Wanted to use this topic to outline some feature requests for any coder who wants to help with this. I believe Xenforo is coded in PHP but I don't know much about this stuff.

The gist of the plugin needs to basically sync ranks between forum and server. There are a few plug ins that do this already, but I am not sure if any of them work with Forge or our perms system.

Heres a few of them if you wanna take a look

XenPErmissions: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/xenpermissions.201/
XenSync: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/xensync.29535/

Thats the basic functionality we need for the plugin, but optionally I'd like to take it farther. I'd like users on the forums to be able to use their Minecraft avatar face as the default avatar once they sync, but with the option to change whatever they want. I'd also like for their minecraft username to be displayed on the forum, maybe under their profile picture.

Theres another system that already does this: hypixel.net

Go check out their forums and their user profiles. They have an achievement/trophy system synced with their forum as well which might be something we want to look at.

If anyone else has any ideas on how to improve this plugin and sync the forum with the server, let me know!

Just to confirm requirements - XenPermissions syncs from XenForo group to MC server, XenSync looks to be the reverse (MC server group controls Xen group): which is correct master->slave direction? XenSync's other features also seem to favor the MC servers as 'master' (in game forum registration, etc). We're assuming forum user ID = MC user ID, from what I can see, right?
