Block Waiting Contents

[GregMage]

in XoopsCore25\htdocs\modules\system\blocks\system_blocks.php:

// this block is deprecated
b_system_waiting_show()

It misses a message that says this block is deprecated when using this block

I find it unfortunate to depreciate this block because it is very convenient!

I think that we should review the code to add a module without changing the system module (I think a system identical to the search system).

What do you think?

That has been marked deprecated for a long time (I stopped looking after finding that in XOOPS 2.5.4.)

In 2.6 there is the waiting module which implements a plugin interface that any module can implement. There may be some changes to the details, but that is the future direction.

For 2.5, I've used GIJ-CHECKMATE Extensible Waiting Block Module which also uses a plugin system.

It is older code, but I have made a few unpublished changes to support recent upgrades to some existing sites. Let me know if it would be of any use to you.

I will create a block directly in my module for that. I look forward to version 2.6 which will simplify things.

I remembered the problem of this block!

Can we put a deprecated message? Or even remove that unnecessary block?
