Please could Archiver be removed from the Module Manager

I don't know where to post this. It is a quality assurance issue as much as anything else.

Archiver is no longer compatible with the latest version of CMS Made Simple, however it is still in the latest list of modules in the Module Manager. Archiver currently prevents users from update Global Content Blocks in CMS1.7.1 and as such should be removed from the Module Manager until this problem is fixed.

I highlighted the problem last month and have not seen any change to the module itself so presume that maintaining module compatibility is not a priority. Therefore it should be removed from the Module Manager repository until it is fixed, to prevent other people from having to go directly into the database and making GCB updates by hand (not fun).

I disagree that it should be removed, but would recommend instead that it be not shown as compatible for the 1.7.x tree.  There are a number of users still using 1.6 for various reasons, and Archiver is still quite useful there.  Granted, 1.6.x is no longer officially supported...

Have you contacted the module developer to see if he is working on the compatibility issue?

It's actually a Core bug.

To fix it, edit CMS_ROOT/admin/edithtmlblob.php

Change line 137 from:

Code: Select all

Events::SendEvent('Core', 'EditGlobalContentPre', array('global_content' => &$blobobj));
to:

Code: Select all

Events::SendEvent('Core', 'EditGlobalContentPre', array('global_content' => &$the_blob));
and Archiver works fine.
