Here you will be able to find modifications, third party plugins, guides, hacks/tweaks, and Themes (for the Buzz Server). For those wondering what/why this site exists specifically: The overall purpose of this site is to bring a very simple and organized structure for developers to create, develop, and submit their mods and plugins. They will be able to update and push updates to users, and be able to easily manage their downloads and uploads for users alike (rather then creating lost threads or uploading to other third party sites and having to make new links for updates, ect). Users will be able to find, rate, comment, download; a neat amount of cool stuff for the Buzzserver from the people who submit their modifications and plugins. This brings the third party world of buzz touch in a neat organized community site for anyone to register, upload and download. We already have a few things up! And I am working on 2 plugins now :-) Thanks! http://buzztouchmods.com I want to thank everyone, especially Danny for helping out with the site and the mods! Any questions please post! David.

Wow, that's pretty cool! That'll be a nice repository of stuff to have...I can't wait to see what people end up putting there. Great idea! Mark

Thanks Mark! Me and Danny are testing a menulist header plugin mod now that he has created, there is sure more great stuff to come! Your comment is appreciated, took a long time to build this site! David.

Mark - Drop me an email at aipple at gmail when you get a chance. Slàinte

MacApple, what is your problem?

No problem here, I converse with Mark regularly and wanted to pick his brain. What makes you think I have a problem?

Your comments regarding this site last time were very - seemed very sarcastic and unhappy about this site. I understand if you don't exactly like me, or the site itself, I just feel like your going to pick at others for finding an interest in this. Downloads are for the public, the are no ads, its makes things easy and simple, I see no reason why you would be deterred from this (english is bad sorry). If I am thinking much to much over this, then thats totally my mistake (sometimes I do over think). Take care, David.

Good job, nice one! I hope you have buzztouch approval... How would you deal with support for 3rd party plugins? I guess the submitter would be under no obligation to offer support. No support from the submitter and people would turn to you for support. If you can't help, it'll invariably lead to bad rep for the site. You'd need safeguards in place in the submission terms or disclaimer. Hope you don't get into competition with buzztouch though - I sort of imagined bt going down the wordpress route and having a central repository for 1st/3rd party plugins, accessed from the admin panel, but that's probably a totally wrong assumption.

I told you, I wish you good luck. Keep me posted about the improvements you make to Buzztouch. As God is my witness I'm very excited about other users creating plugins and posting them. 3 guys built up this platform, that is, pardon my French, a shit hot product with nothing else like it around, full stop. Forget what Wordpress did for blogging, this is and will continue to kick that out of the park. I've worked with veteran developers for years, folks that have accolades from MS and Apple and even those crazy Linux gents, (I'm just a sales chap, don't have those talents I'm afraid) but I have never, repeat, NEVER come across, or indeed been lucky enough to discover something game changing until I came across the BT guys. I owe them, we all do. We will, no doubt, see others trying to hijack their traffic and success but that is unfortunately the way of the beast. But with the active and educated community now posting on here we'll all be coming back to www.buzztouch.com for years. Here's to 2012 and to the Buzztouch guys, without which we'd all be, well, *insert your own comment here!* PS - I never mentioned you monetizing the site with ads or not liking you, bizarre reply mate.

Raveyd - Always a pleasure to see your melon, never fails to make me smile! Have a great crazy season and let's connect again soon.

@MacApple I get what you mean MacApple, but again just to stand my point, I am in NO WAY trying to copy, or compete with buzz touch, or hijack traffic, I am making a small site for developers to help bring about a better, and more convient place for third party add ons to be developed and distributed (I'm not seeking benefits for me on this, in which I felt thats what you were saying, hence why I said I was not seeking ads)- indeed bizarre reply, that was my bad - again. Thanks for your kind words through, I'm very excited with this project, really, I have been up for hours working on it and just thinking of the possibilities, mods, plugins, that can come from this, exactly what david is envisioning where buzztouch will be going in the future. Again, thanks for the reply - appreciate it. @Raveyd I'm pretty sure theres no need for buzztouch approval on this site, its a support site for downloads, unless I was somehow monitizing, charging, or claiming to be the same service, I think its under fan site regulations - I'm not totally sure, but I'm sure buzztouch, david, wouldn't have a problem with this at the moment. Also, no possible way to get into competition with buzztouch, this offers downloads and uploads for third paty plugins designed for buzztouch use only - can't build competition on something that does not offer the same service - but in fact - a support service :-) As for your support questions/concerns, I'm working very hard on the upload system to be able to give full contact to developers for support, like a official support thread for each download thats uploaded, then a extensive FAQ on each plugin, a standard README and INSTRUCTIONS file in each single download with a step-to-step manual of how to install a mod, plugin, theme, ect. I'm hoping to make this as easy, and as painless as possible for users and developers alike. (this is all a work in progress!) Take care, and thanks for the kind words! David.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. Are you familiar with the Bard?

