[Vanilla API] Reporting a non-existing method

nofearinc

Hello,

Using 2.0.17.8 here, could be fixed in latest release.

I've been trying to integrate an external API to Vanilla and trying to call a "Register" function to the UserModel. My Error message was replying that xRegister function was not found (with the x prefix before). Spent 1.5h grepping through the code for xRegister but no luck until I debugged and saw that it was actually non-existing Register method.

Just a feedback - don't report a 'x' methods cause it is hard to find later.

Thanks
Mario

Very very nice feedback man! Anything else you want to share?

So far so good, I was thinking about the "Unable to write to a config file .../config.php" when changing theme or options. Since I work on external servers as well, probably some helpful messages could be added like: "Please check your file/server permissions" or something like that. My clients start with "I can't change the theme" and it takes several messages exchanged to get to the "It is written that I am not allowed to persist data in this file".

It is probably subjective, but i think that you could add extra technical description for this one.

My 2 cents so far,
Mario
