1.x -> 2.x addons map/alternatives?

[TheLaw]

I'm doing an upgrade of some sites and am wondering if anyone knows of a resource or post/chart that has good suggestions for migration of addons/plugins from 1.x to 2.x. Some of these could prove to be challenging, e.g., Waindigo's Custom Fields since if it's not supported in some other form then the data needs to be migrated to a new addon.

I've got about 78 addons on one large site (including 20 addons I wrote myself that I'll have to see if they need rewriting), others that are non-essential to check, but these are probably the ones that need replacing/updating and there is a question about migration that should be determined. Several of these don't seem possible and some of the data would be unfortunate to be lost. I'll leave info of what I've found here and hopefully it may help others. PS - I've mapped all of the 50 addons I have and am recreating my custom work some of you may have. Feel free to reach me if you'd like for assistance. hope all of you are well.

As has been mentioned in the upgrade process, deleting/removing addons prior to upgrades is critical if you want to recover precious space in your database that will ultimately be orphaned with an upgrade.

• [A] Best Answer 1.1.1.1 (Apantic - No longer around - may not have a good migration path. This was very useful and would be an unfortunate loss.)
• [AD] Navigation Manager 1.0.8 Patch 1 - (Audentio or Theme House - no longer available, deleted, probably not needed)
• [bd] Widget Framework 2.5.9 (Probably no longer needed, customizations will need to be redone in code)
• [TD] Add "All Posts" and "All Threads" to user card - unmaintained.
• [WMTech] - Create New Thread Global 1.0.6 - This would be useful to replace as it's not data. Instead of requiring registering up front, make your post and then register after. They are around but i don't see a replacement at their store.)
• [XenMods] [Widgets] (bd Widget Framework) 1.4.0 (Probably no longer needed, customizations will need to be redone in code)
• Ads Manager - Looks like this is updated and supported. Goody!
• Bookmark 1.7 - This is by @AndyB - many thanks for incredible functionality added to 1.x. Unfortunately no longer available. Looks like there is a built in bookmark in new XF 2.0 but migration may not be possible. I will test ad see.
• Custom Fields by Waindigo2.1.1 - Waindigo appears to be taken over by @ThemeHouse who has several nice looking addons.
  • Apparently @ThemeHouse may have done us a huge favor of creating an importer into XF 2.0 (but not 2.1) so I will be checking whether to first upgrade to 2.0 to run this importer before upgrading to a higher version. This is a critically important upgrade step if accurate.
• Custom User Fields Permissions 1.0.0 See User Criteria Extended
• Daily Statistics - Updated.
• MetaMirror 1.6.1 - (This may have a replacement thanks to NixFifty's plugin.)
• Prefix Forum Listing 1.2.5 (This is unmaintained and incompatible, possibility of functionality with this addon but I haven't tested whether it maintains the existing entries yet. Another might be this addon or a Multiprefix addon by Xon, although that is a bit more advanced.)
• Tag Essentials 1.6.0 (XenMods and this resource is gone. It seems Tag Essentials 2 is an upgrade and/replacement, reference is here.)
• User Criteria by Waindigo 1.0.15 - This may be an upgrade/replacement.
• VaultWiki Routes 0.0.0 -- This one appears critical for me and good thing VaultWiki appears to be updated for XF 2.0 too
