• [x] section_permlink_mode
• [x] upload_plugin - see https://github.com/textpattern/pophelp/issues/49#issuecomment-559560540
• [x] timestamp_link - see https://github.com/textpattern/pophelp/issues/49#issuecomment-578039282

Prefs -> Publish

• [x] override_form_types - https://github.com/textpattern/textpattern/issues/1553#issuecomment-736899723

Content -> Write

• [x] `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:

[philwareham]

@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.

timestamp_link

[petecooper]

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

shortcodes

[Bloke]

Shortcodes is a custom media type (thus its name is defined in advanced prefs) Do we need to define it anyway, since it's a core term?

Ah yes, duh. My bad.
