    Still Updating Files…

    Filed under: general — Eric @ 3:38 pm

    I’ve just (hopefully) fixed the BugMeNot timeout. Also fixed the xpi file recognition in the .htaccess file. I’m still adding a few extensions, and most of the hacks are back to the way they were. One thing that’s still annoying me is the alphabetical hack that worked in WordPress 1.2 won’t work here, so I’m looking for another way to list the extensions alphabetically without having to hack the sql database with incorrect post dates.

      Use WordPress 1.5′s static page feature? I’m currently using it to power a couple sites and it’s really slick. That way you can have WP order them alphabetically for you automatically. It can also show them in a nice heirarchy as part of the template. I’ve been really impressed.

      Damn, beaten – and two days ago :(

      Ah well, seconding the “just use static pages” idea :)

      So basically, I’d just have a static page linked to the extensions in alphabetical order? This would work, but hacking the categories (specifically the Extensions category) to display it in alphabetical order would be much neater for my needs. What sucks is I had it working in 1.2, but the files have changed enough in 1.5 to not require the hack in the same place. Blah.

      Plus I noticed that in static pages my comments don’t seem to work.

      Thanks for the bugmenot extention; I’m sure it would be great if I could get it to actually download:/ Is anyone else having a problem installing bugmenot 0.62 (on FF1.04)?

      Hmm.. actually, I cant install any of the extentions hosted on extentions.roachfiend, but can install stuff on the firefox site. Are you performing some sort of maintanace? I can wait:)

      Sorry Dan, I haven’t been doing any maintenance. Is roachfiend.com allowed to install extensions on your browser? Check the first question in the FAQ:
