XF 2.3 How to decipher add-on developer...

[beerForo]

...when not listed. I'm not sure which add-on this is. It has no link to support, developer, etc.

I'd suggest looking into the actual files for the addon. Create a copy from the server on your local desktop and browse them through vs code or notepade++

Start with checking addon.json it might have been a miss type or something but that is where the information shown on there is kept.

{
    "legacy_addon_id": "",
    "title": "Addon Name",
    "description": "The text under the name",
    "version_id": 1000010,
    "version_string": "1.0.0 Alpha",
    "dev": "Dev name",
    "dev_url": "A link for the dev name",
    "faq_url": "",
    "support_url": "",
    "extra_urls": [],
    "require": [],
    "icon": "font awesome icon"
}

I haven't used all these settings yet but these are some basic ones I know the function of.
I suggest checking the other files as well because some devs leave licenses at the top of their files, with their name or handle.

Is this the resource?

No I don't think it is that one.

{
    "legacy_addon_id": "",
    "title": "OpenGraph Image",
    "description": "",

This is it, it's unmaintained.

I know because I downloaded it and it has the exact same addon.json

{
    "legacy_addon_id": "",
    "title": "OpenGraph Image",
    "description": "",
    "version_id": 1000070,
    "version_string": "1.0.0",
    "dev": "",
    "dev_url": "",
    "faq_url": "",
    "support_url": "",
    "extra_urls": [],
    "require": [],
    "icon": ""
}

 

[beerForo]

Cool, thanks. I suppose being unmaintained, XF doesn't care if the developer is listed in acp?

 

[beerForo]

Looks like because the member was deleted.

Xenforo doesn't control addon information. That is entirely up to the developer to do.
I don't think they edited it either, I assume the dev just removed it themseleves or never added it.

 

[beerForo]

It just looks weird to have a ghost add-on. I assume the deleted profile is the culprit (or perhaps a lack of professionalism from the developer). Thanks

 

[beerForo]

Thanks for the detective work!

 

[QuackieMackie]

Thanks for the detective work!

All good, I enjoyed it.

What's confusing is it seems to be listed by @Painbaker now but the Discussion tab still goes to the deleted member, for both add-ons. I guess they are different. I posted in the @Painbaker one.

Old Nick submitted a new resource:

Open Graph Image - Open Graph image for social media

When creating a new post on social media, the Open Graph Image add-on will use the first uploaded attachment in your thread as the Open Graph image.

Fungi - Champignon parasite : Fomitopsis pinicola ou Phellinus robiniae ?

Il pousse sur le tronc d'un acacia. Il profite de l'arbre mais est-ce que l'arbre en profite aussi d'une façon ou d'une autre ou bien je dois le considérer comme un champignon parasite ?

Thread 'Auto OpenGraph for threads'

Nov 21, 2022

Nicolas FR submitted a new resource:

Auto OpenGraph for threads - Automatically sets the OpenGraph image with the first image or attachment in the thread.

A simple add-on that allows to set the Open Graph image of a thread using the first image (embedded or attached) of the first thread post. Useful for sharing threads on social networks (Twitter, Facebook, etc...).

This add-on uses @JoyFreak's "[JoyFreak] Set Open Graph Image" resource template modification. Thanks to him for his permission.
