There's still an issue... well, THE issue: due to the way Extend works, plugin update check doesn't report newer releases of this NM (updated) version (neither does the Updater plugin).
A way to fix this would be renaming the plugin: instead of news_manager.php it would now be newsmanager.php or news_manager_something.php (same for the plugins/news_manager folder) - for Extend it would be a different plugin and updates would be checked properly.
However this would break compatibility with several complementary plugins (some mine, some from others) that should be patched/updated to work properly. At least these:
- NM RSS (@ReedMurphy)
- I18N Search for NM posts (@sbatko)
- NM CreatePost
- NM Toolbar
These two would also be affected, but I could make the changes in NM in a way so that they don't need to be changed:
- NM Addons
- Pages & Comments (@cumbe)
However, if we can live without this issue fixed (I do), I'm not doing the rename in NM 3.0 and leave it for a future version (anyway I'm not sure if I'd do another rename in the long term, and I don't want this to be annoying)
Thoughts?
