Sandbox

I notice that several of my components on the extensions sites have had their votes reduced to zero again and some have had positive reviews removed!?!

Why is this?

Hi Phil,

The voting system changed a bit so votes wont be displayed until the extension has recieved 5 votes. This is a measure to present a fair rating with enough votes.

ah ok - it would be nice if that was explained somewhere :-)

OK, but how about the listing is showing 4 reviews and when you open the extension there are only two?

http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... /cat_id,0/

http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/



This just doesn't make sense

Thanks for reporting this, Ivo. It was a mtree's bug in counting reviews for listings with cross-categories. I have fixed this.

Thanks Lee,

another question. What are the terms on extension to be HOT?

I have one with over 1000 hits, and it is not hot. And I see hot extensions with 200 hits.

Thanks

To be "Hot", your extension need to have on average at least 90 hits per day. So this is calculate by total hits divided by number of days listed in the extension directory. This way, the early lister will not get an added advantage.

We might see new extensions getting "Hot" because they're getting more exposure from "New Extensions" page on the first day they're listed.

Aha, clear now
