New Detailed Modification Infos for new plugins

[MrNase]

I just noticed that those are pretty useless if you release a product as the product does everything..

Take this as an example: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93109

I wasn't sure what to select.. It has code changes but those are made with the plugin system. So shall I select it?!

id guess you should check db changes, as itll do db changes manual or not

[Logikos]

Installer Included. Do we check that for plugins? Since RC1 has the Product Manager its an installer right?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Just check all that applies.

[Paul M]

Just check all that applies.Not the most useful answer of the day - the whole point is that they/we are not sure what applies. :)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Well neither am i :D

If your hack need some source to be changed, check 'Code Changes'
If it uses the plugin system, check 'Plugin'
If you plan to offer support, check 'Supported'

etc.....

Since the Product Manager is an Installer, is that one we should check?

I think a new 'Uses Product Manager' is needed...

[Logikos]

Maybe the new hack system will have a better understanding...

[Marco van Herwaarden]

The new Hack Database will have freely definable fields (by admin), so we can easily add/remove/change options on the fly.

Right now i think there are still code edits needed for each change in the options.

[Chris M]

Yeh - So do we check "Includes Installer" or not?:p

If it installs Phrases/Templates/Settings or Queries I tick "Installer included", but that's just my personal thinking.

I think you're right. The new product manager makes the whole tag thing a bit redundant. Maybe have a tick for "product" and if that's not ticked, then have the rest.

[MrNase]

Well it's the question of just adding 'is a product' to the list will be userfriendly.. I think each entry should link to a little help..

There might be users who have difficulties to understand. They may think a product is something like vBulletin and they must buy it or somethinh :)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

The new Hack Database will have help balloons ;)

Technically, plugin code contains code extensions not changes. You aren't really changing any of the default vBCode.

[MrNase]

Hm, that's true.. We can only hope the new hack database will point that out clearly ;)
