[jQuery] Re: Your download is corrupted
Annie/Cyndy/prilly - awesome trolling. it had all the right ingredients to enrage the readers of this group, and was executed with style and panache. Although i feel you could have obfuscated the issue a little more and dragged it out another few posts before the twist, 8/10.
[jQuery] Re: Your download is corrupted
I don't see this group mentioned anywhere in the extension pages: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/6731/details http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/superfishmodule/ nor in the extension's source code. I assume you googled "superfish" and found references to it. That way you'll end up in a Windows forum :) Hiring a web developer would make your life much easier.

You know what else is annoying? When you try to be a smart ass and can't even spell necessary correctly, it is REALLY ANNOYING. You know what else is REALLY ANNOYING? When you use a period instead of a comma because you don't know punctuation. What is the moral of this story? Don't be a smart ass unless you know how to use the spell checker.

Ok here goes. jQuery is a javascript framework. It has nothing to do with Joomla or the other "site" you're talking about.

[jQuery] Re: Your download is corrupted
Hi Annie Apparently you are very confused. The right place to solve your issue is : http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/superfishmodule/forum/?action=ForumBrowse&forum_id=10474 You should discuss your issues with the Joomla extension developer that has created this Joomla module : Cy Morris The Joomla module "Superfish Dropdown Menu" uses a script named "Superfish" created by a jQuery plugin developer : Joel Birch. The "Superfish" script uses a javascript library named jQuery created by a javascript developer named John Resig. Your rant is bit similar to someone who would attack Benjamin Franklin because the TV is not functioning. Its not because you cant get your stuff working properly that you are "stupid", and its not the fault of the rest of the world either. Web development is complex, and sometimes frustrating, but ignorance not an excuse for aggressivity. Nobody has been hurt anyway, but you won't get much help with that kind of attitude. Actually it seems that the "cause" of your troubles is something else on your website. There is an other option for you if you prefer, which is to get a webagency to do the work for you. You'll need to pay a lot of money of course, but they will put a nice smiling person between you and the developers. -Olivier Annie's Favorite Stuff wrote: I downloaded your Superfish file, and it didn't work, which caused a lot of confusion and I've wasted an entire day trying to find some menu system that will actually work... Then I tried installing your system again. And this time it installed. I'm not sure which one is corrupted but it caused a whole lot of problems.

[jQuery] Re: Your download is corrupted
It isn't MY "module". I'm simply one of the 16000+ people who use this list to seek and share information about jQuery. Your tirades posted to this list, thus far, suggest that you don't have an "adequate" understanding about what jQuery even is. Nor mailing lists, free software, Joomla, or the kindness of strangers. As for your "review" I don't think there's too much cause for concern. I'm not at all affiliated with the jQuery developers but I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that they probably don't give a damn about anyone choosing not to use their framework based solely on the opinion of someone who so obviously is without clue. But that's just me. Did you follow the link I posted? On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 7:19 PM, Annie Stevens wrote: > No, you don't have it straight. I downloaded YOUR module, which refused to > install.

[jQuery] Re: Your download is corrupted
No, you don't have it straight. I downloaded YOUR module, which refused to install. So I studied the site for a long time trying to understand what was the installation method. I spent a lot of time trying to learn how to use this module which didn't seem to BE a module. It seemed all of you were working with straight code and expected ME to understand what to do with this handful of files in the zip file. The confusion was totally caused by the fact that Joomla rejected the module and wouldn't install it. I tried a zillion other menus on Joomla and they didn't work too great either, because there are so many conflicts with mootools and javascript. Finally I downloaded Superfish again, this time I downloaded a different file (you have TWO available) and the other module installed properly and was easy to use. This was after an entire day of trouble, all of which was caused by the file which didn't and wouldn't install. Which is not your fault, but it WAS your file that caused this helluva day. So I don't know how to "repeal" the bad review but at the time I wrote it I didn't think your product had an adequate description. There was no explanation on what to do with the zip file. Of course, such a description isn't necessary IF it had worked properly. So this isn't anybody's fault, not mine and not yours, but I think it would be good if we could get rid of the bad review. If you want to challenge it and send my note, here, along with it, maybe that will help.

Let me get this straight: you had (unspecified) difficulties with a 3rd-party plugin and now you're assuming that some (unspecified) file in the jQuery "system" is somehow (unspecified) corrupted? And so, in your "bothered" state and with nothing else but your own fantasies to go by you've left a bad review "over there" at some (unspecified) extensions site? I don't know where to begin. Actually, I do. And I hope this isn't too far above your reading level. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 5:35 PM, Annie's Favorite Stuff wrote: > > I downloaded your Superfish file, and it didn't work, which caused a > lot of confusion and I've wasted an entire day trying to find some > menu system that will actually work...
