FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR v2 PLUGIN CREATOR INFO THREAD
« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2007, 10:07 AM »
Okke,
these are great questions and points, just give me a day to get to them..

you've basically identified the crux of the problem, which is that on one hand the regex match blocks farr from stripping off and parsing the modifier options, and on the other hand if you don't use regex then all such modifiers and - arguments are stripped off.

one solution is to add a few options in aliases that let you tell farr what kinds of modifiers to strip off (-modifier and/or +modifiers), even before a regular expression match.

another solution might be in a non-regular expression match to let a plugin more easily examine the modifiers and tell farr which ones the plugin handled so farr doesn't have to.

good ideas, all.
i will make a note on the donate page that people who wish to remain anonymous should use amazon, and i'll add a line about the keys page in the email.

Hi Martin,

I can shed some light on this and offer some more info as well.

We don't receive any credit card information but paypal tells us your *paypal* registered name and email address.
Sometimes in fact this can cause some issues because quite a few people haven't used their paypal account in so long that their email address is no longer valid.

For people who truly want to be anonymous, the amazon.com alternate method of donating (see here) is completely anonymous, which makes things strange since I then need you to contact me to tell me you donated and the transaction id, etc so i can send you a license key and forum membership.

Now back to this comment:
Secondly, on a practical matter, the credit card or PayPal Account holder need not be the same as the joining/supporting member (people have partners, family, friends, employers, etc., who might pay on their behalf, for many legitimate reasons), and 'forcing' that name into the DC system seems inappropriate, especially without prior notice.

100% true and i completely agree.  When you donate the server mails you a license key made out to the name+email from your paypal, which is what you got.  But this is really just as a convenience to donators so they have a license key right away.

You can use the forum upgrade/activation code you get when you donate to upgrade any account on the forum to full supporter status -- it doesn't have to be in any way related to the paypal account, and you can give it to a friend as a gift, etc.  Then once the account is upgraded on the forum and recognized as a supporting member, that person can go to the license key page on the forum (https://www.donation...r.com/Keys/index.php) and a new key will be created specifically for that forum account (with the forum account name and email address).

There may also be cases where you may want a specific name/email on your license key about box and don't want it to say your forum information.  In this case, see item #4 in the original email you get when you donate, it says "4)Should you wish a different name for your license, just email us."  :)

ps.
due to popular request, there is also a way to get special license keys if you are a time traveler: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1413.0

« Last post by mouser on September 25, 2007, 03:53 PM »
you could use my clipboard help+spell program and create a text formatting preset that would strip those characters and paste the stripped version when triggered from the popup hotkey menu.  though it might be overkill for the simple function you are looking for if you don't need anything else.

this would really be a nice tray utility -- i'm going to give people another week to write this and then i'll write it myself if no one steps up.

As I see it the interface could be really simple: Imagine a tray-based utility where user can configure as many "items" to list as they way.  when you right-click you see the list of items with the date listed for each one.  Click an item to update it's date to current date+time.

looks really interesting.. there's also a demo video you can download, which is kind of cool.  looks like you are being invaded by super-http://tribbles.

this game was created by students as part of a class project, and they also made the game design documents available online.

I've heard this request before and on one hand i sort of understand it, but on the other hand, i mean SC has a tray menu which is basically the same thing except it doesn't occupy your screen real estate (which seems beneficial to me) and has more options.  Plus it reminds you of the keyboard shortcuts which i find quite useful.

Very interesting article that hits home with me as someone who enjoys PHP and is not all that fond of the Ruby syntax etc., but thinks that the focus on MVC stuff from Rails is a good idea..

I spent two years trying to make Rails do something it wasn’t meant to do, then realized my old abandoned language (PHP, in my case) would do just fine if approached with my new Rails-gained wisdom.

« Last post by mouser on September 23, 2007, 08:04 PM »
great  :up:

btw.
one of the things that has been fixed in the new key license code is it will immediately report when you put in a malformed license key and not save it.  this is much better than the old method which would always save what you paste, and then complain incessantly.

ps. in the long run:

there is no reason i shouldnt be able to eventually hook into locate's databases and use it to ALWAYS do a quick index-enabled search of files in conjunction with and simultaneously as a real disk search.

in other words there is no reason that core farr functionality shouldn't be able to eventually include searching locate databases as part of normal everyday search.

Is this right?  Thought as a Supporting Member, license would never need renewal.
exactly.

so either you put in a non-supporter license or something is wrong.  try the license key you are given from this page:
https://www.donation...r.com/Keys/index.php

and see if it shows your name and stuff in about box.

« Last post by mouser on September 23, 2007, 02:06 PM »
its very easy for Okke to let you tell farr to display as many results as locate finds, up to some maximum you configure in the plugin options -- i just need to tell him what command to issue, so this is not going to be a problem -- you wont even have to type +sall, you can just configure it in the plugin options.

i think +sall isnt working because the plugin uses a regular expression to trigger..
we may be able to configure a separate optional way to trigger the plugin so that +sall can work and farr can do the sorting/scoring of results.
