Any plan's for major overhaul?

[Ingrid]

Hi there, I am getting some customization done to the plugin and I am wondering if there are going to be any major upgrades or overhauls to the plugin’s core classes? I’m asking because I’d like my customization to work for a good while.

Thanks
Ingrid

Hey @Ingrid,

Thanks for reaching out!

We are constantly working on our plugins and publishing updates. While the change from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1 might not be that significant, the change from 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 will likely be significant and include many, many core code changes.

Your customizations will likely be affected, and will need updating themselves; it’s a tricky thing to manage, which is part of the reason we are not able to provide customizations for folks ourselves.

However, please note that there is a ton of customization work that can be done to wholly modify the behavior and appearance of our plugins that does not require modifying core plugin code. Our plugins’ actions, filters, and Template System (read more here) can all be used to great effect on this front, with minimal modification of the core plugin code required.

Make sure the developer you hire is aware of these methods and uses them! 😀 Be sure to sure, for example, our Themer’s Guide here ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

I hope this information helps!

Thanks George, just out of curiosity, when will 4.3.0 be?

Hey @Ingrid,

Though we don’t have a guaranteed launch date, at this time the rough estimate for the arrival of 4.3.0 is sometime in late August/early September of this year.

Let me know if there is anything else I can try to help with!
