3.3.3 Plugins?

Post by BlasterX »

So I am new to phpBB and something I need clarification on is many plugins listed are for 3.3.2 but the current version is 3.3.3 will 3.3.2, 3.3.1, etc plugins work on 3.3.3 installations.

Also what about 3.2 plugin versions will those also work?

Some of these plugins look really cool but are not listed as 3.3.3.

There are some coding differences between 3.2 and 3.3. Moreover, some extensions make it work in 3.3 with minor changes made in one or more files. However, this situation is not valid for every extension. You can only learn this on that extension's support forum.

Best regards.

That can mean there was no need to update the plugin (3.3.2 series may work in 3.3.3). But that can also mean this plugin is not maintained. Read the comments and posts.
My 2 cents: Whether an extension is in the CDB says nothing about its quality. It is more important to read the support topics for it. Better to avoid authors who do not answer support questions themselves, who do not update their stuff, and who do not fix bugs for years.

To the best of my knowledge all 3.3.x extensions will work with 3.3.3. Also the majority of 3.2.x extensions will work with 3.3.3 and many 3.1.x extensions will work with 3.3.3.

The phpBB policy is that you do not submit an extension to the CDB just to update the version unless there is a code change.