English is not my first language so I try to explain things to make sure people understand (I'm afriad when i explain things they don't unless I can say it right), if it sounds like I am repeating myself haha - apologies MacApple. Take care, David.

No need to apologise to me, American English isn''t my first language either so we have that in common! Take care, Keith Ps Google the phrase The lady doth protest too much, methinks then drop into Google translate. PPS Once again, I wish you all the best in your endeavors. I am in NO WAY trying to copy, or compete with buzz touch, or hijack traffic - I know, I know. NOBODY is capable of competing, again, thou doth protest too much, forget it. I wish you all the best, I truly do.

Thanks, guess google is my best friend :-) Now I have to go downstairs to wrap the presents! Best wishes, David.

Never would have guessed English wasn't your first language, repect for that. Thinking about it, every great software has a semi official/unofficial mods forum, I guess it's a compliment to the software. Good luck with it! @MacApple - Great to know! Have a great holiday and new year too - and everybody else.

@Ravwyd You know I love me some twisted melons man. @David (not THE David) - Have fun wrapping up the gifts, wrap them up in your own style and put your name on them!

I'm going to post here just to get the updates of this thread, so far its so dramatic and hilarious... I'm lovin'it! LOL BTW, I think raveyd is right, every major service has an unofficial forum (WP, Drupal, Joomla, all of them)! Happy holidays everyone!!!

love it tony. :p Added a nice santa to the site, we have 8 mods and 20 downloads so far, kinda cool :) http://buzztouchmods.com/ Anyways... yes, actually dutch is my first language! haha. I might be good at spelling, but grammar is a whole different story! Take care, David.

My old boss was Dutch (probably still is) He always used to look over my shoulder at my work (which was pretty easy as he was about 6' 8''), mutter something like ''hotfre domma'' (???????????) then walk off shaking his head. I guessed he was complimenting my work....

your spelling is way off (godverdomme) xD, but that translates into god damnit, it's a pretty vulgar word in our language xD bahaha ;p

I speak German, fairly similar to Dutch to an educated ear. The Santa looks nice. raveyd - probably still is Dutch, love It. So @Shelechi, these new plugins, what do they do?

Thanks mate. German is pretty similar, I always said it's dutch with a very heavy accent ;p I can understand it, just can't speak it! haha. Well, here is the first one JUST released! http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=2A07A2008EEA6F9878767F2 The second plugin working on will add header images to the simple menu list, and a third is a better gallery plugin) (from scratch!). David.

So let me get this right, users have to sign up to your site to gain access to some tutorials that are freely available on here?

I havent been able to separate tutorials from downloads yet (want to make a separate system for it) - but tutorials should be accessible without logging in - ive just been working on that plugin all day and havent done much to the site since yesterday (I think only 3 tutorial is there?), I will look into it :) Take care, David.

So the tutorials, the ones that are available on BT with no sign up or download you've added two layers of complexity to? First the sign up, second the download. You follow what I am saying? Just release the tutorials as plain old text posts on your site so all can view, wait, Buzztouch does that already.

Yes thats what I plan on doing, (tutorials as plain text) only what buzz touch does not do is organize it properly (guides are not the main thing for the BTM site (plugins and mods are), they are just there for people who are already browsing around to help spread information). Take care. David.

So you plan on releasing the tutorials as good ol plain ol text, as they are available in here? I'm spent, doesn't make sense. Seems charlatan is the same in English and Dutch. Good luck mate. I'll be here though. Not going to sign up for your site at the moment though, sorry. Nothing there I can't get here.

