Been kicking around an idea for a portable, down loadable resource directory for a bit, thought I would toss it up for comments.
The general idea works like a chain letter, whether this migrates freestyle or as part of a more structured forum thread or topic is part of the question – perhaps both. The version 1 directory that I have for download as part of this post contains a directory called “resources” , at present, it contains a directory called “ras” – my development prefix. Inside this directory is a directory called “author_list” which contains my ras_author_list Ver 4.2.0 and some support and code example files. Inside my own directory (ras) I set things up as I wish. To add to the resource directory itself each plugin author (or tutorial author – whatever) would create a directory using their development prefix (if you don’t currently have a prefix I would recommend creating and registering one – the details can be found on Textbook for how to do that) and place within that directory what they wish.
The sticky part comes with structuring version numbers as the download zip file version is bumped for each addition.
A lot of choices to pick from there, from formal forum threads to google-code projects. Just free styling it would get ugly quick I think.

Thoughts?

To any and all concerned, I have a friend pedaling a bicycle 80 miles for a very good cause. Thank yourself for the good things in your life and participate.

It would be fun to Catch a Blaze Here

Adds a name attribute to ras_if_category_type, which only makes sense.

forum topic

An interesting idea suggested here forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=28935

The plugin includes a file download list tag, and a conditional which matches a file id by attribute. I see no reason not to add 2 lines of code to the core for this capability?

This plugin returns a list, much like section_list and category_list, that links user names as an author search link. List can be section sensitive or set to a specific section, also the lists can be segregated by user privilege type as specified inside TXP.
This plugin is intended for use with TXP Ver. 4.0.6
