OLd Plugins to be updated

Post by jsphillips » 30 Jan 2023 17:27

HI
After running my plug ins to check for updates there were 4 that were not in Current List
1 Map Geo Code Maintenance version 1.1 by Janet Taubman
2 Possible Problem set ignore markers version 1.1 Janet Taubman
3 Surname Summary Usage version 1.2.1 Janet Taubman & Mike Tate
4 Surname Usage count version 0.2
Do these need to be updated or is there an equivalent
Thanks

If you're running v6.2 (as per your profile) and they've worked before, why do they need updating?

Also, most of them don't seem to be in the Plugin Store. Have you got the names correct or did you download from a forum posting?

  1. Map Geo Code Maintenance V1.1 July 2011 Jane Taubman was never published in the Plugin Store
    Designed to work with Map Life Events plugin in FH V5 before FH Map Window and Map Life Facts plugin.
  2. Possible Problem Set Ignore Report Markers V1.1 May 2012 Jane Taubman is in the Plugin Store:
    https://pluginstore.family-historian.co ... rt-markers
  3. Surname Summary Usage V1.2.1 Jul 2019 Jane Taubman & Mike Tate was never published in the Plugin Store.
    It still seems to work in FH V6 and FH V7.
  4. Surname Usage Count V0.2 Jul 2019 Mike Tate was never published in the Plugin Store.
    It still seems to work in FH V6 and FH V7.
  5. Those last two were variants of Surname Summary Report V1.4 Nov 2020 Jane Taubman that is in the Plugin Store:
    https://pluginstore.family-historian.co ... ary-report
Those that were never published would have been FHUG Forum Attachments that no longer exist.

Thanks Mike
When I run the plug in "Check installed Plugins against Store" the plugin "possible Problem set ignore markers 1.1 " says NOT IN Store
How can that be ? I have checked that this is the latest version
Thanks

That is caused by a small discrepancy in the plugin name, etc.
Like you, I have installed Possible Problem Set Ignore Markers V1.1 July 2011
but in the Plugin Store is Possible Problem Set Ignore Report Markers V1.1 May 2012

It seems that the Plugin Store copy was renamed and updated in May 2012 but its Version number was not changed.

I suggest you download the latest from the Plugin Store and delete the old copy.
