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

Hey Kghbln,

Thanks for test-driving my extension. Your feedback is awesome! Here are my initial (i.e. before actually coding anything new/different) responses.

Regarding the added features:
 * 1) filtering out repeatedly visited pages: I've thought about this, but it's a very subtle setting. I think it is the kind of thing that I might want to expose to administrators, but not to users.  I'll play with the code and follow-up when I get a chance.
 * 2) setting preferences for bread crumbs by the user: That's a fantastic suggestion. I'll add it immediately.
 * 3) storing history in the database: I'm afraid I haven't gotten deeply enough into the mediawiki database architecture to really understand the ramifications of this. Specifically, I don't know where the information should be stored.  Do you have any suggestions?

Regarding the regressions:
 * 1) CSS Manipulation: This is something I really want to do better. I moved the breadcrumbs to the subtitle because my particular application called for that behavior, but I really do wish there was a better, more user-configurable solution. I'll look into exposing the trail to admin-specified CSS.
 * 2) Translation: I haven't looked into the translation process at all. I just borrowed the JSBreadCrumbs i18n file because it looked much more comprehensive, but I knew it was basically cheating.  I'll revert to the original i18n file (with some updates for the new interfaces).

Thanks again--I really appreciate your input. Cheers!
