Description Jaromir Uhrik 2007-02-28 14:44:57 UTC 
If the user wants to upload plugin that is linked to the pluginportal the form
should contain the URL where the .nbm resides. This URL field must be mandatory
in the upload form.

Can you please give me more information on this?  I don't understand what the
defect is.
Comment 2 Jaromir Uhrik 2007-03-01 10:51:41 UTC 
User may want to link to:
1.just homepage of plug-in
2.the plug-in URL
In both situation the user should fill in the following mandatory field when
linking the plug-in to our pluginportal:
ad. 1)home page (e.g. http://great_plugin.sourceforge.net)
ad. 2)module url (e.g http://great_plugin.sourceforge.net/great_plugin.nbm)

Hope this is clear now,
.JARa
Comment 3 David Botterill 2007-03-01 18:13:51 UTC 
OK I see what you are talking about now.  For the current UI spec, if the user
chooses not to host their NBM on the Plugin Portal, we will not provide a link
directly to the NBM.  If they want that behavior, the user can use the "Home
Page" attribute to point directly to the NBM.  We think this usage scenario will
most likely be used by commercial plugin providers and they will want the user
to go to the home page before getting to the NBM.

I'm changing this to an enhancement request so we can deal with this at the
specification level.
Comment 4 David Botterill 2007-04-20 16:40:11 UTC 
This has been implemented.  If the NBM doesn't live on the plugin portal, the
download button will take them to the URL specified on the "homepage".
Comment 5 Jaromir Uhrik 2007-06-19 16:03:59 UTC 
Verified. Download button redirects to the given URL now.
