App contributions hall of fame

[rmdes]

Isn't there a way to add "app contributor" to one's profile ?
or maybe even roles in the Discourse forum features ? that or some kind of badges, anything that give contributors a distinction mark, I'm not sure Cloudron wants to go in that direction But I think it's good when the community can identify better who provides value to it ?

[jdaviescoates]

@rmdes yes, adding them to a group as I proposed above would do that. Nebulon and Girish have a 'Staff' badge because they are in the 'Staff' group.

[girish]

I could put them in a group but what is the expectation? To show case that they have packaged an app before? I have to look into NodeBB groups more closely but I don't want people tagging them as a group in posts saying "hey, @app-packagers can one of you step up" etc :-).

[girish]

I found https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15015/trying-to-understand-the-fundamental-purpose-of-groups/ . Maybe https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4397/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards-ns-awards-give-medals suits us better.

@girish Groups are good for the tag next to your name on every comment or post. for Groups. Medals/Badges are also nice.

@girish said in Who here has actually already packaged an app that is already in the Cloudron App store?:

"hey, @app-packagers can one of you step up"

Yeah, I guess we might now want that. This is the only NodeBB forum I frequent. Is that actually a thing? Hey @staff does this tag you?!?

Yeah, my idea was simple so that "app packager" or similar would be displayed as a badge next to their name like staff is for you and Nebulon.

[rmdes]

tagging a group send a notifications to members of said group, my expectation of this badge/tag isn't to be used this way, more a recognition of their contribution, so perhaps the medal/badge is better approach

[girish]

Well, that award plugin does not work and has not been updated in 7-8 months as well. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4397/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards-ns-awards-give-medals/142 reported similar back trace.

I guess we can just use groups for now.

[girish]

Sorry, if this forum went up and down a bit. Everytime, I install a plugin, all sorts of random things happen I tried to add the group but some people's badges simply won't show up (@jimcavoli @mehdi and @BrutalBirdie specifically). I don't see any error at all.

[A Former User]

@girish Weird... I do see mine. As for errors I get an error about fetching emoji metadata everytime I open the post editor.

[girish]

Yeah, I am seeing the same. I am also hitting https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14932/strange-thing-in-navigation-urls . Investigating.

[girish]

Hopefully, everything is OK now.

I just checked everyone linked to above and the only people missing their badges are @jimcavoli and @mehdi - @BrutalBirdie seems to have his badge now... I wonder what changed to make his work and why the other two still don't?!? Odd.

EDIT: perhaps it's something to do with this setting and they've either not seen or not responded to a group invite or something?

But, overall, this is great, thanks @girish!

I am officially extremely jealous

Oh, I just had to go to my profile settings and enable it ! I am officially not jealous anymore

[Lonkle]

I will be soon I hope. As far as credentials go now:

• 10 years of experience in Wordpress / WooCommerce
• 1 month of Cloudron experience.
• Packaged two apps for Cloudron, one will likely end up in the store. The other is for my personal use...unless I determine it has value for others; that’ll be in a different forum post I make asking later on though.
• Currently working on converting 4Minitz as @marcusquinn is sponsoring me to do so. I’ll also be working on 2 other apps he’s sponsored me for after 4Minitz is finished.
• I understand box and dockerode just in case the app being converted needs lower level (cloudron base code) changes - that @girish has helped me with and allowed me to contribute to in the development of my apps which I’m grateful for.

I personally can't pay for everything but happy to send a few dollars in thanks.

[ultraviolet]

cool, thanks all happy to do this in my spare time to give back to the community. Great to see us all working together to get some amazing apps out there, can't wait to see what the future has in store!

I imagine there are people like me that want to use Ghost's members feature. I did edit my theme to include a link to my ko-fi account for one-time donations.

[jdaviescoates]

@staff could we please have editing post options reverted to how they were before the recent update?

I want to edit the OP in this thread to keep updating it when new apps get packaged and released by the community, but can no longer edit old posts.

Thanks!
