..and it is not a matter of FUD from the ImpressCMS camp

I don't aprreciate this kind of insinuations coming out of a community that has never showed any support to the modules WF-Links and MyTube.

Remember, ghia, that these modules have strongly been supported by people that at the moment are active in the ImpressCMS community. These people also supported these modules very well before the fork was started.

As you see the announcemount was posted appr. 1 month ago and so far no support coming from here.

And stop with that Mamba-attitude, because it's harming XOOPS more than you might think.

I thought it was an announcement. Didn't realise you wanted support. What's the problem exactly?

I'm sorry, it was somewhat over the top, in order to provoke you to reply on this. It was a a naughty question, but I didn't mean it!
And give Mamba some time, he will turn around! Did you noticed we may already write ImpressCMS in full?

But now to the point: The nature and cause of this incompatibility. Because making a big announcement and giving no more information on what or how, isn't very helpful. When some people report no problems, it makes me wonder and it seems to me the incompatibility is small or already resolved in the latest 2.3.1?
Are you referring to the deprecated messages or is there something else?

Thank you for the WF-Links module, which I use also and plan to continue using after the upgrade.

Comparing xoopstree.php with the old one I do not see backward incompatibilities. You only get the deprecated message, nothing else.

WF-links was tested and it is working with no problems in 2.3

So, the question is does it or does it not influence in any way the program flow?

It seems nidos may have still some problem (but not necessary with 2.3.x):

I'm still using wf-links 1.03 too - seems okay with 2.3.1 but I haven't had to use it in anger yet and I haven't changed/altered/added any links since upgrading to XOOPS 2.3.x


It's strongly advised to upgrade to latest version (1.06), because of security fixes, fixed bugs, etc.
Example. With versions prior to 1.06 alternative category entries were not deleted from the table altcat. This resulted in redundant table entries and wrong page calculations.
Also later versions give you more features like printing, autoscreen, Google Pagerank and the possiblity to use it as a business-directory.

scare people, i don't see it like that.

i have seen comments from people saying that some modules do not work on XOOPS 2.3 because there are some changes that have been made which can break compatibility with XOOPS 2.0 modules. and if you think that is scaremongering, then i think you are also holding a huge grudge towards them, and in which case you can't offer an unbiased opinion about them.

so what are the changes from XOOPS 2.0.x and 2.3.1? there is no information at all. module developers are having to do trial and error.

there is differences YES. for 1 instance. in XOOPS 2.0, mail was using function &getMailer() but in 2.3 this function was renamed to xoops_getMailer()

that 1 simple change is enough to break compatibility because unless the module developer changes references to that in his modules, then mail system of the module will not work.

without proper information on changes like that, how do developers know what to do and what to look out for?

i can see their anger over there, and i can also see their point to an extent. It WAS promised by XOOPS devs that ALL modules that currently work with XOOPS 2.0.18 will work with XOOPS 2.3, but that isn't true, because clearly they don't all work.

Sorry - I don't recall seeing that. Can you direct me/us to that?

I do remember seeing phrases like "most modules should work okay but we can't be certain" and "as this is a stepping stone to XOOPS 3.0, some modules may need modifying" and "all modules written for XOOPS 2.3.x will work with XOOPS 3.0", but I don't recall it in such cast-iron terms as you descibe for the XOOPS 2.0.x to XOOPS 2.3.x transition.

Not having a go - I'm genuinely interested as what you say would be quite a claim for the dev crew to make
