ExpressionEngine 2 Add-on Plans
Published on 2nd May, 2010 by Stephen Lewis
Over the past few weeks I’ve received a number of emails asking if and when my ExpressionEngine add-ons will be ported to EE 2.
The following table lists my current plans for each add-on, along with some explanatory notes, where necessary. Add-ons are listed in order of priority.
You’ll notice that there are no projected release dates for any of the add-ons.
My experiences to date suggest that development will take much longer than I either hope or anticipate. There’s little point in me throwing out arbitrary deadlines, and shuffling my feet awkwardly when they fly by; each add-on will be released when it’s done to a standard with which I am happy.
| Add-on | Converting? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SmartDown | Done | |
| MailChimp Subscribe | ||
| Campaigner | Yes | Free upgrade for existing Campaigner customers. |
| BucketList | Yes | Free upgrade for existing BucketList customers. |
| SL Combinator | Yes | |
| SL Developer Info | Yes | Will probably be re-written as an Accessory. |
| SL Field Formatting | Not possible | A quick scout through the EE 2 codebase suggests that the extension hooks required to implement SL Field Formatting have not (yet) been implemented. |
| DropDate | Undecided | |
| SL Comment Redirect | Undecided | |
| SL Google Map | Undecided | I’ve made no secret of the fact that the next version of SL Google Map is likely to be a commercial release. Implementing multiple locations per map, aggregate maps, directions, and many of the other frequently-requested features is a lot of work, and I would need to cover at least some of my costs. The release of MX Google Map makes this a far less viable proposition. |
| Speakeasy | Undecided | |
| Deniro | Unlikely |
If I haven’t yet committed to converting an add-on upon which you rely, please let me know. Your heartfelt plea may not change my mind, but at the very least it will give me an overwhelming sense of power.
