[2.3] Extras Compatibility

[exside]

I think it would be good to collect working and more important not-yet-working extras in one place (maybe for the release note?) as more and more are reported.

As far as I can tell, most not-working extras are affected by the connector nuking that happened in 2.3, so they don't find the appropriate processors anymore and thus do not work anymore. Another quite commonly observed issue is the use of the depreciated $modx->getMicrotime() method in extras. Just replacing it with PHP's native function microtime(true) fixes this problem.

I suggest commenting (including version info) about successfully and not successfully tested extras in this issue and a I will update the following list.

[pixelchutes]

Great idea!

I've updated the post with a few I know to be working as expected. I'm pretty sure getResources and Wayfinder are also covered, but would love other feedback (especially more advanced use cases) since they are pretty critical add-ons for most.

[goldsky]

GridClassKey has been fixed

[exside]

thanks guys, @pixelchutes: perfect, even better if you can do it directly =)! what about the two now checked extras in the "needs confirmation" section, do they fully work and should be moved up?

[ghost]

As far as I can tell, cssSweet, ModxTalks and pdoTools work

[ghost]

siblingNav works fine - doesn't show in the Installer though.

[exside]

thanks @sottwell! list updated...

[ghost]

ClientConfig works

[ghost]

Batcher looks good - at least I didn't see anything not working

[exside]

thanks =)! Updated

[ghost]

CodeMirror works

[ghost]

AdvSearch looks good so far

[ghost]

SiblingNav now visible in the Installer.

[exside]

Thanks @sottwell, updated the list and added a section of working packages not showing up in the package manager.

[ghost]

To repeat, SiblingNav 1.0.2 pl is now visible in the Installer.

[exside]

Ah, sorry, didn't read well =) (took "now" for "not"^^)

[christianseel]

SeoPro by sterc has bugs: Sterc/SEOPro#32

[exside]

@christanseel, thanks for reporting, cannot find it in the 2.3 package manager though, you can? Would you say partially working or not working?

[ghost]

On further examination, it looks like CodeMirror doesn't completely work. Setting it to use for resources causes a white-screen when opening a resource.

Hm. Another try and it's working fine. Must have been a gremlin.

[pixelchutes]

@sottwell anything in the error log?

I've noticed a lot of plugins throwing harmless errors in 2.3, basically any output...easily resolved via a simple return; Not sure if by design? (see Ace issue link above for example)

[christianseel]

@exside I think they disabled it temporarily. Its kind of partially working but main features have bugs. But it doesn't break the manager.

[ghost]

No, no errors. And now when I install it and try it again it seems fine.

[exside]

added seoPro to the list of partially working extras

[theboxer]

Profiler & Tagger are working

[exside]

Thanks @theboxer, list updated!

[the-dunnock]

xBug does not function on 2.3. Building compatible version, just need to keep it backwards compatible also.

[the-dunnock]

xBug 0.7.5 is 2.3 compatible now

[exside]

thanks @the-dunnock, updated!

[SnowCreative]

I'm not sure why you've got ColorPicker 1.0-beta1 listed in the "need testing" area, since you've already got version 1.0.2-rc2 listed in the "compatible" list, and indeed it works fine. Why would anyone use the beta version at this point? Also, Articles 1.7.9 is out but there is no info on its compatibility. I know there is at least one outstanding issue with 1.7.9 (View and Close buttons don't work).

[RobertSK]

Hi there,
has anybody tested Mobile Detection?
Not showing up in package manager.
Will test it with 2.3.2 this weekend.

[goldsky]

#MODX #Babel 3.0.0-beta1 is now available for test.
https://github.com/mikrobi/babel/releases/tag/3.0.0-beta1

I've tested it on 2.2.16 and 2.3.2, but it would be much better if anyone else can help to test it on their fresh and upgrade installation.

It should have been ready for production, but better be precaution.

[electrickite]

Shibboleth 0.4.0 and paramStash 1.3.0 are both working fine in Revo 2.3.1 and 2.3.2

[elz64]

hi,
updated docs for Babel 3? something to do for existing websites?

[goldsky]

Once the new package in is uploaded to extras site, I will update the doc.
The big changes is on manager side.
Some option has been added to BabelLinks, like hiding unlinked context if
no translation is available for particular page.
But that is also revertable if you prefer the old way.

