Reason Number 48 Drupal Drives Me Crazy

by dv November 13, 2013 No Comments

A user requests the ability to browse and insert links to nodes (pages) from the WYSIWYG editor, similar to how it works for uploaded files. A quick google search returns TinyMCE Node Picker which sounds perfect. Oh, wait …

This module will de discontinued and replaced with Node Picker as soon as a stable release is available.

So I go over to Node Picker, see there are no Drupal 7 releases, and read this:

This project is looking for a new maintainer. Please post in the issue queue if you are interested.

Please see LinkIt and LinkIt Picker for actively developed replacement for Node Picker.

So I go look at LinkIt and LinkIt Picker, and LinkIt Picker looks like what I want, but it’s project page notes…

WARNING: Linkit picker 1.x is currently NOT compatible with Linkit 2.x
….
Maintenance status: Seeking co-maintainer(s)
Development status: No further development

Hmmm, that sounds bad, especially since LinkIt is currently on … version 3!

Ugh, what a morass. This is not an isolated incident. Happens all the time with Drupal. Sigh.
