Frontend - Extension Submit / Edit / View

[mfleeson]

From the technical specification.
Extension Submission
Functionality
Registered users can add / edit their own extensions. The extension submission form should be easily customisable so that new fields can be added in the future. The submission process should be as automated as possible.
1. The component should check the user’s account for any pending issues. The component should prevent submissions if:
the user has 3 pending submissions.
the user has a suspended account.
the user has any unpublished listings for any reason other than UR5 (per developer request).
2. Submission form fields - (*) indicates a required field:
Name *
Free and Paid checkboxes
Extension Type (multi-select)
Component - Mini-application to render the main page body
Module - Renders small html blocks on any page
Plugin - Changes code behavior dynamically
Extension Specific Add-on - a Specific add-on that requires another extension to operate
3. The form needs to run the JED Checker automatically for all files uploaded.
Different automatic tests based on extension type selection.
Items to test:
All tests currently present + Match Listing Name + Reserved Words + Joomla
Check to see if the alias for the extension already exists
If it passes, continue.
If it doesn’t pass, display issues from checker to user.
If it doesn’t pass, the user has the option (via checkbox) to bypass the check and describe why the submission is valid. In this scenario, the submission will be placed in a manual review queue.
4. Remaining fields:
Descriptions
Descriptions should support simple BBCode or Markdown for only: bold, italic, underlined, and lists
Include a main Description field (text area) in English
The developer should also be able to add extra descriptions in other languages. They would need to fill in 2 fields: Language Name (select from list) and a Description (text area).

The actual Update XML + for a paid extension a code that allows free downloads (that should allow a opt-in to the security review - badge
The possibility of auto populating some fields using data from the extension’s XML install file should be reviewed. The user would need to provide the XML file for this.
When the extension submission is approved, the user who created the listing should be able to unpublish their own listing (with an automatic reason: UR5-Per Developer Request). The user should also be able to update listing information. The user should also have the ability to open a ticket for their own listing in this area.
If someone changes the distribution model (free to paid and vice-versa), reviews are automatically deleted. The listing owner should receive a warning that their reviews will be wiped out, before saving the listing.
An extension name (ex: plg_system_example) must be unique and bound to the developer account, no one other than this developer is allowed to publish (and sign) packages with that extension name. An extension name should be prevented from including any words that are not permitted as below. The form should not allow submission if any are present.
