Monetary Shop in V6?

[Doc Ock]

Just a quick question. I know its no longer supported by Peter but will the monetary plug-ins still function in V6?

I use it for some rather pivotal things on my forum.

Thanks!

Doc Ock, sorry that information is not known as this time. Some plugins may still work with our new update, while most will probably need some small updates.

I definitely hope it will be, but it's up to the developer. He would have to rewrite over 100,000 lines of code. Further, if he does recreate the shop, it is also not yet known whether or not all current shop data will carry over. Let's cross our fingers though!

For whatever it's worth: it is highly, highly unlikely that Peter will rewrite his codes for v6. I won't speak in definites because it is ultimately his choice, but he has been busy lately in a way that has led his interests / focus to a different genre of programming and is unlikely to update any of his content.

That said, that doesn't necessarily mean that no one will tackle the task of making such a plug-in. The plug-in for v5 is open source and available on Peter's github, so if someone decides to take on that project and use his v5 code as building blocks, that is an option as well.

Oh no. I wonder if someone will carry it on.

Kami,

That's definitely true and something we should consider.


Dustys,

One positive I see is that there's still a lot of time for forum owners and developers to decide what they want to do regarding everything that might not carry over. It's not like there will be a forced upgrade without any notice.
