Age and School Calculator

[Emerson Rook]

Hello All,

I am coming to ask if someone can develop this plugin. I believe it should be able to work in either V6 or V5 so if someone might be able to do it I will pay to have it completed.

Here is an example of what I want. www.magical-hogwarts.com/index.php?action=rpg_age

I think this is the mod, it was made for SMF forums. github.com/cody3647/RPG-Age-Calculator

I think it should be pretty straight forward. If you need any other examples please message me.

Thank you and hope someone might be able to do this.

It looks like the reference is written in PHP, which can't be used on PB. I am not 100% sure you can do this with just javascript, but if you can it's probably a significant amount of work regardless of whether or not it is "straightforward".

The chances of this getting filled (not by me, I don't write plugins) are better than most but probably not super high regardless if you're willing to pay since looking at the php in the repo shows a lot of functionality, just to levelset your expectations.

I'm not so sure that the GitHub code is the code that was used. At the very bottom of the SMF forum page you linked, I saw this:

CODED EXCLUSIVELY FOR MAGICAL HOGWARTS BY DAPHNE.

The name on the GitHub page is Cody. So, if the forum's code is different than the GitHub code, there may be the possibility if it being just HTML, CSS and JS - but I didn't look at the source to check that.

However it's coded, I have to agree with Kami that it's still a significant amount of work. Also, I don't believe that plugin authors know what ID/Class changes have been made between V5 and V6 (unless they are one of the ones able to create their own V6 test forum for closed beta where they might be able to look at that) - so one cannot say that a plugin like this would be compatible between the 2 versions.

Plugins are typically written to work off of a vanilla theme's ID's and Classes, so any changes to those can break the plugin. Since I don't know what changes to any ID's/Classes that have been made to V6, I wouldn't take this on right now - considering the amount of work that would need to go into it as well as the possibility of having to rewrite all of that work for V6.
