fabrik Remove unsupported/never supported plugins from the repo

I wonder if we should remove them from the repo so users won't try and install them not think we might work on them.

Yes, I think we should remove the never supported ones. Certainly the ones that don't work on J!3.

I'd like to push up the form's log plugin. The new one made by Hugh. Although it has a bug not allowing the others plugin to run after it. Specially if there is an onAfterProcess php plugin "after" (in the form's plugins list) the log plugin. But knowing this I used it a lot on J3/F3 site without problems. I've never used the ones left blank in the wiki list of plugins. So it'll be ok for me to remove them.

I'd like to keep them except the ones definitively not working in F3. There may be 'useful' ones we didn't touch until now (e.g. tags element or article form) because WE don't use them but they may be used in other F3 applications.

But If a user wants to use and test one of the "blank" plugins they should first test if it's running on F3/php8 give exact setup of all parameters give exact error descriptions (or confirm that it's working)

Yes, you are right.

Element: attending, button, rating spotify, youtube Form: confirmation List: download Visualization: calendar, fusion_gant_chart

What about system\fabrikj2store and community\fabrik ? Do we need search\fabrik ?

Nov 01 '22 11:11 joomlahenk

Do we know if they do not work in F3?

Nov 01 '22 12:11 skurvish

I never tried

Nov 01 '22 12:11 joomlahenk

j2store did, I tried it some time. AFAIK community is a link to community builder which was also used. But I don't know if they are php7/8 ready etc. I would keep the code in GitHub in case someone wants to test. But I wouldn't include in the packages.

I would definitely keep "button" element and search\fabrik plugin.

Hello guys. Community Builder is a must have!

I've just installed CB 2.8 on J!4 and it works perfectly.

Perhaps you would like to test it and get it working?

@zmtk-josecardoso:

The F3 CB plugin is outdated since long. But, also since long, there is absolutely no need for it anymore. Fabrik's content plugin works in CB, and vice versa. Fabrik's placeholders work in CB and, vice versa, CB's substitutions work in Fabrik. This is giving you maximum flexibility to let you do what you need without depending on any "special" plugin.

(Note: as usual, you'll need to enable "prepare content" or "process Joomla plugins" or whatever else it might be called in other cases.)

So, no reason at all anymore for any CB-related plugin in Fabrik.
