Could you review my 0.1alpha version here?

Thank you.

Good start. Your method for replacing the {footnote} tokens looks ok. The installation package is missing the CSS and JS files in the XML manifest, so it's throwing up JS errors when the article loads.

Thank you for your review.

Please Check My 0.1beta

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Ahh, I'm seeing it now; looking nice

At the moment, I have two footnotes in a sample article, but they both point to the anchor #footnotes_2.

It is correct because it should anchor to footer
in the same place and it is '#footnotes_2' beacuse
I use article id.

Am I wrong?

I have make code more easy readable with space and description in 0.1stable

Thank you for every review

Oh, I see now. That's what I get for not looking at the original demo.

Disregard my last comment.

Final Review.

Witchakorn -

You do remarkable work! Looks really great.

One problem - my numbers are not superscripts.

Minor issue:
On the plugin, it says:
Use build-in CSS

Should be:
Use built-in CSS

This is great!

Thank you for review. Now I have fix both of that in my 0.11

Posted: **Tue Jan 01, 2008 3:59 pm**

On my end, both IE and FF and get the superscripts. The code is looking good.

The only suggestion I have would be to place the JS and CSS files in a subfolder so they don't clutter up /plugins/content. You can create a 'footnotes' folder and place them in there. Just add the folder into your package and make this modification to your XML manifest:

Code: Select all

	<files>
		<filename plugin="footnotes">footnotes.php</filename>
		<filename>footnotes/footnotes-side.css</filename>
		<filename>footnotes/footnotes-side.js</filename>
		<filename>footnotes/footnotes-std.css</filename>
		<filename>footnotes/footnotes-std.js</filename>
	</files>

You'll need to make a few quick path changes to the HTML you generate as well.

Joe -

On the folder issue, is there a way to specify the folder name, only, and not each file?

Are you using the default template and getting the superscripts? I wonder why I don't?

I love this extension - really cool stuff!

No, you need to specify each individual file to be copied.

AmyStephen wrote: Are you using the default template and getting the superscripts? I wonder why I don't?

Yes and yes. On both FF on Mac and IE on PC.

No, you need to specify each individual file to be copied.

But I found that can be use in xml too. Please review my plugin again in 0.12 version.

How about my lastest 1.12 version?

Posted: **Thu Jan 03, 2008 6:26 am**

Yea!!!! That is CLASSY!

The subscript works beautifully, now. I really like this extension.

OK, that was easier than I thought! :P Just say !

Code: Select all

	<files>
		<filename plugin="footnotes">footnotes.php</filename>
		<folder>footnotes</folder>
	</files>

Really nice code - elegant - like this, instead of an IF statement:

Code: Select all

$document->addScript( JURI::base() .'plugins/content/footnotes-' . $pluginParams->def('place','std') . '.js');

13, right?

Impressive.

Joe already said things looked good. Looks good to me, too. I accept this task as complete. Maybe you could go grab the Facebook task and see if you might find SOMETHING challenging.

Doing good things, Witchakorn. Upload the extension to Google and we'll close the task.

I claimed Facebook task now but today I'm very busy. I think I will do it 2-3 days later.

Thank you and everyone that review and discuss my plugin.

Posted: **Thu Jan 03, 2008 3:11 pm**

You are too cool!

Ok. I suppose you can take a few days off.

Sincerely, thanks for taking the Facebook app on - talk about some potential there! Can't wait to hear your progress and test your work. This is going to be fun!

Talk to you later,
Amy

PS - Did you add your plugin to the Joomla! Extension Directory? Hope so!

I'm hoping to backport this v.1.5 plugin to Joomla! v.1.0, since I desperately need this feature and can't upgrade to 1.5 until more add on modules/components become 1.5-native (~6 months). Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2008 1:13 am**

This is a Google contest. If you want to ask this question in the Joomla! 101 Forums, that could work. But, this is not an appropriate place. These pre-university students are not Joomla! v 1.0.x developers, anyway.

Thanks for understanding!

I am looking for a working plugin for footnote creation within j 1.5 and have used the plugin available at http://www.brandspankingnew.net/archive ... cript.html which I think may be the one discussed in this thread.

My usage of the plugin can be seen at http://www.strangelove.com/strangewritings.

The plugin does not appear to handle the table fo contents (returns to a blank page) and when the "article index" is clicked upon, the resulting page shows the footnotes WITHIN the page, not at the bottom.

Is an updated version of this plugin available?

Is there a working FOOTNOTE creation plugin available for Joomla!

thank you,

Dr. Strangelove

Nice looking site! Very appealing for students.

Never really thought about table of contents with this plugin. The most current release appears to be from January and is available on JoomlaCode.

I'm not certain what it would take to make it work for table of contents, but it could be a bit tricky. It really wasn't intended to be used that way. It's just not a feature. Whether the developer will choose to add additional features is truly up to him. Of course, it's GPL, so anyone can hack the code for their own needs, too. If you do so, you might consider sharing the improvements with the developer.

Please use the tracker for this extension for any additional questions you might have. The tracker has a place to add feature requests, too. This is a forum for the GHOP contest and not a place for support questions.

Hope that helps,
Amy
