eme CreditAttribution: eme at emerya commentedHi ! Just for information, we have released admin toolbar (https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_toolbar) that tries to include the admin menu functionnalities inside the Toolbar core module (which has a big api, caching system, etc.). Feel free to see, test, help, get code or anything !

HongPong CreditAttribution: HongPong commentedAdding #2563867: PHP Fatal errors: Cannot instantiate interface Drupal\Core\Cache\CacheBackendInterface and others which has some suggestions for fixing the fatal errors (d7 calls not fixed yet).
Maybe the reworked API from the new admin toolbar module can be rolled into this one. I think the venerable admin_menu should be saved if possible for 8.x, since it's really a top-15 level module IMHO.

johnvCouldn't find this for lack of 'port' keyword.
Comment #14
colanThat's not a convincing enough argument for me. If there isn't more functionality here already, we could just deprecate this one favour of Admin Toolbar. We didn't keep Flexinode going after CCK came around.
Comment #15
colanAdded it to the list of alternates above.
Comment #16
colanThere's now a movement to get Admin Toolbar into core: #2634854: Add dropdowns to horizontal toolbar menu (as with 'admin toolbar' in contrib).
Comment #17
johnvFWIW, (ad #14) I am a happy user of Admin Toolbar in D8.
Comment #18
rooby CreditAttribution: rooby commentedIs it time to consider this module deprecated? Should the D8 version be removed from the project page?
Comment #19
berliner CreditAttribution: berliner commentedYes, please remove the 8.x release from the project page. It's misleading because from a module like this (e.g. number of downloads) you expect at least a basic functionality to be working. What you certainly don't expect is that installing this module kills your site and you have to figure out how to clean up the mess.
Admin Toolbar is a good replacement for this module in D8. Maybe you should even consider to add a prominent note to the project page that suggests to use Admin Toolbar for D8.
