View source for Notes on Joomla 1.6 compatibility

There are major changes between Joomla 1.5 and 1.6.   Here's the status of the components we use:

*<span style="color:green">Community Builder 1.4 is compatible with 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Upgraded GMaps Pro 1.0 to work with Joomla 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Event List.  Beta version 1.0.2 works in 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Expose Prive - only in legacy mode - Have modified to work in 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Nice Talk - legacy only - no development - Have modified to work in 1.5.  We can no longer get licenses for this so we are switching to Kunena, which is 1.6-compatible.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Sticky Message Pro - Modified to run in 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">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.  Modified to work in 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">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.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Google Verify.  Modified xml.  Works fine in 1.6</span>
*<span style="color:green">CB Photo Gallery - 1.5 compatible, we are on 1.2 RC2, which is the latest. Works in 1.6  Can copy photo data..</span>
*<span style="color:green">Alternate Home works in 1.5 Native. Modified xml, works in  1.6</span>
*<span style="color:green">All Videos works in 1.5 Native. Working in 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Login Redirect works in 1.5 Native.  Works in 1.6</span>
*<span style="color:green">Add yourself to the reunion attendees fails. Fixed, minor changes to db access.  Updated for 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">Summary reunion list is ok.  Updated for 1.6.</span>
*<span style="color:green">HAA Reunion Mgr admin fails. Made minor changes to db access. Updated for 1.6</span>
*<span style="color:green">HAA Reunion CB plugin is ok.  Works ok in 1.6</span>

All of the components we are intending to use going forward are now working in 1.6.  We still need to test them thoroughly since there is a lot of new/modified code here.

Also we need to develop a conversion program to migrate the existing sites onto the new version.  This will be a fairly complicated process.

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.
