Pophelps to be added / checked

This post should be checkboxes to track work done and outstanding, screenshots and notes go in replies. Please update this post with new pophelps to add or update.

Sections -> Article URL pattern

• section_permlink_mode
• upload_plugin - see Pophelps to be added / checked #49 (comment)
• timestamp_link - see Pophelps to be added / checked #49 (comment)

Prefs -> Publish

• override_form_types - Make override forms more useful textpattern#1553 (comment)

Content -> Write

• `Override form' - Anything better than this scary text? 'Use form' as suggested by Pete might be nicer. And the corresponding pophelp is largely meaningless. Needs rewriting.

Oops, thanks, section_permlink_mode should be just permlink_mode, fixed.

upload_plugin:

@bloatware @Bloke could you kindly provide me with some info on how the new plugin upload functionality works? So I can write a pophelp for it. i.e. does it upload PHP files, or compiled plugins - that sort of thing. Cheers!

[bloatware]

@philwareham one can upload either PHP file (preferably with plugin help/metadata included) or a zipped archive as outlined here.

[philwareham]

@bloatware OK thanks - are these plugins stored (and run) in the database or in the 'plugins' directory?

[bloatware]

@philwareham currently they are both disk and db-stored for legacy reasons. They are registered and enabled/disabled via db, but loaded only from disk. Few versions later we could drop db code storage and use txp_plugins table only for registry.

[philwareham]

OK, thanks. Done and closing.

I can't reopen this for some reason - anyone?
