Lots of us with production sites waiting for contrib modules to stabilize for D6 before upgrading, possible for you to release a D5 version?

ppblaauw commentedSorry,
We are still actively developing the module for drupal 6.
We have no time to backport it to drupal 5.

Can you send your e-mail address via my contact form.

ppblaauw commentedTo give you all an idea about the time and effort needed to develop a module like the dynamic display block module here a summary:
Making the functionality we have now (RC2) for the dynamic display block module for Drupal 6 including documentation took us about 1 month of work.
If you calculate 30 days x 8 hours = 240 hours work. + documentation 7 days x 8 hours = 56 hours.
This gives a total of 306 hours of work.
Then add bug fixing and support: times x hours
The functionality for the next version of the dynamic display block module will cost one to two month of work if not more. I expect between 300 and 400 hours of work.
Backporting to Drupal 5 with the functionality of the next version would cost about 100 to 200 hours is my expectation. Then also documentation and bug fixing/support.
I hope with this summary we gave a little bit more insight how much time and effort it takes to make a module like this.
We can not accept offers of $100 or $200 dollar to backport the module to drupal 5.
