Suggestion: list compatibility for JoomFish

[tstn]

Similar to listing if the extension is a component/module/bot would it possible to list if the extension is compatible with JoomFish.

Since multilingual is really important for a couple of the sites I manage I want to know if an extension is JoomFish Ready.

I am sure there are lot's of others out there that will agree with me.

I think the extension is a great addition to the Joomla! site. Great usability, easy to niavigate.

We cannot promise to implement all the suggestions made, but we will listen and follow the discussions.

I think that it should there could be a field like license. It wouldn't work like "Translatable: Yes/No" but something with some drop-down options such as "Included Language File", "Uses Core Languages", "Joom!Fish compatible" or "Other".

This is a quick idea off the top of my head. Other ideas?

One of the two main differences between 1.0 and 1.1 from a developer's perspective is languages - the old defined language files are gone. It is my understanding that extensions will be able to install their own language files in 1.1. This enhancement in the new version might cloud this issue a bit and might need to be taken into account here.

Dropdown in itself will not be good enough, a 3PD CMT/plugin can be translatable, and either (not) be Joomfish compatible or not. There are multiple options possible. Will have to think about this more.

Tonie,
starting from version 1.7 if it is translatable (no hardcoded texts) it will be JFish compatible