That plugin you cant get here (yet), but suit yourself, you obviously have a grudge - I'm not going to fuel your posts anymore after this. Also, you need to try and grab simple concepts more - maybe you simply can't understand and need some help? Yeah. Thats probably it. If you took the time to read and comprehend my posts to you, we wouldn't have this problem. I get that guides are here - but my site offers better organization and search - so why not take advantage of that while im at it? Guides will be available as a secondary list for those who come for mod downloads. They are not primary of the site, but the traffic I get for mod downloads might aswel be directed to guides that are easier to find there then here to help and better the community and its support - it just. makes. sense. Take care, David.

What plugin can you not get? The 'advanced simple menu? Contradiction in terms that you'll never grasp. You have given me a good laugh, thanks for that, these are not plugins, I'll try my best to grab the simple concepts like 'advance simple menu' Copycat, like charlatan is the same in English and Dutch. Will there be a site in the future offering BT plugins? Most likely, will it be yours? Highly unlikely. They say first beats best, not always true though. grudge Noun: A persistent feeling of ill will or resentment resulting from a past insult or injury. No grudge here.

Merry Christmas. David.

Yip, good will to all hard working men. 'but my site offers better organization and search' I'd love to buy you for what you are worth and sell you for what you think you are worth mate. Organizing 6 threads on a template showcasing others work, go you you rock star! Guys, anyone reading this thread, don't waste you time on BuzzTouchMods.con ask people on here right now, thousands of users, proper brains and techs and not people just trying to hijack others work. Merry Christmas.

http://buzztouchmods.com (working link) Take care all! David

Hey MacApple, I'm a big fan of yours, you are one of the most active, helpful and funny guys on the BT Forum, but I just can't understand your point on this discussion. To me it doesn't seem like Shelechi is trying to compete with BT (please note that I havent registered on his site, just a quick look so far) and he does have a point when saying that the BT forum (altough I love it here) is somewhat complicated and frustrating to newcomers. Im sure you, me, raveyed, gonorthwest and a few others know our way around this forum. We can all get the Push setup thread in a matter of seconds, but think about the guy that just met BT... John Doe comes here, starts his new app and heards about PN, he goes in the forum and searchs 'Push Notifications', what he gets?! About 15 threads and wich one is the right one for Everest tutorials?! None of them!!! So instead of getting a straight option to the how-to Mr.Doe is going to spend from 15 min to an hour looking for the tutorial, and when he does (considering he's a newbie) he will spent another 2-3 hours learning the tutorial, with this kind of time consuming tasks any minute that can be saved counts. Taking this example in consideration I really appreciate what GoNorthWest and Selechi are trying to do (at least in theory). Will Selechi endeavor be succesfull?! IMHO, no! Why? BT has already recognized the limitations of their forums, so they have been working hard on a new forum and probably other supports solutions. And where is best to get help than with the guys who invented BT?! That's why I think Selechi idea is good but I'm pretty sure it has a short life. And like Raveyd said, every good idea/service has an unofficial forum. I don't think that Apple cares about stackoverflow nor does WP cares about the thousands plugins sites/forums around the web. I really wish to know David (The Almost-Almighty) toughts about this, but I'm guessing he doesnt want to get into this and I think he's right. And MacApple lets agree on something, its going to take a whole-bunch-lot-more than a cute forum to actually compete with BT. BT has become a monster, and there's noway to stop it (unless you're another monster)! Please forgive the huge post!!! I'm going out to shop for a turkey now!!! (a dead one!) =D

mmmmmmmmmmm.... tuuuuurkeeeeeey.... *Dribbles*..... (my Homer S. impression). ...Not working today, just making pointless and off topic forum posts.... Aaaaand.... off to the next forum....

