Well I ran my "check for updates" and thought I'd just throw out the ones which aren't updating correctly. Benefits the whole community if they're all marked up correctly afterall
jimw, change the following from this:<?php
/*
Extension Name: Simplified Categories
Extension Url: http://lussumo.com/addons/
Description: Adds a user preference to hide details in the category list.
Version: 1.0.0

/*
Extension Name: SimplifiedCategories
Extension Url: http://lussumo.com/addons/
Description: Adds a user preference to hide details in the category list.
Version: 1.0.1
Author: Jim Wurster
Author Url: http://www.jwurster.us/
*/ Basically, the "Extension Name:" and the "Version" need to match the add-ons site exactly.
Lovely job jim, and I understand the brain-not-firing-on-all-cylinders-lately thing - several feeds and nappy changes for a small boy will do that to anyone
I'm thinking that my documentation on how to use this extension is not very clear. A good test of one's extension and documentation is to look at it again after several months and see if you can remember how it works. In addition, I've modified it a lot for my own use and so going back to the original uploaded version is a step back in time.
So, I will update it shortly and upload a new version.
Also, it looks like the extension would never work for the sidepanel part since I had commented out the code to allow it to display in the sidepanel. And the included categories.php was the original Vanilla file, not my modified version. Sorry, again. Once you have this file, you can modify it to add or subtract information from the Categories page.
The extension adds user preferences to control the sidepanel display: - Hide Latest Discussions list - Sort by latest created discussions (by default sorts by discussions with latest comments) - Only show discussions I've commented in
By default, the sidepanel info should display (if you un-comment the following lines of code in the default.php file):
// $Head->AddStyleSheet("extensions/SimplifiedCategories/simplifiedcategories.css");
// $ListName = $Context->GetDefinition('SimplifiedCategoryList');
// $Panel->AddList($ListName);
// $Panel->AddListItem($ListName, $Discussion->Name, $UnreadUrl, '');
// $Panel->AddListItem($ListName, TimeDiff($Context, $Discussion->DateLastActive, mktime()) . $NewString, $LastUrl, '', 'class="SimplifiedCategoryListTime"');
The information will display in the sidepanel.
So, I apologize for it not being clear how to use this and will try to make better documentation in the future.
I will be uploading version 1.0.2 shortly. I know I've helped a couple of you with this extension, but from what I can remember, I never got a lot of comments that it didn't work. Please correct me if I am wrong.
ah got it, it's a latest discussion prime "like" addon, but a tad more advanced, i thought it does the same like the simplified discussions addon and i as admin can set up the global displaying method for all members
