Hello

I want to use the plugin system to add some new data. So I check how it works in the demo pluggin for the data "Stuff". But it seems it does not work properly because when I save a new value in the stuff property I can't retrieve it when I try to edit the link.

I look directly in the datastore.php file and I can't see any new value added in the file either.

I'm not sure I'm doing right. Is that functionality available already ? Is that a bug ?

For information, CONTRIBUTING.md indicates that the general discussion is in #44 (you should update to #308).

Already report https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/1646

I'm thinking about "detaching" this project from the original https://github.com/sebsauvage/Shaarli (remove the fork relationship), since currently shaarli/Shaarli cannot be found in Github search results (see for yourself: https://github.com/search?q=shaarli&type=repositories, the search does not show forks, only sebsauvage/Shaarli - which has not been updated since 2016 - is returned).

This can be done through https://support.github.com/contact?tags=rr-forks&subject=Detach%20Fork&flow=detach_fork without losing issues/PRs/stars and project-related data.

I already did it in the past for https://github.com/awesome-foss/awesome-sysadmin/ (detached from https://github.com/kahun/awesome-sysadmin), it took only a few minutes, and I'm not aware of any problems ever since.

If there are no objections to this, I will probably proceed in about ~a month.

As long as we keep credit to Sebsauvage for the original project somewhere in the README, it sounds like a good idea.

keep credit to Sebsauvage

Sure, he's forever in the commit log and AUTHORS file. The original repo is linked from https://shaarli.readthedocs.io/en/master/index.html#about, the original Shaarli instance https://sebsauvage.net/links/ is also at the top of https://shaarli.readthedocs.io/en/master/Community-and-related-software.html#community (30k shaares and still going :) )

I wanted to open a ticket for months about this strange behaviour from Github.

Hi all! I'm new to Shaarli and I don't get what those QR codes are for. What's the use case? @nodiscc

[nodiscc]

Hi @bttrx the QR codes are optional and you can disable them at /admin/plugins. This is what I do, as I don't have the use for them. They contain the URL of the corresponding shaare. I suppose they could be useful if you have shaarli opened on a desktop PC and want to quickly transfer a link to a phone.

They are mostly here for legacy reasons - the QR code feature used to be in Shaarli's "core"/single PHP file and was moved to a plugin - I just checked and they are already there on the OG Shaarli i.e. code from before 2014.

By the way, this fork is now 10 years old (first actual commit in July 2014) :birthday: Thanks to everyone involved
