Hello,
I'm preparing to update my Moodle 2.8.5+ website to the latest core release (and keep it updated moving forward). While reviewing the site's plugins and potential compatibility issues, I discovered that the Journal plugin/activity (which is used extensively on the website) appears to no longer be fully maintained and compatible with the current Moodle core (i.e., it was last updated a year ago and is only compatible up to Moodle 3.9).
Can anyone offer advice as to the best way of handling this situation? Ideally, I'd like to keep the hundreds of Journal entries submitted by the large group of students on the site. However, if the Journal plugin is no longer maintained, it seems that I may be in the position of needing to delete and/or convert all Journal submissions, which seems like a large task that I'm not even sure how to approach.
Is there perhaps a newer and fully maintained plugin to which the old Journal submissions could be migrated/converted over to? Or perhaps there is still some hope that the original Journal plugin might get an additional update at some point soon?
Any suggestions around this matter would be greatly appreciated.
