Well... we can see the consequences of not having much time to be in front of the computer to code nice little PostNuke mods. Some time ago, I expressed my idea to do a sort of pncPayPal suite.
You can see the original news [ HERE ].
Basically, it was made of a pncIPN that would act as a Paypal IPN receiver that would give the admin the possibility to redirect the information to X module based on the type of transaction...
Donation -> pncPaypal (temporary name)
Subscription -> pncPPMembership (again, this is a temporary name).
etc...
pncIPN was to be free or given with the others but the others were to be 5€ each. Cheap huh ?
The problem ? Well not much... aside the fact that you can have some sort of all that with the MirageLab LabModules suite. Hum... (I just made that one up
)... something like that.
Now, I never tried Miragelab mods, and don't intend to do. Not because it is bad, as I said, never tried it. But because I don't need it.
But since I don't like much reinventing the wheel...
Should I go on with my plans... or not ? My objectives was to work on that after releasing the pnGroups 2.0... so it was in my plans anyway.
What I can probably say it's that the Labmods seems a little old and it's author doesn't look very active... at least these days.
So... Why not ask ?..
Should I do it ?.. or not ? Is it a need... or not ?
C !

I vote "yes" that you continue with your plans. Why? I'll tell you why... ;) 1. You are intimately familiar with all of your other modules/blocks (of course), making it easier for you to make them integrate and/or communicate with each other more effectively. 2. All of your products are AWESOME, so I assume that this module would be equally awesome. 3. As you said, the MirageLab modules seem to be rather old and the support forum doesn't appear to be very active. 4. Your prices are great! 5. You provide the most active, friendly and quick support I've ever seen from any other developer. Should I go on? :D |

I vote yes also. Mostly because it really is needed and has been needed for a while. As was said above, your work is great and I like the way you support the community here and other places. Besides it's the only place I visit that has an ashtray waiting for me and I would much rather deal with a smoker any day, hahahah. So, will I be able to try it out next week or not? |
