Simply put, MyPlaza is a powerful MyBB plugin, adding a
money/shop system to your MyBB boards.
MyPlaza is a very complex MyBB plugin, with a plethora of
features. Here's a "quick" summary:
* Powerful shop system with many features - just to
name some:
o Obviously, the ability to change the cost of items, including
global rates for them, and the ability to set different premium rates for
each usergroup.
o Ability to set a stock limit for items.
o Ability to define restocking amounts and periods for items.
o Ability to set purchase limits for items, including time
periods.
o Ability to set icons for each of your items and categories to
help give them a special touch
.
o Ability to set and define custom formatting for each of your
categories and items.
o Ability to set usergroup permissions on different categories,
and hide certain items - plenty of flexibility in controlling
permissions.
o Ability to hide individual items from the stats page.
o Number of purchases made by a user, and for items are
recorded.
o Full logging of all purchases.
o Fully customize your money system - from options, such as the
name of the currency, to the number of decimal places used.
o Includes a stats page, and a user purchase history page, in
addition to the plaza.
* Extensible through modules - The MyPlaza framework
is an excellent platform on which modules can be built upon. This, being
one of the key features of MyPlaza is a large discussion topic on its own.
See below for information on included modules.
* Enhnaced by JavaScript and AJAX - Allowing many
actions to be performed without requiring full page loads. This reduces
server load, reduces bandwidth consumption & loading times, and looks
much nicer. Users with Javascript disabled are also catered for.
* Powerful administration options - Mass move/handle
items, log viewing and deleting, setting users' money plus a mass money
reset features... there's too much to mention.
* MyBB Integration - MyPlaza was designed to be
integrated with MyBB (and MyBB alone). The integration is "seamless", using
MyBB's theme, language and plugin systems and taking advantage of the many
features offered by MyBB.
* Easy to manage - With automatic updating
capabilities, ability to directly install extensions without the need for
using FTP (including a full automated backup system), quick links sprinkled
around the AdminCP and a streamlined interface, administering MyPlaza is
easy.
* Secure - all queries pass to the database are
escaped and permissions and SIDs are checked for all actions. This ensures
your board is safe from attacks such as CSRF or request forging.
* Speed - MyPlaza employs many optimization
techniques to ensure your board is not bogged down by slow code. With many
optimized queries, caching and the use of shutdown functions, you can be
sure that MyPlaza will have a minimal effect on your server resources.
* Organization - A large focus has been placed on
making MyPlaza very user friendly - to users and admins alike. The
front-end is easy to understand and navigate. The AdminCP has been designed
with minimal clutter in the CP menu, and large amounts of settings are
grouped.
* Easy Installation - MyPlaza no longer requires any
code modifications to be performed, meaning that you just simply upload and
activate. Many checks are performed to ensure that it's a painless
process.
* Many other features - Attention to detail was a key
thought during the development phase, and many undocumented features are
present to make MyPlaza just that every bit better.
