[NOTICE] vanillaforums.org and the addons site are being updated

Todd

Hi all. Just a heads up that we will be updating the code on vanillaforums.org and the addons site today. I've been getting changes in place mainly on the addons site so that addons are better checked when being uploaded. So now when you upload an addon you won't enter its information like name, description, version etc, but that will be read from the info array. This is all to better facilitate addons checking for updates and whatnot.

Also being changed is the way locales are being accepted to the addons site. Since locale packs never really had a structure to them I've added support for a structure similar to other addons where locales are put in the /locales folder and can be enabled/disabled in the dashboard. Current locale packs can be easily converted to the new format and I'll link to help on that once I get it up.

Super news! Thanks

Raize

Just noticed that, looks good. Will "core" contain all releases of Vanilla?

Adrian

New addons going to end of the line even when recent selected, opened issue on github.

@Raize, Vanilla is now in core, yes. @adriansonline, I will get this fixed.

Todd

Argh. Can you give it a try again?

@Todd Works. But I caught another bug
Four numbered version plugins (eg 2.0.15.1) becomes without version and broken download link.

Cannot update plugins... tried to update Piwik add on with new version. Version number has disappeared and users cannot download.

And cannot edit details :
"Page Not Found

The page you were looking for could not be found."

Adrian

I realize there is a pretty url issue, if you add the new version number to the end, download works.

@DavyB, good catch. This will be fixed when we update .org's code next time.

@Ethneldryt, @adriansonline, @S: I've (hopefully) fixed these issues. Thanks for bearing with me here.

Adrian

@Todd Yep, seems to work. Thank you.

DavyB

@Todd - I got 2 notifications of that one - non-identical but similar
should that be happening? (also @S did not get notified ":" cannot follow an @name )
