Drupal 9 Deprecated Code Report for Node Order

Is it safe to say this module is no longer maintained? There's no D8 version on the release page. The last D8 beta was created on May 2, 2018.

I find this module immensely useful and use it on my most of my larger sites even to this day.

I'm curious what we do now? I'd like to see this module kept up to date. What would be best? Do we just use the fork forever? Can we become maintainers somehow? Just want to see this module continue. I don't think there's a viable alternative, and I don't want to pollute the module list with a clone of this module with a different name.

What do we do?

Ok, I find this module absolutely necessary on quite a few sites. It was hard enough with Drupal 9, but now that I'm updating to Drupal 10...

I went ahead and created a new module. I'm going to use it to cater to Drupal 9 and 10 only. It's mostly an updated copy of this module's current state (right now), updated to work with Drupal 10 and renamed as to not cause conflicts.

Feel free to open up issues, request to co-maintain, etc.. Or maybe I just use it. Either way. I just need this module working on my Drupal 10 upgrade, and I feel like this is going to be the easiest route.

I believe there is an official way of becoming a maintainer of an abandoned project. I can’t quite find it but I’ve seen it somewhere. Maybe ask in the Drupal Slack?

@xpersonas, wouldnt't it be better for you to request for a maintainer role for this module?

I would be happy to become a maintainer for this project. But I don't feel like the maintainers are responding. If there's a way to do that for an abandoned project, I'm not aware of it. The original authors and maintainers did a great job with this module. I just need something stable going forward. I can remove my project or keep it private if it causes conflict or this module gets updated.

@xpersonas there is a way, described here:

You will be interested in point #6.

xpersonas, if you're interested in becoming a maintainer of this project, you need to follow the procedure outlined here: https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/managing-a-drupalorg-theme-module-or... →

Hijacking an existing issue created for a different purpose is not the right way to do this.

Moving back to the project's own issue queue.

If you open a new issue offering to maintain, remember to PM the owner

LOL. Well, I'm failing. I guess I misunderstood the instructions. I jumped straight to #6. Trying to be helpful, but I think I'm doing the opposite. Apologies to everyone.

@xpersonas Your work and help is much appreciated! After waiting for a long time, trying to find other modules that works, while ignoring the mails telling me I have an unsupported module in my project, it would be great if this module would be alive again!
So thanks again for your efforts!

Thanks @ReneW. I appreciate that. Yeah just trying to do this the right way. I made a new issue asking to be a maintainer or co-maintainer. I think I have to wait 2 weeks before I can request ownership through drupal.org. So that's what I'm going to try.

Hello everyone, I'll take a look patches at the weekend.

Next time for quick feedback send message in slack. thanks in advance.

Dev version has been updated and should be compatible with Drupal 9 now.

davps → changed the visibility of the branch nodeorder-3072720 to hidden.

I am closing the task due to the fact that all the changes have been merged into the 2x branch. Thank you all for your help.
