I’m trying to implement GHNS for a plasma widget called panon. Being new, it doesn’t have a category on the store and its shaders get uploaded to category 564, “Various KDE Stuff”.
The reason I suspect this is a store bug is that
If you try and use a category that isn't exported through the API, then yeah, it's not likely to work - so... let's tag in someone who can fix that :)
Hi phils,
what is panon?
Any suggestion what Category name and items those would be if panon had its own category for it?

It’s not that unlikely to work, as searching the API directly works: https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/data?categories=564&tags=panon
It doesn’t though, so I assume Attica first checks if the category exists instead of just performing the search or so.

Hi starbuck, panon is an audio spectrum visualizer for plasma panels.
I’d like to implement GHNS support for downloading new visualizations, since once this bug here is fixed, it’s very very easy. Thank you all for the great design!

Panon itself calls them “shaders”, so maybe “Panon shaders”?
That was indeed what i was referring to when i suggested it was unlikely that it'd work. KNewStuff will limit searches to the categories you give it (since otherwise it would be searching through the entire store, which... is a bit much, there's a lot of stuff on there :D )

That sounds like a welcome addition, and going by the screenshots that's some shininess going on right there! :)

You misunderstood: I said that it seens like it limits search to categories that it thinks exist. If it would simply try to use the ones I give it, it would work (as does the URL search I posted above).

Certainly, it’s super cool! And yeah, adding a category (and making sure it appears in https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/categories) will of course work too.
Hi,
we added the new categoy 624: "Panon Shaders" under the category "KDE Extensions". It appears also in https://api.kde-look.org/ocs/v1/content/categories.
