Then we just have to get people using it - and given the amount of XP users out there, that could take a while.

What browser has them built in as I have always only seen them as a add-on
Firefox, Chrome at least. I suspect the add-on you're referring to is the choice of dictionary since multiple dictionaries can be used...

You *can* do it that way but you really don't have to if you don't want to.

Like everything else, it's a case of to each their own.

Um, Yii isn't? It just throws out a sample project that you can build on top of... unless it drastically changed in the year since I last looked at it?

Sounds quite reasonable though for that size project, Yii would be pretty suitable as well, I think.

Is there a feature like this under consideration? I've not found anything about it through search.
No, there isn't. Maybe it might be a nice plugin, but the amount of space it'd take up in the DB is likely pretty huge (since we support IPv6 which makes addresses quite large)

Is there anything planned for blocking proxies of this nature?
That depends, how much do you want to exclude any and all mobile phones, and likely a lot of universities? There's nothing specific about hidemyass.com (other than a very large collection of disjointed IP addresses, which is very hard to pin down since it changes, for the obvious reason)

If you want to exclude mobile phones and most universities (and a fair number of companies), then yes, that can be done.

Features / Re: Birthday, calendar, plugin, core [VOTE NOW!]
« on October 12th, 2011, 02:12 AM »
I think everyone who was going to vote has done so by now, and it's pretty clear the direction that things are going in, so with that I'm going to begin work pretty shortly on migrating the birthday functionality to a plugin, and the calendar to a separate but integrative plugin.

You can't please everyone all of the time, but this way allows users to make what they want out of it a little more easily :)

(I've locked the poll but looking at the comments, it's actually 70% in favour of a dual plugin approach.)

@ The outstanding items are EmailTemplates, Help and index. These have special needs compared to normal items, which doesn't help much.

! Added probably-working support into the add-column code for ENUM/SET types. Not tested. Also cleaned up old parameters for the add/change/remove column functions because they're not needed for MySQL. (Class-DBPackages.php)
! Whoa, boy. Various bits of deduplication of code since we don't expressly have to call for children() when we only want one type of child node, plus factoring duplicate tests and code (some of which were actually ignored) into their own functions, and making sure that the DB cleanup stuff actually had access to the manifest file, meaning that DB changes are actually undone when the appropriate call is made. Oh, and hopefully added support for adding individual columns from the install (and appropriate cleanup), not yet tested having since found a bug elsewhere. (ManagePlugins.php)

@ The bug in question is that my snazzy code for pruning folders on uninstall chokes on nested subdirectories. Which for all the ones I'd tested thus far, it wasn't a problem because they only had their own files in their own little world. All the ones I have in Plugins/ now have an .svn tree attached, which chokes it. (As does WedgeDesk but I'd never tested that since I added the remove folders code)

Hmm, I don't know exactly what's wrong with it, I just know it's a bit fussy at times :P

Works for me, got me here just fine.

It's down to the page boundary crossover where it breaks. I did the code differently when I added that in Wedge.

Yeah, I think pagination is a little broken somehow.

You'd be surprised. I did get asked about it for Sortable Packages but refused because it didn't seem logical to me at the time.

If you have several mods by specific people, maybe. Like if you had a bunch of my plugins, a bunch of yours and a bunch of official ones, maybe.
