Why not make a separate 1.5 exstenson search system i Exstenisons?

[salscito]

Joomla is damn nice.

Every day comes new Exstensions to the joomla site. Now the new big thing is Joomla 1.5. The furture for Joomla.

But can I search specific for the 1.5 exstensions?  No way. You need to browse or perform a search using the term "1.5".

There is no rational way to limit you Joomla interest to the 1.5.

Can we do anythin about that?

[Koolaid]

I support that

[linxdude]

I believe this can be done with the "Advanced Search" option    You can limit your search in numerous ways with it.

[salscito]

Stop beliving...  Try it out first. 

The advanced search feature is just not working as in logical.

I feel like I am the only one interested particullary in 1.5 exstensions.

Whats the idea behind hiding the exstensions from potencial users?

The advanced search is useless to mee.

Just gives you [Mod edit] back when used in search for 1.5 Ext

All mixed up with 1.0xx ext.

This is a great failure for promoting 1.5

I'm not aware of any conspiracy to hide extensions from you.  Clearly I don't understand what your issue is.  But in case other people are using this thread, I will say this....

All i know is that if I go to the Advanced Search, and don't fill out anything in the search, and only check the 1.5 box, that it returns a list of 1.5 compatible extensions (technically it should be every one that is in the joomla extensions database).  I checked each one on the first page that was returned and they all said they were 1.5 compatible.    Granted I didn't check past the first page of search results, but it sure seems to me like it is possible to get a list of 1.5 extensions from the advanced search function.

Now if the owners say the are 1.5 compatible and they are not, that's a different story.  And if you don't like how your searches are further refined, that's another story too.

Even if so and so...  This is not intuitive...  eliminating guessing, you know...

A Car manufacturer that got one model for sale, dont hide the spare part search options under advanced search for the second modell they release.

Its just not logical.

Thats what you promote the most. To get it up and going.

Not make it difficult for people to keep up.

This joomla.org should been a state for the art server, but it is a pretty cheap mess to look at.

ITs somehow very strange that its not any promoting and intuitive search interface for 1.5.

For me the best would be to totally separate the two versions as in ext1.0xx and ext1.5

So its not such a mess to browse, search or looking at

Nobody is forcing you to use joomla.  Honestly, I would rather have the developers working on improving joomla (like they are doing) rather than worrying about revising a search function because somebody is not willing to click a radio button.

You can always contribute your time an expertise to making joomla extension search page do exactly what you want. I'm sure, if you can do it, that the developers would entertain the idea.  Or you could just click the correct search parameter and get on with it.

BTW, just because you are looking for 1.5 specific extensions, doesn't mean everybody is.  1.5 isn't even fully stable yet.......

What the heck... Is it wrong to make suggestions to make the 1.5 version more easy to handle when it comes to Extstensions?

Nobody is forcing me to use Joomla this dude says... What about telling something we all dont know??? 

So nice to explain me that there are others that uses the jomla 1.0XX. Thanks. I missed all out on that.

I just started with Joomla today and needed JUST that kind of guidence;-)

No, I provided you with a kind explanation of the proper way to solve your problem.  I understand that it is, in your mind, a workaround.  The thread should have stopped there, but it didnt'.  It's not the fact that you made suggestions, it's the tone that I (and probably others who were reading this) perceived from when you made them. 

As an example, you said "This joomla.org should been a state for the art server, but it is a pretty cheap mess to look at."  Probably not the way you want to approach things if you just started using joomla yesterday and you are going to be looking for help on the forums (which are also free and completely volunteer).

Ive been using Joomla for several years. I am just being ironic with you, making so much fuzz about why once shuold not just add a button ore somthing to the normal search interface from the main exstension page.

Thats not anything less than a good tip.

But your "workaround" is just imaginary logical. Its not intuitive.

This reminds me of whats called "not invented here" syndrome. When people gets stuburn as a donkey just becuase their view of something is different.

I am asking if its possible to make this easy, make it more available and so forth... Then comes this dude and just talks bla bla bla in a tippical "i know best ironic style".

Also representing everyon one Joomla etc. [Mod edit LorenzoG]

I dont give a [Mod edit] if this thred is good or bad anymore. This is a principle.

If any dude can just come here and claim that his way is the best way for everybody, then I guess its all over for democracy and innovation...

Bring up an idea and get [Mod edit] by your own...

What  a day

[salscito]

Its unbelivable to me that I really spend time arguing to make a more intuitive interface towards bringing out 1.5 to the masses.

I will not respond to this thread any more.. Its just to stupid. This dude even knows when the thread shuold ended. After his first post:-)
