ditto. i’m don’t think this would make me go back to 4.0.6, but i’m wondering if other plugins are not working with .7 as well?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_admin_show_adv_opts

As masa has already noted, I don’t think wilshire plugins are supported anymore (by the developer), which is probably the issue here (Ed. Doh! I’m using it).

Wet has since indicated this function of expanding (or not) interface tool lists will be a core feature in the next (or thereabouts) release.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_admin_show_adv_opts

I think it’s not an issue of downgrading. In my case, the plugin didn’t work in 4.0.6, but does in 4.0.7.

A mystery? Yes. :-)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_admin_show_adv_opts

Essential? Mmmm, certainly in their day for many folks, but arguably not anymore (I only ever used this one), not with the tag abilities these days and the newer plugins since wilshire’s time. Exception maybe being the Admin DB manager. I suppose wilshire’s plugins hang in there because they’re used ubiquitously from yesteryear, and other developers keep then afloat with patches and whatnot. It would be nice to see wilshire come around again, though you can’t rely on that.

unlimited categories seems to be on many people’s checklist, no?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_admin_show_adv_opts

If they think they need it, sure, but that’s a different discussion altogether. How many categories does an article really need to belong to anyway? Keywords I can understand, but categories? Two has always been enough for my focused articles.

At any rate, I had said that people keep the plugins afloat with patches if need be (and wilshire’s plugins are ubiquitous), so there’s nothing you should be concerned about if you don’t mind patching things.

i thought two was enough categories until i started doing other things with txp. like if i post a podcast episode and i want it to show up on my blog, but also on a flash player on the homepage, and also on a separate itunes feed, i need to be able to check off different categories for the content to end up in different places. you’re right though, it’s another discussion altogether. i just couldn’t have expected this developer to stop his work of all people. maybe users were pissing him off?

I don’t think Rob had any problems with users, I think it is more a case of “life moves on” and he doesn’t have the available time any more.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_admin_show_adv_opts

Is ist possible, that the plugin has a problem with txp 4.2.0
because it’s automatically expand article advanced options only when i click twice at the whrite tab.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_admin_show_adv_opts

In 4.2.0 the various toggle states are remembered, so you don’t need the plugin anymore :) That’s probably also the reason why you need to click twice now.
