They'll fix that
I doubt it. And if they will ever fix it, I'm pretty sure they will provide methods that professional programmers can use as a replacement.
How long are we waiting for a fix for http://bugs.micasaverde.com/view.php?id=1038 (and for many other bugs and missing features)?
We've shown that when we focus, and list our bugs/enhancements [formally] in manageable, prioritized chunks, that MCV and team will listen. This is how we got the long list of key fixes in the latest Beta, via the Beta forum.
Did it come easily, no. But when we each contributed our [short] "key-bugs" list then they were fixed.
I think if you:
- File Mantis bug reports for each Problem - after all, they can't fix what they don't know about
- Be the driver behind a Beta release for UI/Security functionality.
- Get support that these issues are the "highest priority" to fix - the security one should be given what you can do with it
...then you could get the fixes.
Personally, I haven't pursued many of the recent Mantis items filed as, whilst they're important to me, they're not in the "
Top 20" issues that need to be fixed in Vera.... so I hold off. In the case of the Weather Plugin, I have the somewhat less flexible request #1386 but I don't use the Dashboard that often, so would rather something be added to the CP's (SQRemote has something close to what's needed in the HTML Widget)
So, let's start with first principals....
What Mantis/Bug#'s are you using to track both the Security issue, and the desire for a new Dashboard HTML-based UI/Widget?
We can then add to the existing Private-Beta track to see if we can get enough support (compared to any stability/functional/performance type issues)
