Xon submitted a new resource:

Standard Library by Xon - A number of helper utilities designed to ease add-on development

A number of helper utilities designed to ease add-on development, does not have any direct user-facing changes.

Uploaded to the resource manager to aid dependency tracking and allow updating without updating every individual add-on

Nice, I was using this library for one of my add-ons. Sometimes it could give file check warnings if another add-on was installed with a new version of this library.
Hopefully by using this add-on as a requirement, we don't have that problem any more. Thanks!

 

[Xon]

I'm open to pull requests for additional helper bits. I've got some very small plans for stuff which integrates into XF but my goal is to have something which isn't active unless directly called.

 

[Wildcat Media]

Do we need to download this if we use any of your add-ons? I have a handful of the free add-ons and two or three of the paid.

 

[Xon]

Yes. the plan is that any add-on which makes database schema changes or complex SQL changes will depend on this add-on.

A couple of my add-on's updating to support XF2.2 will require it so they can support XF2.1 and XF2.2 at the same time

I have uploaded like normal, but there is no new addon to install.
But i cant update Warning Improvements now.

 

[TickTackk]

Double-check that the files has been uploaded to correct location.

 

[Robert9]

Yes, i did.

 

[TickTackk]

If the files are uploaded in the correct location you should be seeing something similar to this:

 

[Robert9]

Maybe this is the problem. I have downloaded here 1.0.0 one hour ago!

 

[TickTackk]

Nope, I'm using the next work-in-progress version of the add-on.

 

[Robert9]

I got it. The addon was installed before. But i cant update with that version;
thats why i thought it is not installed.

Warning Improvements requires Standard Library by Xon v1.0.0+

What is the benefit to moving to this standard library?

 

[Xon]

For the end user, very little.

For me? Hopefully less support tickets complaining about checksum errors and not uploading all the files in the zip. It also gives me a sane way to version the contents of this add-on.

It also allows me to invite collaborators to work on shared code without it being a nightmare to redistribute.

I just updated several minutes ago to version 1.1.0 and it caused my site wide an error and 400+ pages of error logged.
Not sure if I will attempt to update again to 1.1.1 :-(

 

[Xon]

v1.1.1 fixes the bug, this bug is masked if you have some of my other add-on's installed so I didn't notice it in testing

Thankfully only a handful people grabbed the broken release. I've removed that version from XFRM to avoid anyone else grabbing it by mistake

 

[rdn]

So I'm not affected by this?

Additional 3rd party add-ons may have conflicts, and they will require updating or rolling back this add-on. This add-on is a drop-in replacement after updating the namespace being imported

 

[rdn]

Addon installed from you:

• Crowd Moderation 2.0.1
• Live Content 1.2.0
• Prefix Essentials 2.0.6 (maybe)

Think I will install the 1.0.0 for now.
