Discuss: One Giant Step for the Joomlasphere — Joomla! 1.5 Beta Released

[newart]

@Newart
I have tested your Virtus 1.5 template and have been playing with its CSS (mostly adding the missing ones). Not ready yet.

Thanks a lot! I'd like very much to hear from you that!

As per your suggestion I understand that all of us have to wait for discovering the real potential of the 1.5 template... but first of this discovering issue my idea is to ask for a new special free template directly who is involved in commercial template in J!. It's an idea, a bit strange but I hope interesting as They gain from Joomla! in template business but why not offering TO Joomla a free special template ?!?! I think that the 1.5 celebration with a good stuff of templates should be impressive!

A quick thanks for all your efforts on this baby!

Looking forward to taking advantage of the new dev framework!

will there be an upgrade path to 1.5x from current stable 1.0.11?

[RobInk]

Hi sailor,

It won't be an upgrade, but more of a migration. See http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... ,33/p,107/

Has anyone tried this migration with a Mambo db?

Hamster...

I don't know if the migrator component might work with Mambo (which stable version...)
As it is quite easy to upgrade from Mambo 4.5.2 to Joomla! 1.0.x, I would rather suggest to do this, and then do the migration to 1.5

Interesting combination to use the migrator component for Mambo. Maybe I will take a shot in the coming days/week.

On my own I think it's important to consider a certain amount of "conversions" from mambo expecially from the old 4.5.x series - there are a lot of this type of sites around yet.

It has been some months now since the 1.5 beta came out. Any ideas by what time we can expect a stable release. I have a project up my sleeves and if the stable release of 1.5 is coming soon, i would like to wait rather than first use the existing version and then migrate to 1.5 in a few weeks!

You can have a glimpse at http://forge.joomla.org/sf/tracker/do/l ... cker_1_1_x Here there is the real situation for a quick reply to your question...

Sorry for my second post, but having in mind your question I've used a little strange method for finding out the date. So If you like to know the 1.5 release stable date I made a funny post but perhaps the date is not as unreal as it seems, you have to think about Beta.x, RC.x and so on: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... 0.html#new

PS. this is only my own personal idea of a date, it's just a bet, only a bet. All right? bye
