SUGGESTION: Update Notification system on Extensions site

Post by inspired333 » Wed Dec 05, 2007 8:31 am

Hi folks,
I trust this is the place to post this. Please let me know if it is not.
I wanted to suggest that the Extensions part of the Joomla site implement a favourites system. So that users can build up a personal list of extensions they want to keep an eye on (for instance, I would add to my favourites all the extensions I currently utilise).
An added feature might be to tag an extension (within ones favourites or not) as WATCHED. That way if the extension is updated the user will get an email telling them so.
  :-[

I would like to suggest an added feature for the Extensions system would be the ability to tag an extension as WATCHED (or something to that effect). The purpose being the the site will send the user an email when a WATCHED extension is updated.

I think this addition would make the Extensions system much more convenient to use.

With my regards,

Jonathan  ;)

NOTE: Orignaly post this also requesting a Favorites system. My mistake. Been a while since I was here at the site and forgot about the existing favorites system.  :P

Hi inspired333,

Try to login and visit User Menu ->My Page->Tab 'Favourites'.
At that view you can see any favorite of yours that you have added by simply clicking the (Add as Favourite) at the detail view of the individual listings.

Thanks buddy.
I realised this not long after I posted. Been three months since I worked with the extensions sytem and when I couldn't see a way to add a favourite I mistakenly thought the feature didn't exist. Then I looked at MY PAGE (thinking "hmm... what's this") I there I saw I had items in favourites from a long time ago... the rest is history.
But you were so quick to respond and assist that you bet me to it (my editing my post as above)

Cheers,
Jonathan
