Track and suggest alternatives? #11

Open laryn opened 3 years ago

laryn commented 3 years ago

For consideration: if a particular module is not ported to Backdrop but there is a comparable alternative, should we make that suggestion?

e.g.

in_field_labels => compact_forms
scroll_to_destination_anchors => smooth_scroll

Just for clarity, this is different than a module that had a name change -- it's information about/a recommendation for a completely different but similar module.

It seems like providing that data would be helpful. But, I imagine it might also be a bit more subjective and difficult to maintain. Hoping that is not the case.

Even if we can't provide all alternatives, providing some would be better than providing none, I think.

I would like to see a list of recommended alternatives. We could include a massive array somewhere, and allow any number of alternatives to be added for each one (so it wouldn't be so subjective, there could be lots of options)

I just merged the functionality from Image style flush into the Image styles admin module (part of Image Effects). https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/image_effects/issues/14
