Notes on Joomla 1.5 compatibility
From HAA Best Practices Wiki
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. (Or go back to GMaps Pro and upgrade it to work with 1.5, that may be easier.
- Event List. Current version works with 1.5 in native mode.
- Expose Prive - only in legacy mode - Have modified to work in 1.5
- Nice Talk - legacy only - no development - Working in 1.5, needs testing
- 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. This is not a function of 1.5. If you click the "Compatibility View" button in IE 9, then it works ok.
