This one is more or less a folow up to #2325 “How can we improve KANBOARD Plugins information?” It would be great if you would tell oyur problems with particular Plugins here so that we can tryto find a solution (ask creator …) or at least warn other users that they might face off complications if they install those Plugins. ---

Stay tuned and keep us/me informed. PS: Don’t forget to do a backup (sqldump) of all your instances. Might be an overkill, but who knows. 🤨 ---

Cool down. I do not expect any trouble. I had several MySQL upgrades in the past. ---

I witched to the new server and additionally updated from KANBOARD 1.2.22 to 1.2.24 Most things I tested stell work as I have been used to see it. ## 😥 Some smaller damages? 1.

Ever heard the phrase, “Know enough to be dangerous”? I know my code well enough to know someone took it, edited it not understanding it, and thought they could make something from it by changing a few things. Maybe they succeeded. The source code: > **[GitHub - eSkiSo/Subtaskdate: Kanboard Plugin to add Due Date to Subtasks](https://github.com/eSkiSo/Subtaskdate)** > > Kanboard Plugin to add Due Date to Subtasks. Contribute to eSkiSo/Subtaskdate development by creating an account on GitHub. Plugin.php is a dead giveaway, only I would ever name a variable “$wasmaster”! ---

To me, the concept of third-parties-based plug-ins (vs “modules” maintained in-tree in lockstep) is fundamentally flawed. They don’t always feel well-integrated, they overlap in featureset and have incompatibilities, they go unmaintained, etc. I understand any app’s “core” maintainers wanting to externalize this code management cost and make it “somebody else’s problem”, but it’s a nightmare for users, as I’ve seen elsewhere (such as Firefox, WordPress, etc.). It boils down to [https://pluginproblems.com](https://pluginproblems.com) ---

Speaking of this particular plugin again > **[GitHub - Shaun-Fong/SubtaskDescription: Kanboard plugin to add markdown...](https://github.com/Shaun-Fong/SubtaskDescription)** > > Kanboard plugin to add markdown description to subtasks. - GitHub - Shaun-Fong/SubtaskDescription: Kanboard plugin to add markdown description to subtasks. Somehow it works just fine on an instance using SQLite, but doesn’t work at all with one using MYSQL. Doesn’t even show on plugins page. Everything is the same but the database. Any idea ? Thanks! ---

> [@John](#): > > Any idea ? Yes. OK, some expertise required. A brief look into the debug log reveals: ```LOG 2023-03-08 09:24:24] [critical] Subtaskdescription: Unable to migrate schema for the plugin: Subtaskdescription => SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1101 BLOB, TEXT, GEOMETRY or JSON column 'due_description' can't have a default value ``` This is why the plugin doesn’t install. Obviously, the MySQL schema is faulty. Edit the file Schema/Mysql.php and remove the part responsible for the problem. ```auto $pdo->exec("ALTER TABLE `subtasks` ADD COLUMN `due_description` TEXT NOT NULL "); ``` Thereafter, the plugin also works with MySQL. ---

Well, dumb me I guess ! I did notice that the MySQL schema was faulty, so I did create the column into the subtasks table with Phpmyadmin, but didn’t edit the mysql.php file. Thank you for the prompt reply ! ---
