It's with great regret that I've had to delay the launch of MyNetwork and modules until the New Year. I know this is a popular (or "most wanted") plugin, which is probably why it's the most viewed thread in the development forum. I know you're going to hate me...
I simply don't have the time to continue developing this while I'm stupidly busy at work (normally I'm stuck for things to do before Christmas). I have to keep a livelihood, and I don't want to jeopardise my position at work - especially after pulling something impressive out-of-the-bag (which you'll see in the showcase forum shortly) - and I need to hit deadlines. So, the main reason I'm delaying this is due to time; it's the enemy of all developers.
Actively developing this on the time scales I've mentioned (such as Christmas), would mean working solid over the holiday period. After a pretty hard year for my family, I don't want to do that.
On the other hand, I don't want to leave those who are wanting MyNetwork out in the dark. It is coming, and it will be out of this world. So, here's a few (full screen) screenshots of MyNetwork in action:
There's obviously more too it, but I have a busy afternoon and can't keep take screenshots all day
. We've been using it as part of our company's Intranet for over 8 months now, and it's been well received by pretty much everyone. The problem I face is porting it over to a plugin that is stable for other server environments; not everyone has a £7,000 (local) server!...
So, it just leaves me to say sorry, and I hope you're all still interested in this. There's still lots of things to put into MyNetwork and many things you all have no idea about - which makes me excited about the future. 1.6 and MyNetwork will make MyBB, quite simply, the only forum software you'll ever need. Until 2.0 comes, I guess.
I hope you all understand, and if there's any questions feel free to PM me. I don't want to reopen this thread for all the "when is it coming?!" again.
Have a great Christmas, whether you celebrate it or not, and a happy New Year!
