This is just an auto-generated index (actually, should be locked).
Then I would suggest Jim create a new locked Index thread.
And then THIS thread becomes titled: [talk] Plugins Index

thank you gaieus for the immediate response.

thank you gaieus for the immediate response.
but what happenned to my freedo plugins it automatically deleted when i load the matchbox plugins.
sorry i have so many question.
-
The 'matchbox' plugin is known to overwrite built-in class methods and for it's flakiness and so is not 'recommended', BUT if you use it then it's at your own risk, as it will probably mess up other tools - as you have found out.
If you have to use it then rename it 'matchbox.rb.txt' so it doesn't auto-load, then when you have an overwhelming desire to use it open the Window > Ruby Console and type in
load 'matchbox.rb.txt'- it will load and you can use it BUT other tools will probably break! Restart to run without it loaded again...There are alternatives to using it so I strongly recommend you think about these instead...
SketchyPhysics is also know to mess with a few scripts [Mirror/2Dtools-Fillet] but there are workarounds with those.
So, only load scripts you really need - having hundreds installed will slow the SKP's opening and can cause [very rare] clashes as you've found out !
-
Jim has now tweaked the plugin index and now it's possible to link/jump to each author's listing. Here is ThomThom for instance - notice the anchor part of the link at the end:
#thomthom

How can one make anchors in posts?
-
Sorry... but that #thomthom link doesn't jump anywhere*** [FireFox7] it stays jumps to the start of this very thread ???
I still don't see why we need these 'anchors' other than in this specific context.
You can link to any individual post by getting its own address off the small rectangle under the main-title to the left, rather than linking to the thread itself which doesn't help when you are within a thread OR the thread is very long! ...
For example this one links to my post four or so back on 20110803 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=346058#p346058 or Rich's post in this thread on 20110708 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=340857#p340857 etc etc...TOO CLARIFY...
EDIT: This links to thomthom's list in the Plugins Index http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=250026#thomthom [HOORAY!]
***This links to the 'Plugins Index' post#1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=250026#p250026 UNLIKE the http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=250026 link in the red-button which jumps to the start of that page - which if you use reverse chronological order like I do is NOT the post needed...
***Then the anchored links within that - 'from the plugins by name' to 'author-list' - DO work well - so I'm not sure what's wrong with that link-Gaieii - it's just wrong??

Well, to me, this link takes me to the list of TT's plugins:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=28782#thomthom
and this one to your (TIG's) plugins:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=28782#TIGNow in addition to this, the names there are also links (with the same anchor tag) so after you went there and click again, of course it will not move. But scroll away and click on an author's name again and it should "jump" there.
I am not saying it is super-useful and we could not live without it - it's just a nice addition I could finally figure out how to create. And please, don't sadden me; I finally find myself useful!
-
Both the links that Gaieus just posted go back to this very page for me
The links I posted in my edit thread here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=349570#p349570 do work however...The links/anchors work fine
it's just your posted links are wrong - Csaba look at the thread id it's this one ???
For example this is mine link http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=250026#TIG -
OK so it seems it's better to post with the post number (P=) rather than the topic number (T=).
So this would work (I know you have some unusual display order setting...)?
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=250026#thomthom(I think that's what Dan was trying to explain to me, too...)
-
That new link to thomthom's list now works [for me at least]!
At last it works!
You can just right-click over the anchor-link e.g. 'TIG' in the original post and get the link - it copies the full-code that you can then use - no need to worry about constructing it - and it links to the anchor itself within the post too... -
It should work for everyone (I hope) even for weirdos like you
-
What are ye on about? Will I need to use these?
-
No. It's just to make Jim happy.
-
Jim explained on the Anchor thread why these are useful. So, thanks to those involved to adding extra functionality to the forums.

At last it works!TIG.. there was another topic recently, (openURL w/anchor on mac,) where a user was complaining that FireFox (on OSX,) didn't handle # in urls correctly.
I posted the link to the FF bug forum, where you can search for "anchor", and get quite a few hits, where users are complaining of bugs.@tig said:

Yes this is what I was trying to say.. create the anchor first, then use it's link, to go and set a url jump "from" link.
-
Yay for anchors. I've wished for this - but strangely kept my mouth shut....
-
FireFox works just fine with the # anchor tags... it was the Csaba's link was constructed [and in that I display posts in reverse chronological order so the first one is the most recent]. When the anchor-link is properly formed, so to looks to the very post itself and not to that post's thread, then it all works fine
-
Agreed... and being sure the post number is in the url, should eliminate conflicts with same named anchors in the same thread.
