compatibilty for nextcloud 28

[zeratax]

Any timeframe when this will support nextcloud v28?

seems like a bunch of stuff changed so the current version isn't compatible anymore

I now also got an update to nextcloud v28.

[BloodyIron]

Yeah really still want this for NC28.

Hi ! I just updated my NC to the version 28, and the markdown editor is broken. I tried ton change the "max version" in the info.xml file but it was not so easy, it seems there are been some changes in the code handling the text files :/

I miss my editor, I think the default one offered by Nextcloud is not convenient at all, I really like to be able to preview the changes and have a "read only" mode to make sure I do not edit my file by mistake... 😍

I am not a dev so I cannot really help on the code part, but I can provide help if needed to test changes !

I'm missing the support of this addon for updating to NC28 too

Default markdown editor of NC28 is really bad!! Please update for NC28, thank you very much.

Last commit 6 months ago as of this writing. Is this abandonware now then or what?

[Pheromon]

I hope not but it surely seems so.

Any1 is able/willing to fork the repo and keep it compatible?

Looking forward for an update of files_markdown. The app is very helpful in my daily tasks.

@icewind1991 Is this app still supported / maintained? It is an "update to NC v28 blocking app" for many many users.

First brought up on December 26th 2023, so despite what the addon author's intentions may be, it does look safe to conclude that this addon is indeed abandonware a.k.a. a ghost addon. Please uninstall and be careful of unsupported modules.

Recently I read something similar regarding WordPress and this type of situation: outdated plugins and addons, are a big security risk. The article on WordPress can be found here:

Also - with the recent xz snafu in mind, please be extra cautious of maintainers who are going to offer to take over the project. More on the xz situation can be read here:

I am not affiliated with either outlet. I'm just being cautious and I'm imploring others to be cautious as well.

This is primarily blocked by nextcloud/files_texteditor#816

[zszen]

need for v29, the offical text plugin is not good for markdown

[jkraffthha]

So, project's dead ?!

[bcutter]

So, project's dead ?!

Obviously.
Too bad...

I upgraded my Nextcloud to version 30.0.4 and installed an app called "Markdown Editor" again. This one works the same as the previous one. So I guess everyone here can just upgrade their Nextcloud and install this app to get the same functionality.

[bcutter]

Haha, indeed - I have this installed already for quite a while (even back with NC 28). It actually IS this app.

My hack is to edit /var/www/nextcloud/apps/files_markdown/appinfo/info.xml and edit <nextcloud min-version="25" max-version="29"/> where 29 needs to be at least equal to the curent NC version installed. Unless there are no majore changes in core/server with a need for the app maintainer to adopt things, this hack works nicely.
