[Pockets Addon] Problem: Roles and Page settings broken?
@Todd
Pockets is a _really_ well designed plugin. Kudos. So I'm thinking that I'm probably just overlooking something here...
I have a pocket in the panel at given index 2. My Vanilla install is version 2.0.11.
Neither the Page settings nor the Roles conditions seem to work. Setting the Page to anything besides (All) makes the pocket disappear from all pages. And setting a role condition doesn't do anything at all: all roles seem to be able to see the pocket.
Any idea of what might be going on?

Are we to assume that the current version of this plugin (and others? which others? all the ones here?) is to be found on github, not on the Vanilla addons list here?
Is there anywhere on this site where that is made clear? I can't find any reference to it in the doco.
Also, I see at github that you (assuming you are tburry) made some change to class.pockets.plugin.php on May 7, 2011, but the addon itself here shows a last update date of November 2010. I'm not sure what we're meant to do with that -- is the November 2010 version here an old version, and we need to download the github version, or just the newer files from github, or...
Again, I'm not trying to be difficult here, but the process is very unclear, at least to me.
Further, why are some plugins on github? Are those ones written/maintained by the Vanilla devs? If so, same question as before: should we expect that the most current working versions can be found here in the actual Vanilla addons directory, given they are in some sense 'core' plugins maintained by the devs? Are versions at github not ready for primetime in some sense?
I've been champing at the bit to get my busy community site from 1.1.10 to the 2.x branch for over a year now, but functionality (mostly achieved through some key plugins like nuggets/pockets) isn't quite there yet. I'd be happy to get involved in fixing code and submitting bugs if it will help things along, but I am honestly unclear on what the process is here (and I admit I am a bit bewildered by github).
Is it ready for primetime? I'm going to go give it a go on my testbed...
Edit: Bummer. I can't figure out how to make it do the Magic.
So hooray, and I guess I'll just try to remember to always check there too, if (an Approved?) plugin is not working...
That's why not of this was announced yet.
After all this time I'm finally getting a little enthusiastic about moving off of 1.x...
i see that Stav says it is working...am i missing something here? is this fixed or not?
thank you for your help.

Same problem, I believed, that 1.0.3b from Github will fix this problem, but didn't see any changes, still can't limit pocket to a specific role.

Hi, I'm just finishing customizing my new Vanilla based forum, and only thing that I need is to put some Js content on page, that should be displayed only for registered users. Pockets addon would be best option to do this, but in latest vanilla It doesen't work like it should, and as i see not only I have this problem - content is showed for all users, even if I restrict this in addon settings.
I know, that You are probably very busy, and this addon isn't on Your top position to do, but I just only want to know what are the chances (in %) that You will fix this addon in the next ~30 days, beacause I don't know is it worth it to wait or better start create own simple addon to put this content in other way.
@stavthewonderchicken, all of our source code is maintained at github and so it will often be ahead of the stuff in the addons section.
I will try to clear off the pockets issues this week. I don't think they are that difficult to fix.
@Todd is the Github build all fixed up at this point/

Same question as @hbf
@Todd -- Got a chance to look at this? Still stumped. Issue raised on Github in duplicate.
@leafmonster : Did you try the latest version of 'Pockets' available on GitHub? I am using it on my forum, and it's working like a charm.
