Thread:Extension talk:BreadCrumbs/Feedback on the rewrite performed in v0.2/reply (2)

Heiya Tony,

I have used this one for years now and I am happy for every progress it makes. Thus testing it is the least I can do and I am happy to do so. First of all: Wow! You already worked on most of the wishes and issues I pointed out in my thread. Thank you so much for doing this!

Added features:
 * 1) filtering out repeatedly visited pages: I have played a bit with the parameters   and   which I believe are meant to manipulate the display in conjunction with  . So far these settings do not have any effect. It just filters out the duplicated pages, but does not rearrange them.
 * 2) setting preferences for bread crumbs by the user: Great thank you. This works like a charm.
 * 3) storing history in the database: Ouch, since I am not a coder I cannot provide a lot of information. However, I think that all extensions which have to write to the database for some reason do it in a new extension specific table to prevent interfering with the existing ones provided by MW itself. Perhaps asking at IRC would be advisable in this situation.

Detected regressions:
 * 1) CSS manipulation: Great, it is good to have this feature back. This works like a charm, too.
 * 2) Translation: The translation process for MediaWiki is excellent. Basically you just have to provide the English messages within the I18n-file and the rest is done via translatewiki.net, provided that the extension is on Gerrit. Even two languages versions of Firefox switched to this system recently. One thing I realised: You did not use UTF-8 for the revert of the messages so practically all messages are broken due to the wrong charset code used.
 * 3) Breadcrumbs for anons: I just realised that you switched the standard setting of   from "true" to "false". I think this should be changed back since it will cater for the standard needs of more websites than the other way around.

Cheers and thank you
