Notes on Joomla 1.6 compatibility
From HAA Best Practices Wiki
There are major changes between Joomla 1.5 and 1.6. Here's the status of the components we use:
- Community Builder 1.4 is compatible with 1.6.
- GMaps Pro 2.0 RC2 is compatible with 1.5, I've installed this version and it's buggy. Dropped back to version 1 and modified it to work with Joomla 1.5. Major work required to go to 1.6. Current version uses pattemplate extensively and this has been dropped in 1.6.
- Event List. Beta version has some but not all of the changes for 1.6. The code is still a ways from 1.6 compatibility because of ACL problems. I'm going to wait and see if they finish it up.
- Expose Prive - only in legacy mode - Have modified to work in 1.6.
- Nice Talk - legacy only - no development - Have modified to work in 1.5. Not tested in 1.6
- Sticky Message Pro - They have a 1.6 native version. Not tested yet.
- CB Mailing - we've edited so heavily we will have to deal with it. Version we are on is 1.5 native and our changes work ok. Not yet tested in 1.6.
- Google Analytics Bridge - 1.5 native. Modified xml/php to work in 1.6. May be able to copy j16_extensions record. Preserve configuration files.
- Google Verify??
- CB Photo Gallery - 1.5 compatible, we are on 1.2 RC2, which is the latest. Supposedly 1.6 compatible, not yet tested.
- Alternate Home works in 1.5 Native. Not yet tested in 1.6
- All Links works in 1.5 Native. Not yet tested in 1.6.
- Login Redirect works in 1.5 Native. Not yet tested in 1.6
- Add yourself to the reunion attendees fails. Fixed, minor changes to db access. Updated for 1.6.
- Summary reunion list is ok. Updated for 1.6.
- HAA Reunion Mgr admin fails. Made minor changes to db access. Updated for 1.6
- HAA Reunion CB plugin is ok. Works ok in 1.6
NOTE: There are a number of admin features that don't work with IE 9. This is not a function of 1.5. If you click the "Compatibility View" button in IE 9, then it works ok.
