ExpressionEngine 5 does not see this addon

[romtim]

Hey.
I uploaded this like any other addon, but nowhere to be found within the EE admin panel.
Is this plugin not supported by the latest versions of ExpressionEngine?

I think EE3 was the last version I tested it on. I haven’t used EE in years, so I don’t feel qualified to upgrade it. I’m happy to hand over the reigns if you want to get it up to snuff.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately, I never developed anything for EE, so I wouildn't know where to look.
I am just trying to get lazy loading to work for an EE site. If this plugin doesn't work anymore, then I have only one other potential solution - https://expressionengine.com/forums/archive/topic/228545/lazy-image-loading

Do you happen to know if there is any other way to get lazyloading to work for EE? In particular, the part where you need to rewrite the image tags so that the lazyloading plugin sees them.

Thanks!

Addons and plugins were the main reason I switched from EE to Craft. A plugin I depended on wasn't updated by the author anymore, and after missing a few major updates I had to make a call.

I am now using as few CMS addons as possible. For lazy loading, I use a JS library: LazySizes.

You could argue that that is also an "addon", but in my view a JS library has fewer dependencies than a CMS addon and can easily be replaced.

Native lazy-loading is coming to browsers, so addons might not be required soon.

Thank you, this is helpful! Great news on native lazy loading!
