Not sure if this is a valid question for SE, but I thought it as good a place as any to try and assess what Extensions people are successfully using with 4.7.x even where the extension does not state that it is compatible with 4.7

My sense - and very happy to be proven wrong - is that a good many may work, they have just not been tested by the developers, or no-one has updated the release information for them

There are two major hurdles preventing my extensions from working:

a) settings storage has changed. Unlike many extensions, mine remove their settings when uninstalled.

b) cj being removed in 4.7 as a valid JS format. My extensions need (in theory) to work on 4.4 and I don't think that allows CRM.$

In short, I'm not convinced that they can be made to work without splitting the codebase along versions somehow.

    For JS files using jQuery, I usually wrap all the code with a closure. If do this, you could refer to cj || CRM.$ -- e.g. gist.github.com/totten/9591b10d4bc09c78108d

    Phenomenal! I didn't know that was a thing. Do you have an example of how you wrap it in the closure? I know how this is done in jQuery I just want to see it in this context. I.e. if the CRM.$ enclosure contains cj

    Examples besides the gist? I think a majority of *.js files in civicrm-core provide examples of using a closure, e.g. github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/4.6/js/crm.searchForm.js . Note how (aside from the last line) one would never refer to cj or CRM.$; instead refer to $.

  • Mine use closures, just not the cj || CRM.$ bit :)

  • cj has not been removed in 4.7, FYI. But maybe someday it will be. Tim's suggestion seems like a good safeguard.

bgm says here that the Region Lookup extension works for 4.6, and would require a small fix to work with 4.7.

I've been using Multisite Permissioning in production for a couple of weeks now.

Ditto for Summary Fields - but watch out for CRM-18115, a core bug that might affect you if you use Summary Fields with smart groups.

I've also successfully testing inbound/outbound SMS with Twilio.
