vBulletin 5 and 6 Plugin Compatibility

[glennrocksvb]

Will vB5 plugins work with vB6? That's one of the most asked questions when vB6 was released. Here in vBMods.rocks, the answer is mostly yes.

Most of the vB5 mods here in vBMods.rocks should work with vB6 but it's not a guarantee at this point due to obviously unforeseen frontend and backend changes introduced in vB6. We will test the mods with vB6 to check compatibility.

Here's the list of the mods we have tested so far. (✔️ = Compatible ❌ = Not compatible)

NOTE: If a mod is compatible with vB6 self-hosted, then it follows that it is also compatible with vBCloud (if vBCloud version is made available). So even if vBCloud links are not listed here, if its self-hosted version is listed, then it means its vBCloud version is also compatible.

Glenn thanks for doing this and posting the results. It will be very helpful
Just noticed the collapsible PM mod above. I must of missed it after development, but like it. Will be buying it. See,,, your above list may create sales too.

[masterofnone]

Yes this is very helpful to know as I have been using many of the fantastic mods you created!

[glennrocksvb]

List updated in the first post.

[glennrocksvb]

List updated again. Check back soon for more updates.

Default Initials Avatar for cloud. Are any changes needed, did not see it on the thread

[glennrocksvb]

Checking...

[glennrocksvb]

I confirm the mod works on vB6 without needing any tweaks.

1. Like Counts on Postbit and Profile❌ (due to Likes being replaced by new Reactions system)

On my site.. the like counts on profile still working after vb6 update.

[glennrocksvb]

It doesn't seem to be working completely. The grinning face, smiling face with hearts, smiling face with sunglasses and thumbs up emojis are counted as Likes which is probably good because those are positive reactions. But reacting to your own posts (which is new in vB6) positively does not count as Likes.

[masterofnone]

It looks like all the mods I have except for the autolinker are good to go. Thanks for providing this list glennrocksvb!

[glennrocksvb]

You're welcome masterofnone. I'll take a look at Autolinker mod. Maybe it just requires a small PHP tweak like some of the mods in the list.

[glennrocksvb]

masterofnone, I just tested AutoLinker mod and it still works in vB6. I've added it to the list in the first post.

I wonder why it's not working for you. Do you see any JS error in the browser DevTools console? The mod has no PHP code so I was incorrect with my assumption in my previous post. It's just the JS that does the autolinking.

I haven't migrated yet, I was was waiting for the list to be updated for all of the plugins and also waiting for the first patch to come out for 6.x. I can now start planning to upgrade in the coming month for my forum.

Thank you Glen!

Oh I see. Wish you luck on the upgrade.
