Hello.
It is sad to see that Osclass 4 and 5 core script is still free but with nothing else free. You are forced to buy themes and plugins.
This is the final hit to Osclass script. If we are going with a paid solution for classifieds, there are so much better solutions out there....
Sad but true. With Osclass 4 and 5 (from two different channels), compatibility is more or less LOST with all plugins and themes.
I do not understand what is the new "model" for Osclass. Have a very basic free script and then have to pay for all the BASICS?
This is a recipe for failure. And this happens because developers have NO idea about anything else but code.
Guys the solution is very simple.
- Stay with Osclass 3.9 and what you already have.
- Stay with PHP 7.3 for as long as you can (3.9 doesn't work well with PHP 7.4)
- Spend your time and energy searching for an alternative for the future, so you will be ready when time comes.
@editor What i see is webmasters switching to the Osclasspoint release (4.2 for now).
And i can't blaime them for that, right now it is the best move if someone needs to update for some reason. Right now the guys at Mindstellar seems to be sleeping a long nap.
How long can you stay to 3.9 and PHP 7.3. Also how long can you stay with some legacy 3.9 themes and plugins, despite the fact that they are free? Not long.

This is actually a very wise advice.
Osclass 3.9 works right with the above configuration. And it will be ok for at least 2 years. Who knows what will happen during the next 2 years.
So is Osclasspoint release the way to go? Is that what you mean?

Since this is addressed to me apparently, i'm just saying what i see happening.
I have no idea if Osclasspoint release is good or bad or whatever. But they seem to be actively adding features and functions and webmaster seem to go that way.
On the other hand the "Mindstellar" branch seems to be sleeping. We have no idea what their plans are and also i see some recent aggresiveness towards people reporting issues and bugs. Not good.
