Blog "complex content in datatable" example no more working for Active Content.

I need something like explained in the blog:
https://blog.webix.com/complex-content-in-datatable-2/

When I run the snippet (Active content), as it is, I get a full blank pagewith a “script error” popup. By default, it is shown with WEBIX 8.3 PRO.

When I try it with older WEBIX versions, I get different results:

Note:
Not sure the snippets will show the exact version, though.

Note:
Did not try the other examples.

Yes, the snippets given show the exact WEBIX version.

OK.
Saw that the ActiveContent is deprecated, since 7.0:
Farewell to the Old Year, Farewell to the Old Code: Looking Forward to 7.0

Could be an idea to update this blog, to indicate this change.
I can understant it would be tricky to update all of them.

Anyway, on my side, I’ll try something else.

Hello @StephanG ,
Yes, you’re right. ActiveContent has been deprecated as of Webix 7.0.
Please use template instead to embed complex HTML elements.

A good way to get up-to-date information on the available Webix functionality is to check the What’s new section ( which gets updated shortly after the new version has been released) of our documentation and our migration guide (it contains the most important information you need when jumping to a newer version of Webix)

As a side note, it is still possible to get the ActiveContent module from our GitHub and use it in your project, if you have such a need.

Thx @annazankevich,

I managed to use the template, with the help of the Snippet tool.
It’s a bit tricky to follow the “migration guide”, when you migrate from an old version, but I managed.

As an idea, it would be nice to update some of important blogs, from time to time, to indicate deprecations like this one. It may save a lot of time to all of WEBIX users.

My 2 cents :wink: .
