[request] Old plugins that need remakes?
Like the subject line says. Plugins that have been abandoned, don’t really work anymore, etc.

Re: [request] Old plugins that need remakes?
There is some plugins that don’t really work – but many of them are after that included in the core or have been replaced with new one, made by other plugin-makers. Quite fun to notice that over three years old plugins are now mostly things that come with core.
Cheers!

Re: [request] Old plugins that need remakes?
not sure if its a plugin issue itself or whether its just become outdated compared to textpattern 4.0.5, but i often find odd things that don’t seem to work with ied_hide_in_admin
for example, hiding “Write: category 1” and “Write: category 2” doesn’t work unless a category actually exists. there are also some other odd issues where you have to select a certain combination of things to hide in order for other seemingly unrelated items to be hidden.
the original author said he’d look into it but that was 4 months ago :P

I am using glx_image, and that requires dca_pop, so I assume it still works :)

mrz_lastsidemod. I am now using wet’s code, though it doesn’t seem to update when an image is added.
Couldn’t this become a txp tag?

Re: [request] Old plugins that need remakes?
I wouldn’t mind seeing a rework of Albumpattern (http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=2865), maybe with an option to use it in conjunction with Lightbox or Slimbox. I used to love the way you could create your own image galleries and add images to them from the Admin Interface, without any coding.

this sounded like an interesting plugin that i didn’t get to try out! hopefully it can be revived?

Re: [request] Old plugins that need remakes?
I agree about Albumpattern. When I was looking around for what CMS to use, it was the development of AP that made me choose TXP. It looked really good.
Photopattern is still available as well, which is interesting.
Seems to me, this abandoned code is a great opportunity to develop a gallery plugin because much of the work has already been done.
Then again, it might be better for a coder to start from the beginning instead of modifying existing work?

Re: [request] Old plugins that need remakes?
If anybodies interested, I still have the last version of the Albumpattern plugin on my PC before the author pulled it from his website. The concept behind it was brilliant, but I often found the installation to be buggy and awkward. I kept receiving lots of error messages, even though it appeared to work afterwards.
