Active or Abandoned? #25

Closed nevsie closed 2 years ago

nevsie commented 2 years ago

While I am seeing no major issues with this field and its functionality... No updates in over 4 years has me worried about using it.

Is it being maintained (if needed)? Will it be converted and suitable for Craft 4 use?

Thanks, Neil

I would support this being a paid plugin if it ensures continued support and an upgrade path for Craft 4.

+1

jamesmacwhite commented 2 years ago

I've had a fork this plugin under Craft 3 due to the lack of Craft 2 -> 3 migration track along with multiline support on certain fields (used in Craft 2). There hasn't been a major update since the Craft 3 port of it, so I'd share similar concerns, especially for Craft 4 support.

I would equally support it being a paid plugin too, I'd have to class this plugin abandoned at the moment though, due to lack of updates and no response from issues/PRs in years.

Wondering about this too, especially as Craft 4 is not far off!

I also have a fork of this plugin which lets me use any fields a normal table supports (dropdown, multiline, color, email, etc). Not a PR because I haven't thorough testing (only using it on my site). Maybe someone can reach out to them and offer to take it over? Would also support it as paid plugin.

We've recently acquired this from the Supercool team. Read our blog post for more details.

I'll take a look at your fork @danbrellis and there's also one pending for https://github.com/verbb/tablemaker/pull/26 once I have we have a change to cleanup things

danbrellis commented 2 years ago

@engram-design this is awesome news. I'll try and submit a PR if it'll make it easier for you to review. Glad to hear this plugin can get some new life!

engram-design commented 2 years ago

@danbrellis No stress if you can't, as I'll likely be doing a full audit for Craft 3 first, then upgrading to Craft 4, so there might be a bunch of stuff changed. But don't let that stop you!

angieherrera commented 2 years ago

Super stoked!

@engram-design Happy to PR some Craft 3 stuff on my fork if required.

Main thing for me was migration handling between Craft 2 to 3

There is also a weird scenario where somehow the fieldtype settings got written as plugin settings in Craft 2, I saw this on a Craft 2 project which has a settings key defined on the plugin, even though it doesn't have any settings

Closing in favour of https://github.com/verbb/tablemaker/issues/27, this is no longer abandoned!
