Question uddeIM on Joomla 4

You can check the repository of Uddeim time to time because the author still update it : github.com/slabbi/uddeIM

Hi,

I can also confirm that I have it since today running on native Joomla 5 without behavior compatibility plugin including Kunena integration

You need to replace all legacy classes

• JFactory to Factory   AND  use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
• JRoute to Route  AND use Joomla\CMS\Router\Route;
• JURI to URI  AND use Joomla\CMS\URI\URI;
• JPagination to \Joomla\CMS\Pagination\Pagination
• JInputFilter to InputFilter  AND use Joomla\CMS\Filter\InputFilter;

Good to know that Slabi is still active. If I only was familiar with github. Then I could report some issues there.

And the unbelievable part is that a found an undocumented and only partially ready uddeim for Joomla 5 there in folder

• uddeIM / _uddeIM5_for_Joomla5_UNSUPPORTED

I could cry as I spent so much time in sorting out all those issues in parallel to Slabi. His version will not work as he misses to update plug_uddeim_contentlink/uddeim_contentlink.php  and also pfrontend.php and attachment.php in premium.

So much double work and no communication is terrible. Either he wants to continue to support or he shall keep his fingers away. Now I am frustrated.

Thanks! Some closed issues discuss J5 in the past month, so he does seem responsive.

 Slabbi is still on board, but the J5 version is created and uploaded by me.
The main component works well as we could fix some errors reported by users.

I'm working on the plugin and premium addon, which will be updated the next days
(contentlink, pfrontend and attachment seems to be ready)

In the moment I try to find a replace for the old Joomla searchHelper::checkNoHTML function
which is used in uddeim_searchbot, but erased in joomla - may be some of you can help ??
thanks
 

Hi,

well that seems too late for me. I have it running. And I do not need Search. As you are surely aware, SmartSearch is mandatory soon. So I switched to SmartSearch already. I also fixed pagination problems on Inbox.

It would have saved me a lot of work and I might even have contributed if you had communicated that someone else is working on it officially. I am not familiar with GitHub but I uploaded one correction there. I received no feedback.

If I look at Uddeim code, I can clearly see a spaghetti code with residues from J1.5 onwards. Makes no sense to keep that and I am sure that you need to rewrite the whole stuff and forget CB and other stuff. Horribly every Uddeim installation resets config back to standard and erases all previous config. It misses proper Namespace and router as well. That is why pagination and attachments do not work. Better to rewrite the core.

But most important someone needs to be in proper charge and offer package as download with upgrades. A Slabi stating that he discontinues and no proper support is not good.

It is not a big deal to make an installation package. That is how people install software in Joomla. In the end it is just a matter of versioning and creating a ZIP file.

So if you are in charge now it would be the first job to install these packages on an update server.

Sorry to ask this but I am a little confused. We had Joomla 3.10 + Kunena 5 and uddelM and all was well and users were happy.
We upgraded to Joomla 4 + Kunena 6 and I thought that it wasn't possible to reinstall uddelM? It would be really good as my users liked the private messaging system, they don't seem to be able to work out the new private post system on Kunena.
So is uddelM going to be available for all to install in Kunena 6 as a package?
Thanks
Terry

I have added the actual zip installation package with updated plugins and premium addons (not yet released on github)
If you need it, you may try it (languages are reduced to english, german and french - others (old) on github)
(I know some sites where it is up and running - joomlaforum.ch/joomla4-erweiterungen/388...te-fuer-kunena-forum )


you now can also d/l it from github:
uddeIM5  github.com/slabbi/uddeIM/tree/main/_udde..._Joomla5_UNSUPPORTED
github.com/slabbi/uddeIM/blob/main/_udde...5%20-%20en-de-fr.zip
 

sorry, double post (got a timeout, but was sent)
