This gives a brief overview of extensions provided by third parties
(exluding the ones available directly via MD's extension download menu)
see here for description of those

Most of the extensions listed below are not directly supported by Moneydance/The Infinite Kind and therefore come without warrenty and further help in installing and using- i.e. these extensions are written and build by third parties, that means they are not offical ones
Additionally these extensions are not signed by the Moneydance developer, so you always get a warning message while installing - this is a security mechanism; keep in mind that you have to trust the extension's programmer that his piece of software does not harm your valuable financial data or your privacy
for support please get in contact with the extensions' author - normally MD support team cannot/won't help you

Date: 27. Sept 2011
for several extensions a specific version (and maybe distribution) of JVM is needed, same for some java libraries (jcommons, jgraph, jfreecharts, ...), or even MD build.

compiled extension; using JDK Sun Java 1.6 - targeting Java 1.5, using jfreechart-1.0.12/jcommon-1.0.15; modified to coexitst with original Balance Predictor; USE AT OWN RISK

please be very cautious with the Balance Predictor extension I compiled - once installed it may cause problems when starting MD with another (an older) JVM
found that out trying to start MD with Sun Java 1.5 instead of 1.6 which resulted in stall right after splashscreen

In that case you need to find MD's preference folder (.moneydance) and remove the extension from subfolder fmodules...

        Even though it's really made for my own use, I thought I'd make the utility I mentioned above available online in case anyone else would like to try it out. I find it quite useful for comparing my expenses over various intervals of time. You can download it at:
        http://www.thoughtstack.com/timeseries.mxt.zip
        It will display a warning since I haven't received an official MD key. It doesn't modify your data at all or communicate over the network, but I'd still backup your data before you try it out and, if you're not trusting, disconnect your computer from the network to ensure there's no spyware. Lastly, although bug reports, comments and feedback are welcome, keep in mind that I've built this for primarily for my own use so your mileage may vary.

        g, I'm perfectly willing to share the source code as open source if others are interested and willing to improve on it. As I mentioned, it was a quick and dirty program I wrote in a few hours (most of which spent trying to understand the MD API which is a bit aged). If there's interest, I can set up a Google Code project or SourceForge project.

        I'd be very interested in helping out with the code. I am pretty new to the scripting language, but deeply interested in making your extension even more useful. What you've done is great, but I'd love to add some subtotals and also see why not all of my categories are getting pulled into the report (i.e. income accounts). I'd also love to add some kind of export funcitionality.
        Great work though! Let's see if we can find a way to make your work even better!

        sean, I would appreciate that. I do understand quick and dirty. I wrote a quick extension when converting my data from Quicken in order to properly match the "other side" of foreign transactions.
        It would be nice if there were a common place to share source code for moneydance extensions. I didn't know where to put it, so I just zipped it up and posted it in the Yahoo Group.
        When you do get a chance to post the code, please let me know.
        Thanks!

            What is happening with this extension?

        Hi Andy,

        I've decided to make this extension available for free. You can download a version that will not expire from:

        http://www.claritytools.com/openminds/AccountAssigner.mxt

        If for some reason your computer saves it as AccountAssigner.mxt.zip, just

        rename the file to AccountAssigner.mxt

        For those who are not familiar with this extension yet: It allows you to automatically assign downloaded bank transactions to their correct accounts.

        You do this by setting up rules that look for certain pieces of text in the transaction's description (memo field). For example, you could set up a rule that assigns any transaction that contains the word "BANK" to the account Bank Charges, but not if it also contains the word "TRANSFER". Thus, the transactions "BANK COST" and "BANK FEE" would both be assigned to the account Bank Charges, but not the transaction "BANK TRANSFER TO X". This rule would read as follows: "If (Memo includes text 'BANK') AND (NOT Memo includes text 'TRANSFER'), then set the account to 'Bank Charges'."

        Installation Instructions:

        *

        1. Download the AccountAssigner.mxt file to your computer.

        2. Start Moneydance.

        3. Click on the menu "Extensions" > "Add..."

        4. Select "From File".

        5. Click "Choose File" and select the AccountAssigner.mxt file on

        your computer.

