Hello!

I know that some of you will be mad with me, but I spend a lot of time thinking about it, and I decided on it. It is being a lot of fun to create and maintain this plugin over the last few years. Its first release was on Mar 3, 2017, and since then it is getting improved and receiving a lot of contribution from the community, and I do appreciate it.

In the beginning, the plugin used to be closed and paid, then, after some time I decided to make it free and opensource. But, it wasn't being enough, I was needing to spending some time replying to issues, fixing some bugs, in general, maintaining the project, and TBH I'm not using OctoberCMS anymore - wait, I still thinking that it is great. I'm just saying it, 'cause my working focus changed during the last 3 years.

But I felt that I still want to give back something to the community, mainly 'cause I think that OctoberCMS provide such a great environment, and I would like to help it somehow.

So, I'm making this plugin paid again. But, ONLY if you install it from the OctoberCMS marketplace. The plugin's license still the same and it still allows you to use it on commercial projects, or fork and create your version of it. It only means that, if you want to use the easy way to install it, by the OctoberCMS marketplace, you should buy it - in this case, you will be contributing with both, OctoberCMS and also my jobs.

If you want to use its free version, the only way to do it is to install it from this GitHub repository. And It is an easy, very easy thing to do.

Also, it costs only $5, which is the lowest value accepted by the OctoberCMS market place. It is pretty acceptable, and keep in mind that it will help me to keep updating this plugin, and also other plugins that I'm planning to develop. As well, 30% of every sale is "by default" sent to OctoberCMS, and it will help them.

I have no idea how it will work, and I can change it in the future. But, please, let me know in the comments what to do you think about my decision.

Of course, you also can support me on Patreon - and it is really helpful.

Thank you all.

Hi, @imjar

I actually have a issue to document this process, but I didn't have time to work on it, 'cause last month I was fighting with OctoberCMS "migration" to Laravel 6... that happened, then they decided to rollback to Laravel 5, and it caused several issues for me.

I can assure you that it isn't a complicated step. You could try to follow my instructions on this post.
