Hi guys,
the MOD team (specifically paul, vic and a_jelly_donut) have been working on a new tool to validate MODs. The great thing about it is, it's written in PHP, which means it can be run on the serverside. It will find common problems by analysing the code. Please pre-validate your MODs before sending the to the MODDB or they will be instadenyed.
The URL is: http://www.phpbb.com/mods/mpv/

We're not all select MOD authors so we can't test it. I for one feel very left out.

Re: MPV - the MOD pre-validator. (please help test)
Will fix the first one.
HTML can never be used (Thats someting with XML, nothing todo with MODX in direct. Iam pretty sure its also not showing in the browser?).
The reason it didnt give a warning about the version was probarly because the XML errors (It cant valide, so cant read the XML file), so it wasnt able to get that.

Yes, you are right HTML code isn't shown in browser, I tested also the old MODX template and it wasn't showing it as well.
It is not important having BOLD or ITALIC, it is just cosmetic.
Regarding the VERSION issue you are right, the problem was different: I was notified that the old MAJOR - MINOR - REVISION wasn't accepted anymore, so the version wasn't parsed at all.
Since it is a change respect to the MODX 1.0.1, maybe it is worth mentioning that user has to remove MAJOR - MINOR - REVISION and insert the version without any other child node (both in mod version and history).

It's a good thing the MOD Team speeds up testing by letting MOD Authors do it

That's a bit harsh.
I see this as a tool to make sure MOD authors get their submissions past the first few hurdles and allowing the MOD team members get on with more important things like ensuring there's no security issues for the end user.

Re: MPV - the MOD pre-validator.
I'm confused...what URL do you put in? To the modx file? or to the directory with the MOD? Or a zip?
That's like, I can't beat my neighbor in an argument, so instead I kill his dog.
