    Licensing should be fine, as everything is free to download now. For third-party add-ons it would make sense to follow the same model and have a license key to add to the config.php

    I'm not sure why that wouldn't work on nginx. The reason we're using a relative path there is because we don't yet have the configuration option to know where to redirect to.

    I don't think we'd want to get in the position where we're taking payments on behalf of third-party developers, primarily because the tax and accounting implications are so complex that it likely wouldn't be worthwhile financially for the commission we'd be able to charge.


    I wouldn't be averse to an official directory (perhaps restricted to those with Registered Developer accounts) but each seller would need to handle their own payments, I think. It would end up being a more formalised version of Clive's listing.


    I did research heavily switching Perch to use Composer for installs and updates when developing Perch 3. At the time my conclusion was that


    1. Perch isn't structured in a way that easily lends itself to configuration with Composer
    2. Composer is convenient for developers, but way too complex for a large section of customers whose expertise is more on the front-end and creative sides of a project

    I'm up for that being revisited, and if some bright spark can figure out a way to have add-ons installed with Composer as an option, then I'd be all for it. It's probably not something I can afford to sink my own time into, however.

    Here's how the table should look:


    I have a file called oldperch_members and the new file perch_members in the addons directory.

    That's why you have two apps then. Perch has no way to know that you intend an app with the vendor prefix oldperch to be ignored. It's a valid app. If you don't want it installed, remove it.


    I do not get notices of the postings is that supposed to happen?

    You can enable email notifications in your forum settings.

    The scheduled task secret has nothing to do with the Twitter authentication secret - those are completely different things.


    If you reauthenticate the Twitter app and then manually fetch tweets with the button, does that work?

    If you don't see the button to add a new plan ('add' buttons are generally top-right of the UI as a rule) then you might not have permissions to do that.


    Are you logged in as the primary admin?

    Any issues will be with things that use GROUP BY functions. I believe all these are patched now - I’ve not had any reported in quite a while.


    So no, it’s not obvious breakage, it’s subtle.
