OK, got it. Now you’re setting readme equal to homepage, an acceptable workaround.

If you assume that the homepage is the git repo page, then it’s acceptable, as the README is always (?) shown on the front page. But if there is a dedicated project- or doc-page, then I’m doomed.

This is why I write “no solution” somewhere above. But IMHO you can let it be.

yeah I understand… but I think of this…

  • With Kanboard being in ‘maintenance mode’ only power users are really using it and developing plugins for it
  • There is not much activity in general for kanboard recently, also the new style and format of the docs are a big downgrade, hardly understandable in the dark grey tones. the old style was so much clearer, just lacking accurate information/examples.
  • I dont think many people will use my plugin anyway

BTW: For infos like “Last Updated” and similar I prefer real date information (2018-06-12) instead of “more than …” or similar. Sometimes I really need that precise informatin in the list, mostly probably it’s only whimsicality.

And thank you two to invest so much care here.

Date format: I prefer date info which can be found by page search

ok i will find a solution… the time ago is very useful for users in different timezones working with each other, where an exact date can cause confusion in time-sensitive work.

done…

Show relative date with exact date in tooltip

toggles to exact date when clicked and relative date in tooltip

Hello, does anyone use a custom URL for the plugins directory that I could test the plugin with?

Update…

  1. Hello everyone again
  2. Last updated date is now shown in all plugins in the directory. These dates will show in the new unreleased plugin.
  3. The plugins file has been sorted alphabetically
  4. The plugin submission readme file now has clear and better instructions for plugin developers
  5. New types of properties are now included in the file, which PluginManager will show so users can make better decisions before installing plugins.
