Hi thyon,

Just getting to grips with Contao.

I've just realised after installing 2.9 RC1 that Catalog is not compatible with Contao 2.9. Is it likely that when 2.9 is released that a compatible 2.0 Catalog module will be released at or near the same time? I am about to design a website which needs an online catalog and the multisite feature of Contao, and would like to use the latest version (2.9), and would like to know if I should use the latest stable 2.8 branch instead of waiting?

Thanks for your modules!
Anthony

I am having the same question, and I noticed that the answer is not given yet...

I'm not directly involved with the catalog anymore due to time constraints.

Ok. But do you know who is? But actually more when is Catalog expected to work with 2.9?

I'm using the existing beta version of catalog 2 in a Contao 2.9 website fine. Not come across and issues yet.

you can install it through the extension repository in 2.9 by searching for an extension that requires the catalog module and installing that. Just do a search for 'catalog' you'll find one.

Hi,
I have a probleme with this version !
You can to see my post : viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1963

How come when i click the link above i come into the extention repository and see the catalog extention, but when i search in the catalog repository the catalog does not show?

The extension is not flagged as compatible to your contao version.

If you can deal with possible incompatibility issues yourself, you can switch of compatibility filtering of your backend catalog in the system settings.

Thank you very much!

I was looking and looking, did not know i could ckeck or uncheck this is in settings in the backend...