@raveyd - Pointless off topic posts are the way forward! Good impression. I just shuffled backwards and forwards and sang out loud 'he's got a double tongue, you'd never think he would lie in your honour! Have a good UK turkey day my good man. @tonycelestino - Cheers, appreciate the comments. I'll try and break down my stand for you, I was going to convey my views through the medium of dance and put it on youtube but time, I'm afraid, is not on my side today. Searching the forum for PN, good example. There have been so many discussions on here about the forum, where it is going and what it lacks. It isn't a forum, it serves that purpose right now and does a decent enough job. People ask questions and some BT ninjas jump in and help if they can, even if that is just a link to a forum post or a stackoverflow tutorial. So what is the solution to this problem? I don't believe the solution is an external site, that requires a sign up, then download, as I mention above adding 3 more layers of complexity does not take care of the problem at hand. There's no success like failure and failure's no success at all, yeah? At the moment one of the limitations is actually a blessing. It encourages people to search, delve and discover. This creates a deeper understanding of what is actually going on, you follow me? Every good service does have an unofficial forum / channel / download. My point, which you seem to agree with, is that I don't believe this BuzzTouchMods.con is the way forward or the solution to the problem. I saw the creator ask for the source code of the existing 'forum' so he could replicate on another site as he loved it so much but then goes on to say what a failure the current iteration is. There are so many smart folks on here, I reckon, with a little bit of team work / crowd sourcing / forum jiggery pokery, call it what you will we could all have put together something to help the community, ease the burden of the BT guys and keep them coding. Again and at the risk of repeating myself, I can't wait to have a plugins site where real, useful, hand coded plugins by the BT ninjas on here is available. Is a mod site the way forward? Without a doubt, I see it being a little bit different though. I need to run, had left this thread but you deserved a reply. I don't think that GoNorthWest is involved in the mod site, he takes care of tutorials, wiki and the forum and posts his help files on here. If only he'd add them to another site, with signup and download requirements we'd be able to find them easier. What is wrong with submitting to the http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/ page? Or even the http://www.btugwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page ? No sign up required and managed by some of the top gents (and lassies) on here. I'll say it again, I wish the kid all the success he deserves for his work, I'll probably turn out to be wrong, I often am. Have a great weekend and remember, even the President of the United States must sometimes have to stand naked! Here is my Christmas gift to the thread, 3 wee sites with some cool things that can be added to your apps. 1. http://www.photoswipe.com/ 2. http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/64-free-tab-bar-icons-for-ios-apps/ 3. http://alexgibson.github.com/shake.js/examples/basic.html (browse on your phone, cool shake gesture plugin) They'll all be freely available on BuzztouchMods.con soon no doubt!

No doubt! http//buzztouchmods.com (working link). We all deserve our opinions MacApple - we can agree to disagree, I wish the best for you as well. Merry Christmas eve! (time is flying by!) Take care all, David.

I rather not think of Mr. Obama in that way! LOL @raveyd after the great software, the great community, the great forum, the great BT staff and everything else, your off-topic posts are the best things in BT!!! @MacApple now I see your point and I agree with pretty much everything you wrote. I started here with zero understanding of xcode, objc, parsers, JSON and all, and by the lack of a better forum (again, I love this forum with all its failures, thats real love man!!! LOL) and search engine I found myself going crazy on google searches, hardcore dev forums and apple guidelines and documentation and thanks to this 'failure' I'm now a better 'developer' than I would be if I where to find an easy answer. You're totally right! Well, I'll just wait and see how this ends up.

@tony The funny thing is he is right and wrong, my sites primary function is for third party mod and plugin downloads - it shouldn't stop anyone from searching these forums for basic understanding of buzz touch, finding and searching to learn is definitely buzztouch.com - and then the internet (as stated, we all learned that way) but to find downloads, plugins, all that stuff, BTM works well too (its not meant to replace you from finding out how xcode, buzztouch, all that good stuff works, that has zero to do with the site; so his post is completely useless - true to make you think he is right (little tricks huh?) - but useless in that has nothing to do with it ;) Main point, he puts words in my mouth and makes up problems that are non existant, perhaps jealous? who knows, I can't read this guy. I never said my site was replacing this forum, its a downloads database site, I dont think he quite understands the logic yet - but in time. maybe. This does not mean we can't all get along and look forward to buzztouch, its people, and its development for the future - we can all agree its an amazing service! Lets get back to helping the community thrive - together. It's our differences in opinions that make us work together to find universal solutions to problems - and makes for some great discussion and growth in ourselves for a better understanding. Some people embrace change for the better, and some are afraid of it. It's understandable - I have seen it many times before. Take care, David.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I install the plugins ?

