Notes on Joomla 1.5 compatibility

Joomla 1.6 has dropped the ability to run pre-1.5 components in "compatibility mode." This means that any component that we expect to use on Joomla 1.6 must be "1.5 Native". Here's the status of the components we use:

• GMaps Pro 2.0 RC2 is compatible with 1.5, I've installed this version and it is buggy. We need to wait for them to clean it up.
• Event List. Current version works with 1.5 in native mode.
• Expose Prive - only in legacy mode - no development
• Nice Talk - legacy only - no development
• Sticky Message Pro - latest version is 1.7.7 (which is installed) and is 1.5 native
• 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.
• Google Analytics Bridge - 1.5 native
• CB Photo Gallery - 1.5 compatible, we are on 1.2 RC2, which is the latest
• Alternate Home works in 1.5 Native
• All Links works in 1.5 Native
• Login Redirect works in 1.5 Native
• Add yourself to the reunion attendees fails. Fixed, minor changes to db access.
• Summary reunion list is ok
• HAA Reunion Mgr admin fails. Made minor changes to db access.
• HAA Reunion CB plugin is ok

NOTE: There are a number of admin features that don't work with IE 9. Not sure if that's just because I'm on IIS or whether it's a problem with Apache, too. Need to install on an Apache server and test.
