Question

I was wondering if there is a simple way for me to search the plugins web with a search statement equivalent to "Show me all plugins that have been added or modified since XXX date" (or alternatively, show me the list of all plugins / add-ons / etc, sorted by date (So I can essentially see "what's new"). Any ideas much appreciated!

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

For Plugins, this is basically the "Recently modified Plugins" list in Plugins.PluginPackage. View the raw source of that topic to see how it works. You can tweak the format="" parameter to get a custom output. The limit="" parameter currently works just with a number, it could be enhanced to understand a date limit.

If you want to go fancy you could assign the $date in the format="" to a SpreadSheet variable, convert it to a serialized date, compare it to your cutoff value, and output the search result only if within limit.
