PROBLEM GetSimple/Plugins in general
#9
(2015-12-08, 10:30:11)Tyblitz Wrote: I'm also a big supporter of refactoring the Extend repo. The search for one, and some kind of alert-box in the search results if the plugin hasn't been updated in like... 2 or 3 years maybe. Or rather some kind of flag for the state of the plugin which plugin authors could set: eg. beta/test; prod/stable; abandoned/outdated.

Extend is really a big mess of plugins, themes and translations thrown together (at least if you use the search function). The fact that the plugins made for different versions of GS are in there all together with the new ones and no way to filter them out make it worse.
For experienced users probably not a huge problem, but extend is definitely beginner unfriendly.

I find it strange that it's not possible to search inside the main categories, that seems to me the biggest flaw.

What I find particly weird is that if I do a search (using resp as example searchterm) using the (top) searchbar on the extend page I get an url which looks like this:

Code:
http://get-simple.info/extend/search.php?q=resp&search=Search&category=all

It doesn't matter if I change the category=all to category=theme for example or even removing everything after resp, this doesn't seem to do anything. Like there's something missing..
