Hi,

Aberystwyth is an excellent choice for a venue, especially as I live in Shrewsbury which is only a short train ride away.  :)

If you need a hand with anything, just ask.

Re: Documentation

No significant changes are being made to the codebase for 1.5 (with the single exception of the media manager refactoring).  It's just bug fixing.  So feel free to write up what you see.

Oh.  And have fun!  ;)

Re: Documentation

I finally found one of the "flowcharts" that I remembered.  You can use it as a starting point to create a new one.  The other one was for 1.0.x and is almost certainly irrelevant.  If you do create a new one, then please donate it back to the community.

Thanks,

Re: With 2 Database (Joomla + Data) insert don't work

In general it is best to try to use the API rather than calling the MySQL PHP functions directly.

Re: Writing Components/Modules/Mabots/Plugins for ALL versions. ( start 1.0.12 )

But in order to do this, there would have to be a common method of checking the version of Joomla that is running regardless whether it is 1.0.x or 1.5 or later. In version 1.0.x there was a class called joomlaVersion (version.php) that had methods that returned the version of Joomla. Unfortunately...

Re: Joomla! Version 1.3.4

A lot depends on what legacy code you need to support.  If you have no legacy code then I'd say forget 1.0.x and get right into 1.5 as it has a better, cleaner, simpler API.

I seem to recall there being a flowchart for 1.0.x but I can't seem to find it right now.  I doubt it would be of much use for 1.5 anyway.

There will be no changes to functionality in Joomla! 1.5 as it is being driven by Q&T and not the developers.  In other words, the only changes being made to 1.5 are bug fixes which are required to get the code to its stable state.  No features will be added.  When development starts ...
