What? Nothing! Plugin

What? Nothing! does nothing... just nothing!


Are you just like me and sometimes just want to do nothing, nothing at all?

Well, that brought me to this revolutionary plugin for Joomla! All these plugins that are available do all sorts of stuff. All busy doing their thing. Adding functionality here. Manipulating html output there. Making your website better and better.

Well, that's all good and nice, but it's so much activity!
That's where this plugin comes in...

What it does? Absolutely nothing!


PS: Check out the What? Nothing! system plugin settings. You might want to tweak them to fit your needs.

After reading the instructions and downloading, there's a large gap of time that I can't account for. Highly recommended!
Owner's reply

Hmm, yet another report of this extension deleting time. If you experience any loss in space too, let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.

Here I am, cruising JED looking for that great extension for my project like a junkie looking for her next fix. I will never get a better fix than I did with What? Nothing! and my website never looked better. Considering purchasing the pro version. Thanks!
Owner's reply

That's why junkies are more positive people than developers. A developer look for a bug. A junkie looks for a fix.

This product could stand some enhancments. I would like to see some statistics/reports around the success of doing nothing. Of course that may change the whole concept of the extension. But my clients always ask for an ROI. I would like to show my clients the benefit of doing nothing. Nothing better than useless statistics for this purpose. As it stands right now I have to pull these statistics out of the air. And the cost of this extension, free, makes it even tougher to quantify the ROI. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Owner's reply

I don't see a direct need for statistics at the moment. I have experimented with stats, but they all seem to return empty.
I would advise you to just make your clients try out the extension themselves. Experience speaks louder than statistics.

No, I haven't set 5 stars to his extension !

Let me explain why...It's supposed to do nothing...but it's relative.

When someone asks you 'What are you doing?', you sometimes reply 'Nothing' but you really do something. You reply this because you feel guilty or you think what you do is useless or has no impact...

So 'nothing' is really relative to a context, a person.

In this case, the owner of this extension has chosen to implement his nothing, what he thinks nothing is...

He chose a nothing in our place, so we have nothing to do.

I'm ready to subscribe to the pro version but only if we can choose which nothing this extension will do : either by some parameters or by an override.

Wouldn't it be good if we could implement our own empty php code or select 'Nothing 1', 'Nothing 2', 'A huge nothing' ?

Please, respect the users of this extension! Let us be free of our choice, of our nothing!

A user who had almost nothing to do for 10 mins...

I laught so much with all the nonsense comments and also this magnificent extension that does nothing, but I can see its been made with alot of passion,sense of humor and imagination, just like all of your extensions. Thanks Peter for all the contribution you have made to the community. Excellent kharma.
Owner's reply

Thanks. You laughed: mission accomplished!

Seriously, by the time I realised this very techy app did not actually do anything, it was too late. It was already doing something. Like making me laugh and my son - and that‘s something - and cutting into my web development time. So now as it seems I cannot get it to do what it is supposed to do – nothing, in fairness I need to get a refund. Trouble is I got the free version one so what to do about the refund. What? Nothng?
Owner's reply

I am so sorry about this. I have my team of Leprechauns working as hard as possible on this issue. I think you will find that you won't be laughing at all when the next version is released. If so, I will refund your free version in full.

Overall pretty good, I did have an issue however when part of a CSS file began leaking olive oil from the featured page on my website. A customer complained it clogged up his keyboard pretty badly. I tracked it down to What? Nothing! So, after a quick phone call to the company (thanks for that Kate, and for the other thing too :)) I was quickly sent a beta copy of 9.1.1 which stopped the leak. This was the only issue which stopped me giving this extension the full 5 stars, otherwise it's perfect!
Owner's reply

Thanks for the review. Indeed, the 9.1.1 version (still in development at this time) should solve most to all emergencies.

This extension really should change it's name to something.

Because I figured out it's now become a great detective analysing tool in something. Like for inexperienced users without the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. And some other things too.

Besides this, the extension gets people confused, which is good and something that should not be underestimated.

A hard lesson in live to invest time in something and realise it lead to nothing. But to call that realisation nothing? How can it be nothing when it's definitely something?

Thanks to NoNumber for nothing but excellent! something!

P.S. I would really like to win something with this excellent! review (like a life time subscription to what! something? ).
Owner's reply

Ah, but nothing isn't in no way not the opposite of the absence of not something. I don't get the feeling you don't misunderstand that (or anything not at all the same as this) at all, isn't that incorrect? No? Yes? I didn't think so!

