Thanks a lot,
Alex

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

update.mozilla.org seems to have lost all the recentrly added extensions 
including FoxyTunes and FirefoxView after the update and the downtime today.

They simply do not appear anywhere.

Direct links show corrupted and partial information.

Comment 5

[Wolf [:wolf]]

The record for this extension was lost during last night's upgrade. It needs to
be readded.

Comment 6

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Ok, here's a clean new request:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author Name:   Alex Sirota

Similar break in the desctription exists for the ChatZilla extension:
      http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=16&vid=510&category=

Also, it seems that the ratings/comments were not lost (I'm looking at the old
direct link) - any chance of recovering that?

Thanks a lot,
Alex

Comment 7

[Wolf [:wolf]]

Fixed, again. :-) Give it time for mirroring (if needed).

Comment 8

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Please update FoxyTunes record at UMO as compatible with 1.0 Preview Release (0.10).

Submitted a request at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255804 a few
days ago, but the record wasn't updated.

Thanks,
Alex

Comment 9

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

It's been a long while since I've requested the maxVersion to be bumped to 0.10,
and nothing has happened since. 

The extension is virtually invisible on UMO because the default filter is set on
0.10.

If I am doing something wrong here, would someone please drop me a line saying
what's the problem?

Thanks,
Alex

Comment 10

[Jed B]

Sorry about that alex.
I am unable to do so, as I don't know how to do it via the admin panel.
I'm re-assigning to Wolf.

(btw: I'm having the same problem with bbcode 0.3 and WebmailCompose 0.5.5)

Comment 11

[Wolf [:wolf]]

255804 has been processed (a couple of days ago), so I'm pretty sure this bug is
fixed. (Didn't catch it was reopened for a 0.10 update here as well. oops)

Comment 12

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Please update this extension at UMO.

Version:       0.61
URL to XPI:    http://www.foxytunes.org/firefox/FoxyTunes_0.61.xpi

I'll take this back, free up wolf for other things.

I'm assuming the Thunderbird support is correct?
(it's in your target apps TB 0.7 - 0.8)

This is correct.

Jed - how long does the mirroring take?
I don't know whether there is a problem or I shold just wait patiently :)

Comment 16

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

I beleive that this is a temporary problem, but the install link at UMO says:

Object not found! (404 error).

or The requested URL /pub/mozilla.org/extensions/foxytunes/FoxyTunes_0.61.xpi
was not found on this server.

Comment 17

[alanjstr]

The queue has been approved.  If you get a 404 error, please comment on bug 259282.

Comment 18

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Please update this extension at UMO.

Version:       0.69
URL to XPI:    http://www.foxytunes.org/firefox/FoxyTunes_0.69.xpi

Also, please update the description:
****************************************************************
Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web?
<BR>
Now you can control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser
and more...
<BR>
<BR>
Supports WinAmp, iTunes, foobar2000, Windows Media Player, Musicmatch,

and many other players. 
****************************************************************

Please insert the specified breaks in the description, it's important.
Also, this version supports MacOSX so the words "[Windows/Linux]" are no longer
needed.

Also, please note that this version now also supports Mozilla 1.6-1.7, besides
Firefox and Thunderbird.

Thanks,
Alex

Comment 19

[Jed B]

In Queue.
I could only add the double <br><br> as the current (limited) system only always
for on break to occur.
If you really need two, please reassign this bug to wolf
([e-mail]) so that he can make the change at the DB level.

Comment 20

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Thanks :)

A couple of additional requests:
1. The Mozilla compatibility says 1.4-1.7 at UMO. This should be 1.6-1.7
2. The -Author- Home Page says http://www.foxytunes.org/firefox/
   Please change this to http://www.iosart.com/firefox/

   Please note that the -Extension- Home Page is fine.

Thanks a lot,
Alex

Comment 21

[Wolf [:wolf]]

Fixed, Fixed, Fixed. :-)

Comment 22

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Thanks a lot Wolf!

I hope I'm not bugging too much, but there are now 3 breaks (<br>) before the
"Supports WinAmp, ...." part (instead of 2), and it looks kinda funny ;)

I know, I'm a bit crazy/perfectionist that way :)

Could you please remove the one extra break, so there are only two left?
Only if you have the time and it's not too difficult.

Again, sorry and thanks! :)
Alex

Comment 23

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Thanks a lot for all your help guys :)

Please let me know if I'm out of line here...

There are 3 -consecutive- -identical- comments on FoxyTunes:
----------
Won't work! (0 stars)
can not get it to work with I-Tunes. I installed the extension and selected the
player, I-Tunes, and it didn't do jack-!@#$%! Any suggestions?
Posted on 2004-11-01 16:45:57 by Hanada 
----------

The fact that his problem can be easily solved is besides the point, and I do
believe that we must have human moderation (among other things) on UMO (bug
247144). I would agree that one of the three identical comments somehow has it
place over there. But not all three!

I'm working pretty hard on this thig (as I'm sure we all are), and seeing such
things is very frustrating.

