Feature Suggestions/Tweaks

[yabba dabba]

Thanks for all you are doing!!

Some minor tweaks that I think would be useful:

1 - "All Categories" display
I think it would be better if "all" sub-categories were displayed on this "page". Seems the sub-category list is cut-off after 9 items? The cut-off doesn't really save real estate or time.

2 - Extension descriptions
Not having added an extension, I'm not sure about this, but it seems many text blocks are having a problem with formatting. I've seen several descriptions that were long run-ons that had had some formatting in the past that was now being ignored (e.g., bullet lists, para breaks). Not sure what you can do about this or if this is the result of importing descriptions from elsewhere.

3 - Search Results
It would be useful if the results display of individual extensions also included a link to the "category > sub-category" where each extension resides. I fully appreciate that I can eventually discover the heirarchy, but by displaying it on the results page, I can quickly scan the results to see if one or two categories match up well with my needs. Otherwise I'm left with going in and out of extension descriptions and building such a weighted list in my head.

Keep up the good work,

Hi yabba dabba,

Thanks for your suggestions. We evaluate all incoming ideas and suggestions, and some might even be implemented 

1. Good point. Only a few are not shown now from some of the larger main categories.

2. Agree. We have some cluttered descriptions because of transferred markup. If you find any obvious ones, feel free to report that directly from that extension, and we will try to correct it.

3. I think you have this already. The category is shown on top, and the left side menu show the precise location in the directory.

Thanks for your feedback.

As I noted in my OP, I know I can eventually find this by going to each extension's "page" in the directory.

But it would be MUCH more useful if it was displayed on the results page so that I can scan the cats:subcats quickly to see if one or two match up well with my needs. Otherwise I'm left with going in and out of extension descriptions and building such a weighted list in my head.

Peace,
