I hope that this is the proper place for asking these questions, if not, i ask the MyBB staff to please have the decency to tell me the proper place before deleting this post!

Is it possible to retrieve the full list of available categories and/or plugins with "http://mods.mybboard.net/xmlbrowse.php"?

After analysing the plugins.php file coming with MyBB v1.6, i saw the new tab where we could retrieve a list of plugins related to keywords. But it would be interesting for the users to get the whole list of available categories and plugins to find what they need.

As an example: When you are searching for a "News" related plugin you will get only 8 for version=1400, when in fact there is more on the site...

So if we could at least know the proper parameters to call the mods.mybboard.net/xmlbrowse.php application for getting all details, it could be introduce in a plugin.

Or you could give a way to recover a category instead of only keywords.

Thank you for your time.

It would be a very confusing list...

If it is a category list, why would it be confusing?

And if the "category" was added in the XML item content, what would be confusing in getting the full list and having a plugin manage the content for the user?

For getting a category list instead of a keyword list, it could be as simple as delimiting the keyword like this for getting the category instead :
keyword "[News]" will retreive the list of all plugins in the "News" category.
keyword "News" will retreive the list of all plugins based on the keyword "News".
