ForumPostAssistant / FPA

The Forum Post Assistant (FPA) script has been developed to assist Joomla!® forum posters to be able to post relevant system, instance, PHP and troubleshooting information directly in to a pre-formatted forum post. This will save a few hours of posting back and forth, asking for, and explaining how to acquire useful information in order for other forum users to help troubleshoot a problem.

FPA (SELF_DESTRUCT) "Expiry Notification" #75

Closed RussW closed 4 years ago

RussW commented 4 years ago

With the introduction of the _SELF_DESTRUCT_ feature, this raises the question of user confusion/surprise and additional forum questions about quite WTF happened...

In an effort to reduce this, the last commit offers an informational "Expiry Notification" under the menu navbar stating how many days are left before FPA expiry.

Yes, this works. Maybe make the spoons even smaller? "As a safety precaution, this copy of FPA will expire in x days, and will attempt to self-destruct if run later."

Disagree with suggested implementation. Therefore, will abstain from voting.

The proposed "Expiry Notification" has been moved to just under the Joomla & FPA checking output, with an enhanced message (as above).

However... due to the changes made for "localhost" development environments now not deleting the FPA, it is no-longer needed to be displayed on localhost environments.
