Older plugins compatibility with 1.8.29 or maintained alternatives

[Sebas R]

Hi again,

we are wanting to add a few features to our forum and we do not know if those plugins work and if their development has been stopped. That is why we need your help, to let us know if you still use them or if there are more recent alternatives.

The plugins we saw (mainly for their features are):

MyWrap [wrap] - link
Last update: 2018-07
Feature wanted: Colored bars with/without icons that may be customizable
_______________________


Image Auto-Resizer - link
Last update: 2020-12
Feature wanted: Force vertical resize of huge images (if it had forum side compression it would be magical)
_______________________

Activity Bars - link
Last update: 2021-04 (looks fully compatible)
Feature wanted: Fully customizable fields to display in %, posts or threads

_______________________

User Activity Promotion - link
Last update: 2017-01
Feature wanted: Downgrade inactive users based on a criteria set (having to do this by making moderator notes user by user is a nightmare)
_______________________


ABP Notice - link
Last update: 2016-01
Feature wanted: Color bars on threads/posts to highlight some details so that users may see them better

Any help from the plugin devs or forum admins who have these kinds of features and that can give some advice on these or other plugins who do basically the same will be greatly appreciated.

I'm the author of that plugin, and yes, it works on 1.8.29 and is currently being maintained - it was updated only a few days ago (you seem to have accidentally listed the original upload date rather than the date of last upload). It doesn't support compression as yet but there is a GitHub issue for that requested feature - Optimize image to reduce size - so it might be implemented at some point.

Also, you can't stipulate a maximum size for only height, but if you set a very large value for maximum width then this should serve your purposes OK.

An alternative is Omar's premium plugin (for USD $20)  OUGC Image Optimizer which does support compression via the TinyPNG and reSmush.it APIs.

I'm the author of this plugin and I can confirm that it works with 1.8.29
