Find Date Phrases

Post by tatewise »

The topic Casting template data as a particular data-type (22911) has raised some issues.
The 'Find Date Phrases' CP plugin has some omissions.
  1. Despite the Plugin Store claiming it is a Standard plugin for FH V7, the header has no @Type: Standard line.
  2. It does not find Date Phrases in any Source Citation template Date fields and possibly other Date fields too.
What is the recommended way of reporting such things?
Is it via https://support.calico-pie.com/open.php CP Support Tickets?

Via the plugin store, but probably simpler just to fork it yourself.

P.S. Works in FH7 doesn't mean 'does everything conceivable in FH7'.

There are probably quite a few other plugins flagged as FH7-compatible that don’t necessarily support all FH7 features. Updates will depend on the author’s priorities and user feedback (or, more likely, lack of)…

As the source says
@Title: Find Date Phrases
@Author: Calico Pie
I'd be inclined to raise a ticket in the first instance. Only if you get a negative response think about making a fork.

CP have updated the plugin in the Plugin Store for both issues that I reported.
