Several of my plugins from RW 5 didn’t transfer over to RW6: FormLoom, symFlowPlayer Plugin RW, Stacks, FaqMaker RW, symNivo Plugin. Videos went away, etc.Ideas?
Bob,
The upgrade process seems a little daunting before you embark on it; but stick with it - have you followed the instructions here? What happened? Can you Reveal AddOns in Finder?
It’s possible that you didn’t have RW6-compatible versions:
FormLoom 3 for RW6 is here.
Today Stacks 3 was launched.
FAQMaker is here.
Try updating them first in RW5. Good luck!
Thanks, Mark.
I was able to upgrade the existing plugins except the symFlow.rwplugin and symNivo.rwplugin, both of which are no longer supported and certainly not upgraded to RW6. That’s a problem for me because my site is mostly video, in .flv clips. I’ve searched for a replacement player that does .flv but not found one. What I’d like to do is convert the .flvs to mp4s and go to YouTube clips. Is there a tutorial or a YouTube plugin that would make that task simpler?
Thanks. I’d really like to take advantage of the improved RW, but would rather not have to start from scratch.

Bob,
I know just what you’re saying about no-longer-supported.
I have six sites to maintain and frankly I put off moving from RW5 to 6 for that reason… I was reluctant to face conversion.
But when I started, I found it was an excellent opportunity to move content in all the old no-longer-supported plugins into Stacks; they’re all all the better for it!
Conversion from .flv to .mp4 is easy. There are many apps that will do it.
Try this or this. Or such a Google search as ‘mac convert flash to mp4’ for routines/docs that will walk you through it.
No, don’t start from scratch - I couldn’t find a single plugin for which there is now no equivalent or better Stack!
