Notify on plugin update
By elgg_noob
The new plugin mod on community.elgg.org is better in many ways but lacking in others.
Particularly, since plugin devs can no longer create a new page for their updates, they no longer appear on the Newest Plugins listing. Perhaps Updated plugins could be introduced?
I don't see a way to subscribe to the plugin page, so that I get notified of changes?
There is no "good" way of finding out when a plugin is updated.... sure i could search the river, search the site, bookmark the plugin page and hit it periodically... but there must be a better way.
Any insight, suggestions?
How do you keep up with plugin updates in this new era of plugins mod?
TIA :-)

You must log in to post replies.@elgg_noob Good points! Some slickness required I think. It does not give a good impression for newcomers etc, because it makes elgg look crude and limited. It would be nice to see this site a showcase of what elgg is capable of.
@Makr Bridges ... et al
It seems the pages are more robust than the UX suggest.
by appending ?view=rss or &view=rss at the end of any plugin page, you get the feed and can subscribe and there by get updated when it's updated.
Here's my question now... which url to append it to? does it matter?
example first plugin listed in new plugin section as of right now is the Market Plugin. If i click on it I get this url
for this one I append &view=rss and it looks like this
Once I'm on the page, if I click the title, which in this case is Market Plugin... I get this url:
for this one I append ?view=rss so it looks like this:

It sure would be nice to have the Subscribe button up in the left hand corner like it is in discussions.
TIA for making the change :-)
