Bitcoin Price Plugin - MyBB - In Dev

[WallBB]

BTC Price for MyBB

A relatively small plugin that will currently display BTC price wherever you use the below variable in any template :-

$btcprice

Just added a repository related to BTCPrice for MyBB
https://github.com/WallBB/BTCPrice-MyBB

Current plan is -
[] To show price of bitcoin without manual addition of variable
[] To add more crypto currency in the list

Once the plugin is complete, I will submit it to MyBB mods.
I will be working on this in my free time, feel free to contribute or suggest any further edits.

Regards
WallBB

Thanks.

It looks like it's on his list to-do, and yes it's possible to add more I've made a plugin displaying many coins using the coinmarketcap API for a friends forum.

I added some ideas to your Github to improve this.

And a note on the settings comments...if you really want a setting do something for currency like USD or something for the API for those who have different regions.

This is a bad plugin to use.

https://github.com/Admixing/CryptoPrice-...oprice.php

1. No cache of the prices.
2. Does a file_get_contents on EVERY SINGLE PAGE LOAD because it hooks into global_start.
3. It should use fetch_remote_file(), a default MyBB function, instead of file_get_contents().

That plugin should NOT be used. A good plugin will have a setting to put the prices into $cache from a task in set intervals which might be 1 minute or maybe 5-10 minutes. What this plugin does is load every single time any page loads. Very bad.
