Description

With T10518 a new category has been created. Unfortunally knewstuff could not access this category.

I'm using the following knsrc config fiile:

[KNewStuff3]
ProvidersUrl=https://autoconfig.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml
Categories=Alkimia Online Quotes
TargetDir=alkimia/quotes
Uncompress=archive

knewstuff from kf5 showed the the following debug messages:

For the other category, I have the info that it was internally labelled "Skrooge report template", so this is what was searched and matched some time in the past.
Since then we never changed that, but if nowadays the exact DISPLAY name is used, we can certainly revise that.
Please double-check if internally the client looks for "Skrooge Report Templates" or "Skrooge report template".

The other category name for Skrooge is also "Skrooge quote source" instead of DISPLAY name "Skrooge Quote Sources".

The new category for Alkimia has no old name, so there is only DISPLAY name "Alkimia Online Quotes".

habacker added a comment.Feb 28 2019, 9:37 PM

In skrooge there is used "Skrooge report template". I checked the skrooge report template category as a test only and reporting my results, because I did not know if the issue is located in the client or the store, so nothing need to be changed yet.
Is there any option, to see those internal informations from the category tree, may be as logged in user ?

This works now, thanks for help. I'm going to add both categories to the client config to be able to get all entries.

On a low level I can answer this question by myself. They are returned by https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/categories.

It seems that noone cares about adding features to KDE store :-(

I have the same issue when I was playing around with the KRunner plugins.
The "App Runners" and "Web Runners" categories are not available.
Maybe @leinir can help :-) ?

Hello, I took a quick look at our source code and so at first glance I can see no problem.
I don't know if it's helpful, but I've included an example of an answer from our server below.

Thanks for having a look!

I guess you are showing an reply for https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/categories?

But there are still categories like "App Runners" and "Web Runners" missing.
But the data for the categories is available, for instance web runners: https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/data?categories=629, they are just not shown in the category overview.

alexanderschmidt added a comment.Jun 12 2020, 6:20 PM

Thanks for the clarification. I added the missing categories in configuration and I hope it works as expected now. Are you missing anything else?

alex added a comment.EditedJun 12 2020, 6:21 PM

You are awesome 😎 That was it, thanks a lot!!!

alex added a comment.Dec 8 2020, 7:12 AM

Let my hijack this task again, could you please add https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/103 as a category to the API? In the knsrc file ProvidersUrl=https://distribute.kde.org/khotnewstuff/fonts-providers.xml is hardcoded and consequently only the ancient fonts from there are available. Or is that in any way intentional?

Can this be closed? For new tasks, it's best to open new ticket.
