February - Faster with Joomla!
User Rating: / 0

Valentine's day is creeping up and the shops are advertising Easter with Easter Eggs displayed in tantalising temptations. They really know how to move time along. No wonder it feels like the year flies by, its because its only February and they already have you dreaming about your Easter Weekend. As a great Afrikaans person of note once said "skanda"!

 

We're in the second month of the year and for some of you work has taken off like a rocket, for others who are more prone to vintage vehicles which have incredible value and longevity but need a bit of warming up first - work is slowly coming to life.

 

Either way, make sure you send us your Brag Rapsheet. We want to show all those looking in what Joomla! can do and how creative you can get. Often we can try and talk loads but websites speak for themselves and they are often the best advertisements for Joomla! If you would like to add the websites you have designed to the "Showcase" page , remember to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it the links and we will do the rest.

Migrating from 1.0.x to 1.5 Stable
User Rating: / 0

From Joomla! Documentation

 

 

 

The migration from Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 is handled for the most part automatically in two stages. The first stage is the export migration component for Joomla! 1.0 and the second stage is the import or migration phase of the Joomla! 1.5 installer. The system is automated due to a large number of changes that make data slightly incompatible between Joomla! 1.0 and 1.5, such as parameters for menus and content items. Whilst it is still possible to use a database dump to migrate, this is not advised as there will be data loss. This page aims to detail how to migrate from Joomla! 1.0 to Joomla! 1.5 with as much ease as possible.

Joomla! 1.5 Released

It is with great pride that the Joomla! community announces to the world the immediate availability of Joomla! 1.5 Stable [Khepri].  As a community of contributors, we have been through celebrations and tribulations. We have had fun, and we have worked hard. We have learned from and helped one another. What started two and a half years ago with a letter to the community has grown into a great opportunity for both the Joomla! project and community to benefit from these efforts and to consider our future.

Joomla! 1.0.14 RC1 Released
User Rating: / 0

Help Test Joomla! 1.0.14The Joomla! Project today announced the immediate release of Joomla! 1.0.14 RC1 [Daybreak], the first and hopefully singular release candidate for the 1.0.14 release cycle.  Several security issues have been discovered and addressed for this release.  While the required changes are not significant, the number of impacted files are significant and we need your help.  Before this release is declared stable we need to ensure that it works as well for you as it does for us. 

Those of you that are able and willing please download a copy of 1.0.14 RC1 and test it on a backup copy of your live site.  Make sure that the system works as good or better than Joomla! 1.0.13, our current stable release.  Any issues that you find please report in the 1.0.x Bug Tracker.  If you have questions on how to report a bug you should read the how-to and then if you still have questions please feel free to ask them in our 1.0.x Quality and Testing forum.

 

Since this release fixes security vulnerabilities, once you have verified on a backup of your site that everything works as expected we suggest that you upgrade your live site to this release.
