Feature Request - show version badges to installed packages

Feature Request

Is it possible to display the new version badges in the installed packages as well?
This would have the advantage of giving a first impression of whether the Contao version can be upgraded.

[aschempp]

you can see that information in the details popup already. I think showing this in the list of installed packages could be misleading, because the version you currently use does not match the shown compatibility.

Wouldn't be "too misleading" (take it with a grain of salt), it's more about "where" to show it.

Been thinking about adding it when I did the PR in the package-list, however it's more about way too many information that are visible at once (mind that there is also the responsive view) 🤔

Edit

Or rather - if I am still on 4.13 and I see that all my installed plugins are "contao 5" ready... maybe that would lead me to update to C5?

It would still need to set the proper version in that case...

because the version you currently use does not match the shown compatibility.

When would that be the case?

[zoglo]

When would that be the case?

E.g. using in terminal42/contao-leads in version 1.x for C4.13 but 3.x being the one for Contao 5.
The version that you have in your composer.json wouldn't be compatible with C5.

[berecont]

I think there is a misunderstanding. I meant that the possible compatibility of the versions is shown here - regardless of the version you have installed.

In other words, just as it is in the general overview. The installed version is not queried here, but the latest package and the highest compatibility of the Contao version is displayed.

[fritzmg]

E.g. using in terminal42/contao-leads in version 1.x for C4.13 but 3.x being the one for Contao 5.
The version that you have in your composer.json wouldn't be compatible with C5.

But the extension in general is compatible with Contao 5 - that's the point. That's what this feature request is about. If you want to update from Contao 4.13 to Contao 5 you'd want to know at a glance whether all of your extensions are compatible with Contao 5. If you have 20 extensions installed you'd not want to klick into the detail view 20 times just to check if one of them does not have the badge for Contao 5.

If someone has a good design proposal, I wouldn't mind implementing it and making a PR.

It just feels very stuffed right now with all the information

[berecont]

just put <ul> before the <h1>
same as in the general view

[zoglo]

I agree with the other versions but this is very stuffed and completely out of place

[fritzmg]

Looks fine to me. If anything, the download, license and like information could be removed. Surely the Contao Version compatibility is more useful in the installed packages screen than those.

[zoglo]

We could also position it there.

@aschempp wdyt about this:

Looks fine to me. If anything, the download, license and like information could be removed. Surely the Contao Version compatibility is more useful in the installed packages screen than those.

[fritzmg]

imho it does not need to re removed. I assume it's there so it is consistent with the package search. The same should apply to the version badges. But if something has to be removed, it should not be the version badges, as that is arguably more valuable information than the amount of downloads, likes or the license information.

[aschempp]

I would probably place it beside the stats. I don't really like it though, but I don't know why. I agree the stats are not important either, maybe we should revise the package list in general. But not as a quick fix 😏
