README
A flexible user projects extension for Flarum 2 — a showcase page for creator communities. Members publish "projects" (books, games, apps, art, mods, anything) as cards on a dedicated page, with rich, admin-configurable metadata.
Inspired by this community request. Free and MIT-licensed.
Features
- Project cards with an optional cover image, author, categories, key parameters, a short description and link buttons — on a dedicated
/projectspage. - Search & filters — full-text search, category filter and sort (recent / most-liked / A–Z), plus an Add project button.
- Admin-defined categories with an icon and accent colour. A project's main category becomes a badge shown next to the author's name across the forum.
- Custom parameters — define your own typed fields (text, paragraph, number, date, URL, select, yes/no) such as Genre, Age rating or Release date. Choose which show on the card.
- Flexible link/button system — define button slots, optionally restricted to specific domains (e.g. only YouTube links), with default or custom labels. Example for a book: Read Excerpt, Buy, Discuss on Forum.
- Optional moderation — projects can publish instantly or wait for approval, controlled per-group by the
Publish without moderationpermission. - Detail page with forum-formatted content, all parameters and link buttons; link a forum discussion for comments.
- Built-in likes on every project.
- Profile integration — a Projects tab on each member's profile, plus a featured-project badge (their main category's icon, with the project name on hover) next to their username everywhere.
- FoF Badges integration (optional) — award a badge when a member's project is first published.
