Updating a Joomla 4 module Topic is solved

[ppetree]

Looking at one of my older Joomla 4 sites I have a plugin that I wrote that Joomla says is not compatible with Joomla 5.

How do we go about determining what, exactly, the compatibility issue is?
(I'm seriously hoping for an easy answer so I can figure out exactly what I need to fix!)

Suggestions?

Compatibility check is based solely on update server information, not on code analysis. For code changes from 4.4 to 5.0 see this guide https://manual.joomla.org/migrations/44 ... atibility/. Though it's incomplete.

You may also find the JED Checker useful in locating deprecated functions.

Thanks. It doesn't look like I use any of the affected API's. I'll update one of my parked sites and test the plugin with and without the compatibility plugin.

Thanks for that! I've not uploaded this module to JED yet... a few things to cleanup but those things have been there for 6-8 months. All the source is on github. https://github.com/ppetree/geotracker

You're still using Joomla's global namespace classes which requires Backwards Compatibility to work. You might want to fix that. Not related to J5 upgrade but more important is that your module is riddled with security vulnerabilities.

Thanks SharkyKZ. I'm not a Joomla developer at all, I got most of that framework from the 3.x docs.
