So guys, this is it. I think I completed the first of all components for Joomla 1.5. I went down the "least effort" route, so the thing just works (or should). Hence, you also need to have the Legacy plugin enabled. I tested it on Joomla 1.5.10 and it seemed fairly stable. So, now I need YOU! And how do you know if you are YOU? I need testers, preferrably a maximum of five people which are...: - Very competent with Joomla 1.5 (preferrably, know more than I do ;-)
- Know some PHP
- Know how to setup PayPal Sandbox accounts
- Can set up a Joomla 1.5 testsite somewhere out on the internet (otherwise, PayPal IPN won't work)
- Somehow familiar with myLANsite (I know my documentation is practically non-existent)
.. and are willing to ... - Install com_mls_events on a Joomla 1.5 site
- Check through ALL the options in the FRONTEND and BACKEND and report any errors you encounter to me
- At least one of the testers should try PayPal IPN. I just haven't got the time right now to test this myself
- Set up some non-privileged normal users and go through the whole subscription process (again, at least somebody should try the PayPal IPN connection through the com_mls_events "Packages" feature)
- Report potential bugs directly back to me or, preferrably, to the myLANsite bugtracker (http://www.mylansite.org/Bugs/)
So, how do you get your hands on this new beta package? Send me an email stating: - Roughly which parts you are willing to test (especially if you can test PayPal IPN)
- When your next event is scheduled
- How many people will attend this event
- Whereabouts you are from (just so I get an idea of the timezone differences)
- Possibly MSN/Skype/ICQ/AIM contact details. If you got a lot of cool input, I'd like to chat to you on Skype. Also an opportunity for you to get ideas in (though I reserve the right to just blatantly ignore them all :D )
Oh! I nearly forgot to say: It is very important for me to also get detailed feedback about the way I am doing things with this component. By that I mean: I just hacked this so I will work on J!1.5. If you happen to have experience with writing components for 1.5 and spot a few things which I am really doing the wrong way, please let me know. I am holding off with converting the other components until I am confident that I am doing things right here.
