Craft 5 #47

Question

Is this plugin compatible with Craft5 ?

cheers, Peter

khalwat commented 6 months ago

Not yet, no. It's on the list tho!

hcaandersen commented 4 months ago

Is it possible to get a progress update on this? This plug-in is the only thing preventing us from upgrading to Craft5.

khalwat commented 4 months ago

Should be done shortly, within the next month or so. It should be a very straightforward port.

hcaandersen commented 4 months ago

That's brilliant! Thank you very much!

After looking into porting this plugin to Craft 5, I decided to end up deprecating it.

But it's not because I didn't want to port it, it's because it's not needed.

The functionality this plugin provides is entirely possible to do with native Craft, without the need for this plugin at all.

I wrote a whole article on the subject (which probably took longer to do than the port would have, ironically):

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to help @hcaandersen
