Craft 5 Compatibility

[hmcleek]

Is there a timeline for upgrading this plugin to Craft 5?

[timmyomahony]

On the way, hopefully in June. Apologies for lack of responses to date, more consistent dev will be happening again this month.

Very exciting to hear!

Just checking back in on this. Any update on Craft 5 timeline? This plugin looks like exactly what I need for our longform content Matrix fields. Thanks!

Hi @jacobgraf I've started development on it now, but there have been significant changes to the underlying Matrix Field in Craft 5 so it's taking a bit longer than anticipated. I'm excited to get the next version up and running though so there will hopefully be a beta version in the next couple of weeks

@timmyomahony Awesome and thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks for everyone's patience on this and apologies for the delay. I've released an initial Craft 5 version of the plugin now, version 5.0.0.

There are two important caveats to be aware of before upgrading:

1. When updating to this version, your old titles, descriptions and images from the Craft 4 version will be deleted and need to be re-entered. This is unfortunately due to the changes in the underlying matrix field from Craft 4 to 5 (specifically the migration from "block types" to "entry types").
2. At the moment, the plugin will only work with the "block" view for matrix fields, not the new "card" or "element index" view. I'll be adding for these views ASAP, but they require some changes on the Craft codebase side to be able to hook into their JavaScript behavior.

Please let me know of any issues encountered.

Congrats on getting this out the door. I'm excited to use it.

Hi, thanks for continuing to work on this plugin and getting a Craft 5 release ready. When upgrading one of our client's sites to Craft 5, on my local version, running php craft up produces an error when applying the appropriate migration. I've attached the stack trace below, let me know if you require any further input from me.
