Dreamlander Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Can you resolve in future versions of your products the compatibility issue of the old hooks and addons?This is the main reason I don't want to upgrade to the latest version of the your products.I have lots of hooks/modifications some purchased,others free.Some of the hooks are not being developed/updated anymore and this will be a huge lost in my board functionality, not mentioning skins.So,instead of developing new versions maybe you can think first for a system that can support also old versions of hooks/addons etc.Kind regards!

Im not sure it would even be possible to marry the old framework with the new, the changes are simply too significant. If upgrading isn't an option due to the add ons/modifications etc it may be worth contacting the developers for their eta on versions compatible with suite 4. Certainly the ones I have contacted have been very helpful.In terms of IF it is possible to match the old framework with the new, I wouldn't be holding your breath. I simply think its impossible to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamlander Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 The framework for IPS Suite 4 is a complete re-write and there is no way of the old hooks working.It could be an idea making a tool for converting the old hooks code to be compatible with the new framework.

Nathan Explosion Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hypothetical scenario question for you, based on that idea:'Person A' buys IPB 3.4.8'Person B' develops a paid hook for 3.4.8'Person A' buys that hook and installs it.'Person A' upgrades to 4.0.x and hook no longer works.'Person A' uses that tool to convert the hook for use on 4.0.xHook doesn't work, and 'Person A' gets irate and seeks support.'Person B' advises that hook hasn't been upgraded for use on 4.0.x yet.Who provides the support? IPB as the developer of the conversion tool, 'Person B' as the developer of the hook, or 'Person A' as the converter of the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
