Support for Kibana 7.6

Hi @ch-bas, do you have any idea of what you need to close this?

[ch-bas]

Hi @francisco-hoo , I think this will not be closed and merged as long as the maintainer announced that there is no plan for upcoming versions, you can try my fork meanwhile.

@ch-bas Do you plan to make your fork compatible with Kibana 7.8 ?
I rely on this plugin to upgrade the stack but no luck since version 7.3.2 .

@RonnieDilli what you got when trying for >7.3.x ?

@RonnieDilli what you got when trying for >7.3.x ?

@francisco-hoo

In an existing Dashboard on 7.7.0 and 7.8.0 the instead of the plugin contents, it says:
Invalid type "time"

as the image bellow:

The "Time Widget" is not even an option in "New Visualization".

I tried applying changes supplied in other issues and even @ch-bas branch, but no effect.
Also the Kibana console shows:
[kibana-time-plugin] are using the legacy plugin format and will no longer work in a future Kibana release. Please refer to https://ela.st/kibana-breaking-changes-8-0 for a list of breaking changes and https://ela.st/kibana-platform-migration for documentation on how to migrate legacy plugins."}

At this time, I'm looking for upgrading to versions from 7.7.0 and above, since the new feature "Alerts" are a deal breaker for us.
So any help is appreciated.

Yes this is a problem related to the code... Elasticsearch remove support for legacy plugins, so since 7.x you must change some part of your code. Here you have some examples of migration from the previous versions to new ones.

Thank you Francisco, I suspect the code needed changes, but other forks haven't any.
Anyway, I'll attempt the changes and upload them to my fork, I hope it works.

This pull request may suppress the need for the plugin:

This pull request may suppress the need for the plugin:

Yes @RobinELM but it will be interesting let people in previous versions have access to this feature too. Some people are using other plugins that requires a specific version of Kibana.
Is this pull request related to a play button with a start/end date to create an animation? Only seems to be a shareable link of a dashboard with start and end date..

I understand it will allow you to choose some features when you share a dashboard, for example:

If you pick the Time Filter option it will show the default time picker while using an embedded dashboard.
Without the Time Filter you will be restrained to a start and end date, like you are nowadays anyway.
