What Happened to REEOrder?

Look for Low Reorder on Devot:ee.

Unfortunately that one is only for EE2, I’m still using EE1. Plus it’s $16.

@kgrote here you go.

@Lisa Do you have any idea what happened to the REEOrder thread? Also, I did a some testing and it seems that quite a few other Module threads have ‘disappeared’, breaking numerous links on Devot:ee, blogs an even the official Wiki.

Any idea what is going on? Care to share?

We recently pruned the forums, Cocoaholic, so yes - some very old threads are now gone.

Lisa, it might have been an old thread, but it was still relevant and active. Why would such a thread need to be pruned?

Hi, Low - we pruned by date; we did not hand-pick which threads to remove. We hadn’t pruned the forums in a number of years and most of that data was irrelevant and confusing to newcomers (and some veterans).

I don’t really know how to word this properly, so for now I’ll just say that I am baffled… :down:

Hmmm. Maybe next time pruning by last_entry_date or something would produce a less awkward result.

And I downgraded to ‘Lab Assistant’, too. :(

It is important that if you are going to offer an add-on to the public, you make it available on your site; these forum posts do get pruned and have historically been pruned as well.

I am sorry that this has caused any inconvenience for you.

Oh, unpleasant news. Those “old” threads are a great help. I saw this a lot today: “Error. The following errors were encountered: You are not authorized to perform this action”. I really believed you are in some kind of optimizing process. But not in this way. 🐛

The original postings may be old but totally up to date (in regard to EE 1.6) and many discussions went until today or the recent past like the REEOrder threat (Google Cache).

Seems like I have to crawl through Google Cache all night and save the relevant threads I can think of locally. :(

Hooray! Thanks @Cocoaholic, I will cherish this as my own child. Is it EE2 compatible as well?

I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus here, but I understand that the forum needs to be pruned now and then to improve speed an performance, and it seems only logical to post your own work on a personal site as well as the forums, in case of just this occurrence. Or server problems, international cyber-terrorism, what have you 😊 Plus I think having it on a standalone site adds credibility…

At the very least maybe you could throw it up on GitHub or Google Code…

But hey, it’s your work and it’s awesome so you do what you gotta do!

Everyone should know you’re free to post free add-on files right on devot-ee.com as well. We have a lot of link checking to do on devot:ee now, apparently.

@kgrote: That version is EE1 specific. You’ll need Low’s version for EE2. He’s thrown in some extras and I’ve found it very useful so the $16 is reasonable, IMHO.

Ah that explains some of my bookmarks getting ‘Unauthorised’. Genius move!
