Lack of system requirements in the repository has been my favourite whinge for literally years. I am very dissapointed that neither Xoops.org or the new add-ons site have really addressed the issue. As more commercial web hosts upgrade PHP next year, the chance of finding a module that works will be even harder.
The lack of an attribute search feature in the downloads software makes finding PHP 5 compatible modules impossible even when the developer has been gracious enough to provide a proper spec.
If it's of any help, following
my post in March 2005 there are some PHP 5 compatible modules listed at the end of the thread. Also, I recall the user
artigas tested quite a few modules and posted the results, but it would take some digging to compile a definitive list.
I always believed there should be two top-level categories in the module repository - 'Supported' and 'Un-supported'. To get your module listed in the supported category the dev has to provide a full spec. No spec?... then your module goes in the unsupported category with all the old, dodgy modules.
It'll never happen.
A thread is for life. Not just for Christmas.
