Not clear which modules are deprecated #3829

Closed orchardbot closed 9 years ago

When in the admin Module selection screen, all modules seem equal, there is no indication to the end user.

There is no indication that lists, media, mediapicker and rules are deprecated. Possible solution: add the word deprecated to the module.txt FeatureDescription: Deprecated: A basic container-enabled content type.

Good idea! I'd also prefix the module name with deprecated. It's ugly but worth it to prevent anybody new from using those modules.

Changing a module's name: bad, bad, bad idea. This will make all the tables invalid. Welcome back :)

Or you meant the pretty name? If so, then yes, why not, although I'd prefer one marker, and the UI to render a prefix depending on it, rather than change the pretty name in the manifest.

@Piedone commented:

Yes, I meant just the name written in the Module.txt.

Maybe first start with the description?

I do like the idea for the marker, so the dashboard can display additional information about the use of deprecated modules.

How to proceed here? I think it is a small things with a huge impact for people who are new to Orchard.

Piedone commented 9 years ago

So how about just prefixing the display name of those modules and their features with "Deprecated - " that are deprecated? And prefix their description with "See documentation for deprecation information."

sfmskywalker commented 9 years ago

I was thinking the same.

thekaveman commented 9 years ago

Could also change the Category, so they are all grouped together in the Modules screen.

sfmskywalker commented 9 years ago

Even better.

abhishekluv commented 9 years ago

Good idea.

thekaveman commented 9 years ago

Is this the complete list?

Piedone commented 9 years ago

I think yes.

sfmskywalker commented 9 years ago

This will be solved as part of #5271.