Not stupid at all! Make sure you have buzz touch server installed (that's for plugins). In your server FTP, add the plugins you downloaded in /files/plugins/ Then refresh your plugins on your website the server is on. There is a howto link around here somewhere, I'm on my iPhone so I can't find it for you - just buzz around the support section! David

Since we are sharing opinions here I would like to say to you MacApple, that my opinion of you is that you are a very sarcastic, condesending and narcissistic individual. Your reply to raveyd Pointless off topic posts are the way forward! This post that David made was his own topic and yet you decided to be the first to make an off topic post You said -------- Mark - Drop me an email at aipple at gmail when you get a chance. Slàinte My response --------- Why would you do that in here? Your post to try and connect with someone was off topic. Had no reason to be made in this thread. You could have searched for a thread that Mark started and made your post in Mark's thread asking him to contact you. Wouldn't that have been the RIGHT thing to do? Maybe people will like the ability in David's new FAN site forum to be able to contact each other without having to make a public post to get people to email or contact them. In regards to anyone setting up a offsite fan/community built around fans of buzztouch.... David setting up a community does not in any way take away from the developers of buzztouch. It only proves that they have a great solution and people like David are willing to put in the time and effort to help support and make buzztouch even more popular. I can see potential for all kinds of features that David could set up for people to connect with plugin developers through the use of his current forum system that isnt available here. I have a need to have plugins developed and as of right now there is no place for me to reach developers here since there is no personal message system available nor is there a listing for developers to advertise they are for hire. I dont have an interest in posting a project in a public venue as I have proprietary projects I wish to be developed for myself. Davids FAN site would be a perfect place for myself, others like me and developers to connect and do business and since that isnt available here what is the problem with a fan (david) to see a need and fill it? Especially if he has the time to do so and its no sweat off your ____s. I can do without wise cracks and negative attitude towards anyone that is trying to give me choices where to get my information about buzztouch. I am an adult and can make my own decisions. I do not accept opionions as fact and do my own investigations as to what works best for me. I suspect most people are more like me even yourself. Heck I might want to use his community just so I dont have to worry about someone like you hijacking my threads. Here are more responses in response to some of your comments you made above... 1. You say --------- Yip, good will to all hard working men. 'but my site offers better organization and search' I'd love to buy you for what you are worth and sell you for what you think you are worth mate. Organizing 6 threads on a template showcasing others work, go you you rock star! Guys, anyone reading this thread, don't waste you time on BuzzTouchMods.con ask people on here right now, thousands of users, proper brains and techs and not people just trying to hijack others work. Merry Christmas. My response --------- He just lanched his site... Im sure as time goes by and with constructive feedback and requests it will have more than 6 threads. And how do you know what he has planned as he builds his FAN site and community? Proper brains and techs are not only located here and DO hang out in other places. 2. You say ----------- It isn't a forum, it serves that purpose right now and does a decent enough job. My Response ----------- It is a forum because that is what the tab says on the navigation to start and locate threads. Buzztouch says this is a forum we are in. 3. You say ------- I don't believe the solution is an external site, that requires a sign up, then download, as I mention above adding 3 more layers of complexity does not take care of the problem at hand. My response ------- If you want to make a difference then get with buzztouch and advocate for the better solution here. Until then If someone wants to and has time and resources to build a community then let them. If they dont like an external solution they will not use it and those that will like it for THEIR reasons (whether they are in line with yours or not) then let them decide for themselfs. 4. You say ---------- Again and at the risk of repeating myself, I can't wait to have a plugins site where real, useful, hand coded plugins by the BT ninjas on here is available. Is a mod site the way forward? Without a doubt, I see it being a little bit different though. My response ------------ Until your dream happens, we have a place that someone took the time to allow people to post mods and plugins. Is it your ideal idea of how it would work? Is it on the same site as buzztouch? No! but its something that is in place now and you didnt have to do the work. Since you are fond of sayings how about this one... If you have nothing good to say, It's better to say nothing at all. If I were like you I would tell you to go translate the above saying in google, but I will spare the sarcastic comment. Bottomline... Your take away from this should be... I am not a fan of your condescending, sarcastic, I know best comments at the expense of hurting others. Richard Wing

Thanks for sharing, as the Romans used to say, 'Felix dies.' fo·rum/ˈfôrəm/ Noun: A meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged. Looks like what is going on here is the dictionary definition of a forum. Vir sapit qui pauca loquitur. Vale.
