we succesfully updated our LS version from 2.73 to 3.15. Everything works great except for all our self-developed plugins. No matter which one we upload the plugins folder, the plugin configuartion page on LS will show an error (page cannot be displayed).
As far as I have found out this has happened to several users. The suggestion was to delete the plugin from the plugins folder, which works apparentely.
However, what I did not find out was how to rewrite plugins such that they work in LS 3.x? I did not find any manual or any updates in how far plugins need to be rewritten such that they also work in LS 3.x. Is there any guidance out there or any hints I could use?
directly : LS3 move from \ls\pluginmanager\ to \LimeSurvey\pluginmanager\ but PluginBase is a shortcut to the good Class in all (except 2.63.1) limesurvey version.
If you still use __construct, you muts move to init. init is OK since 2.6 (and before) __construct deprecated since 2.6 and broken in 3.X
Elmse you can have some plugin with near complete compatibility :
gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/renderMessage
for example (but all code are updated according to LS api, simple plugin can work with just the 2 advice before).
PS : remind to activate debug mode for devlopment …
