I need a Beta-Tester

I hope you all had a happy holiday.

I made some changes to the “place here module” ( sometimes I think I should find another name). There is now an edit button in the frontend, you can specifiy an offset (so, for example, you can display a category starting with the 5th,7th,nt..h article), the module rows now have a CSS class “even” and “odd” respectively than can be used for “zebra striping” (alternate colors) and I fixed a number of bugs (or so I hope).

However I’m not at home (that is, not at my workplace) and have only a very limited internet connection, so I have no proper way to test all this. So I would ask you out there to do a bit of beta-testing for me.

I especially want to know if the links are correct when the content type is set to “articles” (formerly content items, I changed this to be consistent with J!1.5 terminology)  and “link to category” is set to “yes” (and SEO Urls are enabled).

Link is here: mod_placehere_v111_beta

I’m grateful if anybody will test this for me, but you shouldn’t bother yet to update production sites even if it works (since there will be more changes shortly).

    Der Abschnitt über “I am Legend” ist weitgehend eine Übersetzung meiner eigenen Rezension hier im Blog. Für die Verwendung der illustrierenden Videoaussschnitte reklamiere ich “Fair use” (lasse mich von den Rechteinhabern aber gegebenfalls auch ohne Rechtsstreit eines anderen überzeugen).

      Why are we here

      Religion and philosophy have for ages asked questions like “Why are we here” or “what is the purpose of our existence in the universe”. Since they haven’t found any answers yet I like to propose after this weekend two anwers myself. We are here to

      • help a godchild to build towers and fortresses from sofa cushions
      • to feel the gentle rasp of a cats’ tongue against the tip of our fingers [1]

      Okay, so that’s not very philosophical, but I guess as long as I have a choice I prefer cats and kids to philosophy.

      1. A second before she tries to claw of your arm. It’s not so much that cats are actually unpredictable, it’s more that apes always fall for the same tricks.
