upgrade.

2. Plugins - uses hooks, may have additional PHP files, no source code mod.

3. Addons - additional PHP files, no hooks, no source code mods.

4. Template mods

We are basically missing an Addon forum - I am lobbying to have one added for now. When we have the new hack database up and running when we go to 3.5 we will be using tags which means we can mix and match the above. For example, some hacks will have a plugin, an addon and a source code mod. Members will be able to sort between the different types or in combination. But for now, we may need another forum.

But let's not use the name "addon". On vb.org, "addon" has a specific meaning from past usage. It's means the hack is an addon to another major hack. Like the "Add-On Releases" forum under vB3: "Support threads for Hack Add-ons are in here."

Maybe "integrated mods" or a better name...

Yes - Addons, Extensions, Standalone Scripts, or Files that don't require any code modification :ermm:

I think the first 3 are more likely