        6. Click "Next >>".

        7. Click "Finish".

Description (from Moneydance mailinglist):

        Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:18:24 -0400
        Subject: [moneydance] New plugin - Downloaded CSV Importer
        Hi all,
        I would like to announce a new plug-in for importing CSV files.
        It differs from the standard "Text File Importer" plug-in, in that my
        plug-in is meant to be used for transactions downloaded from financial
        institutions, so they are registered as downloaded transactions that you can
        match or access individually while adjusting any relevant
        category/description/payee fields. For example, in Canada, Citibank credit
        card statements can be downloaded only in CSV format. The plugin has been
        optimised to be used in this scenario, of regularly downloading and adding
        additional transactions.
        In contrast existing "Text File Importer" is meant to import whole accounts,
        registering each transaction automatically, and not attempting to assign
        proper categories etc.
        Please note that I have optimised the imported for the Citibank file format.
        If you work with a different bank of CSV format, I am very eager to extend
        the plugin to use different formats. I simply lack the test data to try for
        varying formats.
        The plugin is free. It is currently in beta. It can be obtained here:
        <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mdcsvimporter/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/mdcsvimporter/</a>

        Reply #9 - Apr 5th, 2008, 2:32pm Quote 
        I created a simple extension to get the cash flow forecast that I want.
        It does the following:
        1. Get current balance from account prior to current date.
        2. Get list of past due non-acknowledged reminders (getPastDueDates).
        3. Get all future transactions (including current date) that have already been entered in the account.
        4. Get list of future reminders, being sure not to double-count a reminder for the future if it has already been entered in the register (hasBeenAcknowledgedInt).
        The extension then saves all these txns to a .csv file including date, description, and amount.  I then copy this data into an OpenOffice spreadsheet that let's me see a running daily balance and a nice chart for cash flow.  Would be great if the built-in Balance Predictor extension did this.
        My extension also overcomes the problems with the Reminder Calendar on the Home Page, which has several bugs.  See trac 579: <a href="http://moneydance.com/trac/ticket/579" rel="nofollow">http://moneydance.com/trac/ticket/579</a>
        Currently the Account name is hard-coded and forecast fixed at 90 days.

        rlwinter, I posted my extension on the Yahoo group:
        <a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/moneydance/files/Extensions/" rel="nofollow">http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mo...</a>
        It is the file ForecastWindow.java
        Much more could be done with this code, but for now it simply generates a string buffer of transactions, shows them in a window, and lets you save them to a .csv file for graphing in your favorite spreadsheet program.

-so could you please state which extensions you're having problems with and what you've tried/how you tried to install? What error messages do you get?

You also need to mention MD version, Java version, OS, ...

You need to download and install these extension manually (the *.mxt file)
This doesn't refer to the few extension available inside MD via "Extensions ... Internet"

          1) download (as binary) and extract when needed  
          2) check that you really got the compiled extension, not source code  
          3) use MD menu "Extensions/Install/File"

Yep, I think I'm doing it right. Here are two that don't work for example:

        1. timeseries.mxt installs OK but when I try to run it from the menu I get the error java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception: 4
        2. portfolioallocation-0.1.mxt downloads OK but when I try to install it I get the error java.lang.NullPointerException
        I am running OS X 10.5.6 on a PowerBook G4 (PowerPC).

1) you're right, extension doesn't work with MD 2008 (631) or MD 2007 (587) using SUN JVM build 1.6.0_11-b03 anymore;
2) I presume you need to rename the extension to "portfolioallocation.mxt" without version number - this one definitely works for me (removing version number in name is also needed for several other extensions)

I renamed portfolioallocation.mxt as you suggested and now I get a different error when installing:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

Could you please add a comment to your last reply and write down
which MD version+build you are using, what the java version/vendor is?
"Help Menu, About Moneydance"

As I don't see this error we probably have to ask Sean for an explanation and/or the extension's developer Russ Garrett
Update: Looks like this extension in version 0.1 needs Java 6 to run (the version it is compiled with) which is normally not provided by Mac OS X
Sorry that I can't help you further...
for timeseries.mxt I'll look into the sourcecode to see if there is a hardcoded date, etc.

              MD build 2008r3 (631)
        Java Version: 1.5.0_16
        Java Vendor: Apple Inc.

even more explanation
http://getsatisfaction.com/theinfinitekind/topics/portfolio_allocat...

please read this if you want to get Java 1.6 on Mac OS X 10.4
http://vegdave.wordpress.com/2007/10/13/java-se-6-mac-os-x-binary/

Note to Sean and myself... creating a wiki article would be great http://moneydance.com/trac/wiki/, or adding another page to MD's help files

Raimund, I was using the compiled extension of Enhanced Balance Predictor you have posted on http://moneydance.com/trac/ticket/1755.  
Unfortunately, the extension has some errors in the chart since the transactions aren't order by date.  
However, in the same page, johndolljr added a java code correcting the problem, but he didn't add the compiled version.  
Is that possible for you to compile it and add in the same site?
