It's pretty easy to install a plugin

Download the plugin   →   Log in to your forum   →   Click "Plugins"   →   Browse to the plugin.zip and click "Add plugin"

At the moment there are only a few plugins available for esoTalk. In the future, this page will feature a more comprehensive and searchable collection of plugins.

Shouts version 1.0 by esoTalk team

Adds a section to the user profile page in which users may post short "shouts".

Supports the emoticons plugin.

Super sticky version 1.0 by esoTalk team

Super stickies are upgraded versions of the "sticky" label. When this plugin is enabled, search results will be ordered in the following manner:

1. unread super-sticky'd conversations
2. unread sticky'd conversations
3. unread conversations (ordered by most recent activity)
4. read conversations (ordered by most recent activity)

Emoticons version 1.0 by esoTalk team

Automatically replaces certain text-emoticons with their graphic equivalent. Comes with 30 soft-style ink-outline emoticons in alpha png format (esoTalk includes an IE6/5.5 alpha png compatibility hack, stupid IE). Developers may replace or extend the emoticon set using this plugin's built-in hooks.

The emoticons themselves are available in SVG format under a Creative Commons Attribution license.

Captcha version 1.0 by esoTalk team

Provides a challenge to users creating new accounts, aimed at preventing automated sign-ups. The number of characters can be altered in the config settings.

For this plugin to work, your PHP webserver must have the GD extension enabled.

Debug version 1.0 by esoTalk team

Displays a whole bunch of technical info when you're logged in as an admin, including script execution time, SQL query log, POST/GET/COOKIE/FILES/SESSION superglobal content, and AJAX request data.

Pretty useful if you're making a plugin or customization, or if you're just interested in how esoTalk does stuff.

Want to make your own plugins? See the tutorial to get started. It helps to have some basic knowledge of PHP!
