Over the past few weeks I’ve received a number of emails asking if and when my ExpressionEngine add-ons will be ported to EE 2.

The following table lists my current plans for each add-on, along with some explanatory notes, where necessary. Add-ons are listed in order of priority.

You’ll notice that there are no projected release dates for any of the add-ons.

My experiences to date suggest that development will take much longer than I either hope or anticipate. There’s little point in me throwing out arbitrary deadlines, and shuffling my feet awkwardly when they fly by; each add-on will be released when it’s done to a standard with which I am happy.

Add-on	Converting?	Notes
SmartDown	Done
MailChimp Subscribe	Yes Done
Campaigner	Yes Done	Free upgrade for existing Campaigner customers.
BucketList	Yes Unlikely	Despite several public calls for an EE 2 version of BucketList, the EE 1 version has never been a big seller. It’s therefore very difficult to justify the development time required for an EE 2 version.
SL Combinator	Yes Very unlikely	An EE 2 version exists, but is very unlikely to see the light of day. Minimee does something very similar, and has a much cooler name, dammit.
SL Developer Info	Yes Maybe
SL Field Formatting	Not possible	A quick scout through the EE 2 codebase suggests that the extension hooks required to implement SL Field Formatting have not (yet) been implemented.
DropDate	Undecided Done	With thanks to Low Dogg.
SL Comment Redirect	Undecided
SL Google Map	Undecided	I’ve made no secret of the fact that the next version of SL Google Map is likely to be a commercial release. Implementing multiple locations per map, aggregate maps, directions, and many of the other frequently-requested features is a lot of work, and I would need to cover at least some of my costs. The release of MX Google Map makes this a far less viable proposition.
Speakeasy	Undecided
Deniro	Unlikely No	The third-party service upon which Deniro relies has completely changed its API, forcing me to retire the EE 1 version. I have no plans to write an EE2 version.

If I haven’t yet committed to converting an add-on upon which you rely, please let me know. Your heartfelt plea may not change my mind, but at the very least it will give me an overwhelming sense of power.
