I read your PM and I will be removing the textarea extension functionality as soon as possible.
I did try to contact you several times, and thought your extension was abandoned when I didn’t hear back. I apologize that I went ahead and included it without your permission.
supersusie: Please, STOP immediately distributing v.1.6 of your extension! I thought, it will be happen after my yesterday’s post. Did you think, I will be wait on your next version or so??? It’s unbelievable, are we living on the same planet?
Yes, we are living on the same planet, and we should all be a little nicer to each other because of that.
I have a day job, and that means it might take me a day or two to update this extention, which I contribute to the community for free. I contacted you six months ago in this forum and by private email, and when I didn’t hear back after several versions of my extension, I assumed that your version 1.0 extension was abandoned. So I included your extension’s functionality in mine, and put this note in the README:
I do not claim copyright to the part of the code that makes the text areas expandable. That code came from the ext_textarea_resizer:

I made several attempts to contact Gabriel but never got a reply, and will gladly remove his portion of the code if he requests it. However, I thought it was an excellent fit and I hoped he wouldn’t object, given that we both distribute our code for free.
I totally admit that you have every right to expect me to remove your code, and to stop distributing it as soon as is reasonable. But you don’t have to be rude about it. If you look back in this thread, you’ll actually see a comparable situation: another developer took my code and modified it (to fix an incompatibility), and I asked him, privately and politely, to remove his version, and he did, and we’re all still on speaking terms.
So, once again, I’m sorry, and I’ve now modified and reposted my extension as version 1.7, and I hope we can move past this.
supersusie: please, enough!
Do not distribute version 1.6 with Texarea resizer in the version 1.7!
I’m appreciate your work for EE comunity and your activity, but now I’m disappointed more and more.
Anyone testing this in 1.6? My initial attempt to install and configure this Extension failed, but I didn’t see it discussed in this thread so thought I’d bring it up and see if anyone had any info (apparently Travis doesn’t plan to touch this until September.)
I’ll crack it open and see if I can fix it myself, but I’m a bit leery of taking the time if others have already done it, or if it’s going to cause a big stink.
I’ve posted the 2.0 version of this module at the beginning of the thread.
2.0.0 - Sept. 5, 2007
=======
* Upgraded and tested with EE 1.6.
* Tweaks to language
* New functionality:
1. Improved the Email button on the Publish screen
2. Remove the “Image” button. I mean seriously, who uses it?
3. Remove some of the cruft from user-added Date fields (like not the entry_date, but rather new Date fields you’ve added)
4. Changed the title behavior on the Publish screen
5. Made it easy to add the date to your url_title
6. Remove the My Account tab
7. Remove the Modules tab
Also, this version doesn’t blow up when you’re using the Pages module.
Ok, I feel a little silly, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get the “live edit” stuff going on. I’ve got it checked, in the settings, but I assume there is a snippet of code or something I need to include to make it appear, correct?
I’ve read this thread twice and checked the “README”, but can’t seem to find it. Point me in the right direction?
Hm. Nevermind, I found it. I think I misunderstood the function of the feature. I thought the purpose was to allow an author to edit a static weblog entry without having to dip into the control panel itself. Maybe I’m thinking of something else…
I have installed ext.publishimprove.php, enabled it and configured the settings to hide the Preview and Quick Save buttons. However, it doesn’t hide either button.
I also enabled the “view on live site” link function and that works fine, so the extension is there and working, but the Preview and Quick Save buttons are still there.
If I had to guess, I’d say “Clone Entries” might be conflicting but I’m not sure… however, you can help me. Disable your other extensions and see if PublishImprove is changing te Preview / Quick Save buttons. If it is, enable the other extensions one by one. Once you find the offender, let me know and I’ll see if I can find a way to make the two of them co-operate for you.
Travis, just rediscovered this extension, love the flexability in customizing a user’s CP experience.
One request (for now):
I’ve never liked the preview page, because it has no relation to what will be output on the site once templates are factored in. Using your plugin, I can get rid of “preview”, and I can get rid of “submit”. Then I rename quick save to “Save”. This puts the user back on the edit page, but there are a couple problems:
* “View the live version” isn’t visible. This is my main goal, to either re-edit the entry, or have access to view it on the website inside of a template.
* The resulting page says “Quick Save” above the edit form. Ideally I’d like to be able to customize that title to something like “Your Entry Has Been Saved.
Bug: in the case, when you are coming to Edit entry area, the text (image) “Upload image” not showing. But only if “weblog_id=” not appear in URL (e.g. link to entry from Pages module). Maybe it’s conflict with other extension. Could you chceck it?
I just rediscovered this extension myself and it has come along very nicely. I just installed it on my current build and it works great. Thanks so much.