I can reward your review with nothing, but only this time.

All hail the mighty developer for developing this super cool extension!

This should be included in Joomla core extension by default.

Thank you for your effort. 5 star.
Owner's reply

It has been an uphill battle trying to get this into Joomla core. Apparently the is "no ask for something that does nothing". I can't believe they don't see the potential this doesn't have!

I was struggling to complete a major web development project for my largest client. I spent days pouring through the JED to find all the plugins I needed, but just couldn't seem to win. Then I came across this little gem from NoNumber. It solved EVERY outstanding issue I had. Not only did it do that, but it helped my site look better and gave it a pleasing aroma! Who would have thought that one tiny extension could do all that? As an added bonus, it gave me more self esteem and helped me meet a beautiful woman. Thanks, Peter!!!
Owner's reply

I am very happy for you that you have found love again.

About that aroma: do remember to update this extension regularly, as the smell does dissipate and can even turn into a sour fishy odor.
And that can repel beautiful women.

Don't waste your time trying to figure this plugin out. It doesn't do anything. No. Seriously!!! NOTHING. I wasted too time trying to figure out what the purpose of this plugin was because of the reviews, i figured it would be worth looking into. Haha, i get the joke, i'm laughing hysterically. Now can i be refunded my time?
Owner's reply

So you see an extension called "What? Nothing!". You read the description which clearly tells you it does absolutely nothing. You go on to read the reviews which praise it for doing nothing (and very well and effectively, I might add).
Yet somehow you conclude from this that it must do something. And you invest time to find out what this unmentioned functionality must be.

I am intrigued by the thought process behind this. There must be a philosophy out there to explain this unjustified expectation. This craving to find meaning and reason. Is it hope? Is it believes? Is this a religious debate?

Anyway, I digress.

So I rate your:
- ability to read: 5 stars
- ability to understand/comprehend: 1 star
- sense of humour: 1 star
- dedication: 5 stars
An average of 3 stars... not bad, not bad at all.

And what does this all explain about the truth and reality being subordinates of our society? Probably... nothing!

I was really impressed with the quality of the extension, it's rare to find extensions that work so seamlessly and unobstrusively.

After a few days of playing with it, I must add, since I still had no idea how it could work so nicely, I went and looked at the source. Seldom have I seen such perfection in code, I guess this (very mature) version 7.7.7 will require few to no updates in the future.

A must for all power users!
Owner's reply

Thank you very much. It means a lot to me to hear praises about the code quality. As you might have guessed, a lot of time has gone into perfecting the code. People say code can't be perfect. But it's pretty close if I may say so myself. If I may not say so, then it's not.

At first I was a bit sceptic about this extension. Was afraid it wouldn't meet the expected requirements. But now with the improved functionality it does exactly what I want. Nothing... and even several times.

Respect for NoNumber to create an extension like this one.
Owner's reply

I fully understand.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without it by my side.
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how could I go wrong.
And I grew strong and I learned how to code all night long.

I was using this extension for a long time.
But I must say the performance has speeded up, more than the developer claims. I measured a 20% improvement in the latest release.
But it is as he says "may vary per server/setup"
Owner's reply

I am sorry. The new version should reduce that speed improvement to 0% again.

This is the best Joomla plugin I've ever seen. The developer is just a super human being! It's not possible for a mere human to develop such an excellent plugin. This will go with every Joomla site I'm gonna build :D

I really like this plugin since it does exactly what i want.
I fancy the options in this plugin and would have bought it if it wasnt free.

Looking forward to future features.

Recommended to my friends, it's a must have!
Keep up the good work!
Owner's reply

I strongly recommend the Pro version. The added features aren't countless.

Does only one thing, but does it very well. I figured out how to use it easily enough but I'm sure less advanced users would appreciate a demo. Can't wait to see what features you come with for the next release!

i spent half an hour reading up on this plugin to find out what it did and started driving myself crazy!

Unbelievable! I was expecting more out of this extension, but I got so little - that I was overly impressed! In fact, I wasn't expecting so little from such a great componant.

If you are looking to do a lot less... then you definately need to get this extension... it is probably the least than you ever imagined!
Owner's reply

I will keep working to offer you less and less.
