Thanks, Anirup! I took the liberty of moving this to the 1.8 group, since it's so relevant.
How much work would you say it was to get these plugins compatible with 1.8?
I didn't measure the amount of work I had to put into :-P
Understandable, but some kind of ballpark estimate would still be helpful I think! Was it more like 1 hour, 8 hours, or 40 hours to update all of them? more?
well among the 8 plugins feeds,polls and event calendar are the ones which I upgraded from elgg 1.7.
Event_calendar took some time 4 hours because I had to through all the code and when I was upgrading(quite some time back) a deprecated function was missing from the deprecated-1.8 file which caused a WSOD and I wasted quite some time debugging it.It was later fixed once I reported to the trac.
Polls and the feeds were quite easy to fix.For polls I changed the layout and removed the deprecated functions.
Feeds was even more easy as it mostly contained mostly script stuff.
The other 5 I wrote from scratch.Like though worldview and games can be found in repository,I didn't like their implementation.For example in worldview I made the search ajaxed and instant so it became much more user friendly.So it took variable amount of time depending upon the number of lines to code.
One plugin that I am developing is socialupdate and it would be nice if someone gives a feedback.
http://sync.heybuddy.in/socialupdate/fbupdates or http://sync.heybuddy.in/socialupdate/tweetupdates
One would need to register with either twitter or facebook.This is an open request.
@anirup - Awesome...thanks!
@Brett -
Anirup's good at this Elgg stuff ain't he ;-)
I'm having a ball of a time here over all those PlugIns @ 1.8 !
I reckon he's putting the "aww.." back into "awesome" for Elgg ;-oO
Regards,
Thanks everyone
[Removed for being off topic]
Someone have already think about a plugin for customizing the profile field ? Like the plugin "Profile Manager" for 1.7 but compatible with 1.8
