Plugins :: Blog :: Folio Plug-in

Thanks to feedback and advice from a number of different people, I've started work on the next version of the folio plug-in.  After emailing back & forth with Stan a couple of times, I changed the main sidebar.  Local administrators can now very easily choose if they want to use the default sidebar or mine.  If they don't want to use the sidebar as a 'collasped' entry, then they just leave the default settings on and it only shows the wiki.  I also changed it to only display if we're looking at another user's page.  Lastly, it expands the wiki entry, making it a much more dynamic & interesting entry.  The name of the root homepage is now shown instead of the generic 'wiki page' tag.  If the use doesn't have a homepage, then nothing is shown.  very clean...

I'm fixing a bunch of bugs & things at the moment, ranging from user icon troubles to linking page titles.  I got carried away with the GUI enhancements this weekend, but will be working on the debugging stuff soon as well.   

In playing with the latest svn, I had some problems with the files list.  For some reason, Elgg was dumping the datalist retrieved to the messages prompt.  Who knows why, but not my plug-in's fault (I checked :-).    Anyway, as soon as the official v.8 is released I'll get a fully-verified version of the plug-in out. 

It's been a little while since I was last coding.  I have to say that I forgot how much I enjoy it.  It's just very pleasurable to get this stuff working right.  I wish I had more time available, there are so many things I'd love to be able to code into Elgg.  Oh well....
