Premium Extensions for miniBB

Add-ons (also called "plugins" or "extensions") are pieces of code that add new features or unique tweaks to your miniBB forum. miniBB comes free, also as many original extensions and add-ons are released by our team as open source at no charge. However there are also premium plugins for the customers who need more to care about their community. Buying one of some of them, you are also investing into development and improvements of the main miniBB core, and so it means a donation, but you get an important feature instead.

What will you get buying our Premium packages

All add-ons are pure open source PHP scripts and are not crypted with an encoding program; however, they are not released under GPL license, and buying them you are buying only one copy for your message board, keeping all rights to modify the code, but not to distribute it.

All plugins are programmed following our conceptual "non-core-destructive" method: you are keeping the possibility to upgrade the main miniBB core easily in the future, not re-installing the add-ons again. It is not necessary to change main forum's database structure, adding new tables: all add-ons are either files-based, either use their own tables. Each extension provides its own language pack, which could be translated easily by the same principle as any of the generic language files for miniBB. All add-ons have W3C valid HTML.

Installation of any plugin is as simple as copying/pasting the text. Everything you need to do is follow the instructions and edit some script files, pasting the provided code(s).

Inquiring custom work for your forum, you may get 10-15% discounts when additionally ordering some of these plugins.

If you have a new feature to offer, check our working fees. We provide professional consulting and programming services, and everything is possible to implement at a high quality level. All sponsors and donors are being saved in our miniBB Hall of Fame; besides building an elite forum software, you will be also involved in the Creating of a Legend.

Ordering-few-packages-at-once-Tip: upon your order 2checkout.com server creates a session storage which is similar to a "shopping basket". Choose the product you want to buy, click its link and visit plugin's page. You will notice a "... - BUY NOW!" link in the below part of the page or at the top right corner of it. Click this link usual way if you want to purchase ONLY this add-on and nothing else. Open this link in the new window (in most cases - holding left "Shift" button on your keyboard and clicking the link simultaneously) if you want to purchase this add-on and something more. Then close the window, choose another product and click on "BUY NOW" link opening it in new window again. You should notice there are 2 products in your "basket". Alternatively, open pages in the same window, but then click "Continue Shopping" button which appears on 2checkout order page for returning to miniBB premium packages.

Why to buy legally?

If you invest in your project legally, you will anyway and always get your profit. If you are using the stolen software, your project will never become a top site, but the others will steal from you. It's a fact we know as from our own experience.

If you buy legally, you are a smart person living in 21th century. If you steal the intellectual property, you are the thief left in the past.

Legal customers have an ability to upgrade their add-ons in the future. After your order has been passed, you receive a special access code to our customers area. It will list the newest versions of all premium packages you've been ordered, with the possibility to re-download them.

You will get NO SUPPORT from us, nor paid nor free, if we will suspect you've got the premium package from the unknown source. You will get no upgrades.

Purchasing and downloading from the miniBB official website you get a trusted file. We provide a warranty that any file you download and/or install from the customers section does not contain trojans, spyware, viruses and the other insecure/non-verified/vulnerable/illegal code. We are also up-to-date in fixing of all "human" mistakes which may be disclosured, so you always get a pulse.

If you get a software which comes from an unknown source (also known as "pirated" or "hacked" software), there is a big risk to catch a "trojan". "Trojans" are programs which operate legally and so can not be determined at a virus level, that's why the are the most dangerous software in the terms of your security and privacy. If you are brave enough to steal and install a "pirated" open source script, be sure your personal information may be stolen by the 3rd party.

It never happens with the software we provide. Always avoid installing/using packages which come from an unknown source.

Why spreading the paid add-ons is not safe?

The license which comes with any of our premium add-ons, says "Your use of the Software is unlimited to a number of Users and Servers". We're legally accepting unlimited use of the plugins with the unlimited number of the original miniBB copies installed (until it doesn't go against our Copyright policy). That means you can buy once and install the plugin(s) on as many sites as you like. This is the very advantageous terms of the License you will never meet anywhere else.

However, it's a known fact that many users also sharing their premium add-ons with the friends, colleagues etc. Despite we see a License violation here, if you think the person you share the file with can be trusted, spread the file on your own risk. No support will be granted for such kind of files or persons anyway. However if you spread the file publicly, publish it on other sites for public (free) download, you are risking a lot with your own security and reputation. Remember that the software which is not released free, means a lot for your own privacy.

Thank you for your understanding and honest support in advance!
