I think that the most of sql tables must have 2-3 extra fields:
polls
lists (structure)
forumstruture and sections
comments
groups
pfs
pm

this field must not editable (add\delete new extra field)- it can make plugin writing more easy)

I have no idea why these would have extra fields:
  • polls
  • comments
  • groups
  • pm

The rest can be done with our extrafields system by medar (extended for those areas of course).

And without any doubt: not in this version. You guys intend adding so many new features within 2 weeks right before the deadline that we gonna have lots of new bugs just by the release date.
May the Source be with you!

So I don't understand what crap you suggest to do: add lots extra fields everywhere, which won't be used on 90% of sites?

That's all wrong design-wise (database design). Add one, then another one, then delete some, then rewrite everything from scratch...

We have a extra_fields DB and API, which can be used for extra fields.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but if it doesn't work how we need we can fix it. This could be used to on the fly add extra fields to rows AS a plugin, or Owner so needs. All extra fields can stay as default as they are now, but no new default extra fields would need to be added.

Please don't forget. The core is still supposed to be a framework. We won't add things just because someone uses it on their site. And like its been said alot of things will change in the future so this becomes even more of a true and better flexible framework.

Either hardcode your stuff into the template or use this plugin.
