Dynamic Component DCFunctionsV1 within in Module

[michaelwhksg]

Thanks, Dan. Will take a look at Julia's tutorial.

I do agree that some improvements can be made to the DC functionalities. This will definitely benefit a lot of users.

Just an update to everyone.

After a few rounds of re-submission of my extension to meet the stringent requirements, this time, it is taking slightly longer than usual. I am still waiting for the status of being published in the Extended Warehouse.

In any case, below are some of the screenshots I have created for the extension.

Hi, does anyone know how long it takes to get an extension approved by the Extension Warehouse Team normally?

After a few rounds of back and forth and updating the extension, I submitted the extension again on 29May. Aside from getting the one auto-response, I did not hear anything else.

I then resubmitted again on 13June. Still no change in the status.

Any advice on this?

They have been known to be slow. Perhaps it's the summer vacation season ?

[michaelwhksg]

Oh I see. Thanks a lot Dan. Will wait for the feedback from them then.

Hi TIG and Dan, good news. My extension is being approved by the EWH team and the trial version is now in the Extension Store.

Like you mentioned previously, the EWH team initially rejected the idea of having the DCFunctionsV1 approach. After I explained the rationale of using it, they finally gave the approval.

Seems like there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks.

My next challenge will be the licensing issue.

I went thru Julia Christina Eneroth's tutorial, but still have some questions. For example, in the code, ext_id = "15dfa30f-4957-4549-8cdb-e97b5727a13a", I am unsure how this comes about.

Anyway, one way I circumvent this is to have the trial version in the Extension Store and the full version in my website (still fixing up the shopping cart in my website though).

Thank for the guidance. You guys rock!

A miracle for common-sense - well done !

Please start a new topic, or find one that is already on this subject.

Remember I said this ?

(3) Yes, please use a unique method name, as your implementation of the atan2 method (specifically the parameter list) is not how the rest of the world would define it for use by ALL coders.

I really hope you used a unique function name and not atan2 as you had previously defined it early on.

[michaelwhksg]

Will look into the licensing aspect in the forum, Dan.

Yes, you are right. I have used a unique function name for my extension. atan2 is just an example.

By the way, I have sort of documented the steps I took to create the DC extension and have it published in the Extension Warehouse.

Just to share with anyone who is interested. It is actually for my own reference in future.
