Repository add-on problems

Newly added add-ons in repository have a couple problems:

- Author is marked as (anonymous) so anyone can change the content of these add-on. This seems like a possible security threat.
- There is no automatically created support threads for these add-ons. "Visit Support Thread in forums" image link is missing too.

For example these add-ons are affected by this:

- QuickManager+: http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=532
- UsersToHtpasswd: http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=529
- autoGallery: http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=535

QuickManager+ and UsersToHtpasswd are added by me and autoGallery is added by Ramsay Taylor.

It seems all packages ID number greater than 518 are affected by this and they are missing at least support threads.

Thanks for the attention.

Most of these bugs were fixed yesterday.

We will be addressing this soon. The new Extras section was rebuilt from scratch from the old site, and SMF integration has not yet been finished.

- QuickManager+: http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=532
- UsersToHtpasswd: http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=529
- autoGallery: http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=535

If you could provide your JIRA username (as well as Ramsay’s), I can fix those packages for you.

Thanks.

My JIRA username is: lammikko

Unfortunately I don’t know Ramsay’s username. I don’t have any contact with him, just noticed that the add-on submitted by him had the same problems.

Thank you very much in advance!

I have just signed up. My user name is "ramsay" (the advantages of a rare name...).

I let Martyn submit the code for me, so I blame him for the awful formatting of the description


Ramsay

They should now be fixed.

Apologies for the inconveniences. Still working out the kinks.