[elz64]

AdvSearch any one ?
I followed this issue fix
#11749

But still a blank frontend page at loading.
Modx log 👍
[2014-12-05 09:43:45](ERROR @ /index.php) [[+landing]] is not a valid integer and may not be passed to makeUrl()

[MacConin]

here it works:
Search page:
[[!AdvSearchForm? &tpl=form.AdvSearch &landing=844 &addJs=0 &addJQuery=0]] [[!AdvSearch]]
and result page
[[!AdvSearch]]

only changed the microtime.

Maybe you're using jquery and AdvSearch doubles that entry in the head?

[elz64]

Thank you
Advsearch double js ..? hmm I'll check this
but I don't see the relationship with +landing placeholder error

2014-12-05 10:10 GMT+01:00 Mac Conin [email protected]:

here it works:
Search page:
[[!AdvSearchForm? &tpl=form.AdvSearch &landing=844 &addJs=0
&addJQuery=0]]
[[!AdvSearch]]
and resultspage
[[!AdvSearch]]

only changed the microtime.

Maybe you're using jquery and AdvSearch doubles that entry in the head?

importX does not work on 2.3.2.

It only imports 2 resources at a time. Is anyone else having that issue too?

[exside]

thanks all, list updated!

@Rainbowtiger: regarding colorpicker extras, I think there are two separate packages with the same name!

[leoandrews]

Does anyone know if any of these work in 2.3?

firstchildredirect 2.3.1-pl
getFeed 1.0.0-pl
phpThumbOf 1.4.0
PHPThumbFilter 0.6.1-rc2
Redirector 1.0.3-pl (newer versions don't work with revo 2.2x)
TinyMCE 4.4.0-pl
Uncacher 0.1.0-pl

[enminc]

pThumb works.... you should not use phpThumbOf anymore....

[MacConin]

firstchildredirect 2.3.1-pl works
also Tinymce

[Gallenkamp]

Did anyone try SlideshowManager yet?
http://modx.com/extras/package/slideshowmanager

[funkyduke]

@Gallenkamp don't use slideshowmanager, create your own slideshow with Migx, much better to control

[Gallenkamp]

SlideshowManager is exactly what clients expect (and so do I). And it is working within 2 minutes.
If we want MODX to become a nerd CMF, ok. But that is not my choice to make. I serve my clients and they need it fast and simple :)

[Nuan8]

Discuss 1.2-pl works with 2.3

[Halfnium]

Am currently using sekFancyBox version 1.03-pl (latest according to Package Manager) with Revo 2.2.14-pl. Looking to upgrade to Revo 2.3.3. Any known issues before I take an upgrade step that might be difficult to reverse?

Noting that it sekFancyBox compatibility was not listed in the original July 4, 2014 posting here, and that this Extra's documentation has not been updated since December 8, 2012, I'm open to suggestions with regard to replacing it.

Thanks!

[jgulledge19]

Databackup 1.1.9-pl works on 2.3 and should now show up in package management. Thanks!

[elz64]

After sending an issue to Rico https://github.com/mikrobi/babel
Babel 3.0 beta3 is mandatory for BabelTranslation snippet to work again once Revo is updated to 2.33 (no issue upto 2.32, but once upgraded to 2.33 all Babeltranslation links vanished). Rico did it fast.

[pyrographics]

ModMobile or Mobile Detection compatible? Neither display in package manager.

[RobertSK]

As far as I remember Mobile Detection works, but you have to make 2-3 changes to the snippet first.
It uses a not longer supportet log function, so you need to comment out or replace that, see MODX Error Log.
I will look into what I did and give more information later today or tomorrow

[pyrographics]

Thanks RobertSK, I'm trying modMobile and it seems to have issues.

[sebastian-marinescu]

imageSlim 1.1.3-pl (new install) is working on 2.3.3

[Mark-H]

I'm going to close this issue as 2.3 has been out for a while now and there are only few extras that have remaining issues. In those cases contacting the author on the github pages is the best way to move forward.

Packages not showing up in the 2.3 package manager can also be resolved by the author of that extra by changing the compatibility status of the package.
