Plugins...

I know Alex/someone at GT made a thread on this a while back...but I can't for the life of me find it! What is needed to make old plugins forward compatible?

Thanks

I think you wanted the plugins forum :)

Not really. I thought it was a 2.1 (i,e PHP version) specific update?

I don't get what you are saying...the php version doesn't even use plugins or did I misunderstand what you are asking?

Never mind...I think you are right...it should have been in the Plugins forum. All I need to know is what to add to the top of older plugins to make the forward compatible to version 2.1 (to make it compatible with Gossamer Community).

You need to add

Links::init('/path/to/admin')

and

Links::init_user() to initialize $USER

Making them compatible with all versions may require extra code like:

Links::init('/path/to/admin') if defined Links::init();

...or whatever.

Ah..thats what I was looking for I knew Alex posted something about it a while ago...but I couldn't find the thread.
