Virtual areas in root

[fel64]

Currently to add an area to the forum, such as a memberlist, a file has to be added in root which then has to load a template file. I suggest that it is made possible to create these areas by passing a function in the plugin as reference which can then do stuff, in the exactsame way as this is possible for profile areas. They would then be accessible at the bburi/areaname/.

Or rather at ?areaname for setups without pretty permalinks.

Here's a workaround that I used to make this work for my needs,
ie. /forums/view/listplugins
{{{ function view_listplugins($view) {
if ($view=="listplugins") {bb_load_template( 'list-plugins.php'); exit();}
} add_action( 'bb_custom_view', 'view_listplugins' );

function view_listplugins_filter( $views ) {

global $views;
$viewslistplugins? = "List Plugins Used";

return $views;

} add_filter('bb_views', 'view_listplugins_filter'); }}}

The only problem is it will generate a mysql query as it thinks it has to fill a page. with $topics

We may want to consider switching over to something more like WordPress does: serve everything from index.php and determine what templates to use from the REQUEST_URI.