Can you please remove the triple postings by Hanada (leaving only the last one
to be fair).

Again please let me know if this is out of line :)

Thanks,
Alex

Comment 24

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Please update this extension at UMO.

Version:       1.0
URL to XPI:    http://www.foxytunes.org/firefox/FoxyTunes_1.0.xpi
New in 1.0:    http://www.foxytunes.org/firefox/allversions.html
               Please note that skins is an external feature and is not really a
part of the extension.

Please update the Mozilla compatibility to 1.6-1.8.
Also, please note that the description shouldn't be changed.

Thanks a lot,
Alex

Comment 25

[Jed B]

In Queue.
Let me know if you need the desc changed, etc.
About the comments, I can't help there, you should assign this bug over to wolf
if you want that done, as one would need DB access for that.

Comment 26

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

The description got messed up somehow...
Should be:
****************************************************************
Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web?
<BR>
Now you can control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser
and more...
<BR>
<BR>
Supports WinAmp, iTunes, foobar2000, Windows Media Player, Musicmatch,
Quintessential, J. River, jetAudio, MediaMonkey, Media Player Classic, Sonique,
wxMusik, Real Player, XMMS, Noatun, Juk, Amarok, Music Player Daemon, Rhythmbox
and many other players. 
****************************************************************

It was fine with all the breaks and all :)
Please restore it to the above description.

Thanks,
Alex

Comment 27

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Please see my last comment about the wrong description.
I will appreciate the double breaks as they appear in my comment.

Thanks a lot :)
Alex

Comment 28

[Wolf [:wolf]]

It appears that the description's breaks get clobbered when it's updated. HTML
is, in general, disallowed in descriptions. So if it happens again, you might be
stuck with it. :-)

Comment 29

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Now it says:
-----------------
Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web?
Now you can control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser
and more...

Now you can control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser
and more... 
-----------------

Very bad!!! :)

Comment 30

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Hi,
First, thanks a lot for all your help!
I can't wait for the Developer Control Panel, so I won't have to bother you with
these things ;)

The description is still wrong. The double "Now you can control your
favorite..." is gone, but there is no supported players list. 

Please make the description:
****************************************************************
Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web?
<BR>
Now you can control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser
and more...
<BR>
<BR>
Supports WinAmp, iTunes, foobar2000, Windows Media Player, Musicmatch,
Quintessential, J. River, jetAudio, MediaMonkey, Media Player Classic, Sonique,
wxMusik, Real Player, XMMS, Noatun, Juk, Amarok, Music Player Daemon, Rhythmbox
and many other players. 
****************************************************************

Thanks again,
Alex 

Comment 31

[Giorgio Maone [:ma1]]

Does anybody know why FoxyTunes is displayed three times on the UMO extensions
front page (3rd, 4th and 5th top rated extension)? :-)

Comment 32

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Hi,

It looks like the non-standard description is causing some problems, so I guess
it will be better to give it up.
Can you please update to the description below (I believe the DB allows one
break between the two parts) :

****************************************************************
Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web?
Now you can control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser
and more...
<BR>
Supports WinAmp, iTunes, foobar2000, Windows Media Player, Musicmatch,
Quintessential, J. River, jetAudio, MediaMonkey, Media Player Classic, Sonique,
wxMusik, Real Player, XMMS, Noatun, Juk, Amarok, Music Player Daemon, Rhythmbox
and many other players. 
****************************************************************

Thanks,
Alex

Comment 33

[Jed B]

Done :)

@Giorgio Maone:
Probably because each entry is a different version. This extension gets updated
pretty often )

Comment 34

[Michael Hendy (Hendikins)]

Bulk Moving Extension/Theme listing bugs to new component.
(Filter: masslistingspam)

Comment 35

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Hi,

Please update the FoxyTunes entry as compatible with Thunderbird 1.0 and Mozilla
Suite 1.8.

I've already updated my update script.

Thanks,
Alex

Comment 36

[alanjstr]

Reassigning to Wolf to manually edit the DB.

Comment 37

[alanjstr]

The good news is that this no longer requires a manual DB edit.

Comment 38

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

Thanks for adding the 1.1 version :)

The description got partially erased (the *version*/second part?), it should be:
****************************************************************
Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web?
Now you can control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser
and more...
<BR>
Supports WinAmp, iTunes, foobar2000, Windows Media Player, Musicmatch,
Quintessential, J. River, jetAudio, XMPlay, MediaMonkey, Media Player Classic,
Sonique, wxMusik, Real Player, XMMS, Noatun, Juk, Amarok, Music Player Daemon,
Rhythmbox and many other players.
****************************************************************
I believe that without this desciption many users won't understand what
FoxyTunes does, and thus it is very important.

Thanks in advance :)

Comment 39

[alanjstr]

I think the picture helps.

The good news is that it has the line break in
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&numpg=50&pageid=2

The bad news is that it keeps eating the html tag, so
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=Windows&numpg=50&id=219
doesn't have the break and there's nothing I can do about it.
