Knewt: I have to correct myself about implementing the "description length limiting feature".
I can not decide yet, if I will implement the "
description length limit feature", into
Extended Links plugin, or I will develop a separate plugin, which has link add, modify, delete related features...
Quote:
Hows that extended plugin coming along, when do you expect to release you first version?
I'm developing it in my free time, so developments are going slowly. I would be glad to tell you, that it will come soon, but there is still what to do. Currently I can not tell you when will be exatly released, but as you will see I'm getting close to the finish line.
Let me show you, what is implemented already & what I plan to implement...
Features of my Extended Links plugin (currently implemented or under development):
-
Sorting links in a category (link reordering) ascending-descending by selected field (earlier discussed as "Customized link sorting") -
implemented -
3 level [new] images feature (placed near links & near category names on category page &
home page) -
implemented -
Page Timer to measure display time (displayable in templates) -
implemented -
Link numbering (with multi page support) -
implemented -
Quick jump to link previous-next, top, bottom -
implemented -
Template based Related category names (format taken from relcategories.html) -
implemented - Short form name storage in the DB (space saving), then
long form name display in links on category pages & home page. -
implemented -
Display Last X links (displayed on home page) -
under development -
Group by similar links (means: when we sort by a field type, the similar types are grouped & separated. If we sort by Contact_Name field, then same Contact Names will listed together, and separated from other Contact Names by separator lines) -
planned -
Quick jump to Similar links group (downdrop menu to quickjump to groups on the page) -
planned -
Display only filled fields in links -
planned - many
options for all features above -
planned That's all currently. As you see most of the job is done, but there is still work to do.
The
Extended Links plugin v1.0 will be commercial and will cost $67 (payment will be processed by Kagi or RegSoft).
Buyers will
get 6 month free e-mail support and
free upgrades for minor changes, bug fixes.
Main,
major releases may have upgrade cost.
If anybody has ideas, related to link displaying, suggest it here, so I can add to the to do list.
Suggestions are welcome.
Also let me know, if somebody would be interested in this plugin, when it will be released (inquiries can posted here into the forum or by private message or by email).
