3rd party tools missing in the repo? #186

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Hi Michael,

I went to update today and noticed the 3rd party fields are not in the download or enqueued any more. Can you please advise what has happened to them?

Hi Ciaran,

I think you mean the files of custom field types which were in the third-party directory. Most of them were removed and are now available as the Field Type Pack add-on. A few of them have been moved to the example/library/ directory. You can still use the files included in the previous version though.

Thank you for the clarification Michael. So the framework addons are now a commercial product? How does this affect the custom fields we already have in the previous version that we are building into a theme?

michaeluno commented 9 years ago

If you included the files in your distribution package, you are fine and your theme should not be affected by anything. Are you having an issue with this change?

ghost commented 9 years ago

No issue at all mate, am happy you made the decision to recoup the money based on development. My only thoughts are does this mean it will cost me $300 for future development on my themes or plugins, and is that unlimited themes and plugins? Will this cover future additions to the field type package?

I would be more than happy to pay this if that is so.

That's right except that you can receive updates up to 1 year from the date of purchase even with the unlimited license type. So if I add a new field type to the add-on after your license is expired, you won't have access to it unless you renew the license. Though this does not mean that your products become unable to operate after the license expiration unless a version incompatibility issue arises.

That is kind of what my worry is that version incompatibility arrises due to the framework no longer supporting older versions of the addons. However, I have plenty faith in what you develop anyway.

Thank you. That's nice of you to say. If you don't use the framework loader plugin but the renamed version of the minified version, you don't have to worry about version incompatibility though.
