Mark, what about adding the "Pimped" (bloody awful name) extension here so people can jus click instead of asking? I edited it to say "Installed Extensions" instead of "Installed Bling" (gah!).
Played Mark Actually, you know what, that extension's due an update, so the extension names link directly to the correct extension page on the new site
Hmmm... isn't showing the full add-on list (here or elsewhere) dangerous?
All that exposed bling could give nefarious peeps/script kiddies info on creating an attack vector... (a little like wearing exposed bling in the NYC subway while p*ssfaced, after 2AM on a Tue. night)
By the way, I prefer bling over pimped. Bling is expression of wealth, whereas Pimped somehow implies hiding the truth... (think of MTV's car pimping series, surface looks good but the underlying structure is rotten)
The potential of someone using an extension exploit didn't get past me. IMHO, where this gets dangerous is when they appear in search engine results. This easily allows a script to search and get a list of targets, which is why that listing only works if you are signed in.
I really should update that extension. But since its one of my first I don't fully understand the code. (borrowed from Vanilla itself, along with one of Jazzman's extensions)
Hate the pimped/bling metaphor also... but its cute in a strange way.
Actually, perhaps a good upgrade to da Bling/Pimp-Nilla add-on: show add-on names only, hide actual version numbers...(?) Would solve (part) of the Search Engine issue, not SirNot? While we're at it, let's the vanilla version number an image too.
