Upgrade 1.8
Hi, I'm currently developing a site using the Form plugin (I really like the flexibility it offers).
I started with Elgg 1.7.8, but concluded that 1.8 would be a much better starting point. For example to use "elgg_view_form".
Is there an upgrade that is compatible with 1.8? I now get many messages about use of deprecated functions.

You must log in to post replies.Elgg 1.8 is still on beta. I would recommend to stick with 1.7.8 till it comes out. A lot of things changed on 1.8 so wait.

Bart,
I'll be completely rewriting the form plugin for Elgg 1.8 this summer, and hopefully adding an improved drag and drop interface.
It won't be ready for a few months yet.
Thanks for your quick reply.
Developing against 1.7.8 now means a lot of rework later with 1.8. And also implementing workarounds now for things that are much better in 1.8.
I'll work with some dummy code to later integrate the form module properly.
Hi,
I replaced some Elgg function calls and did some debugging and got the Form module working with Elgg 1.8 now. Should be good enough for further development.
Do you want the updated version?
Grt!
Hi Bart,
I'm really going to rewrite everything to make it an even better plugin, so I don't need a patched version right now.
I'm glad that you got it working quickly though!

Hi Kevin, I'm looking forward to an even better version of your nice Form module.
Grt, Bart
@sumank
