Discuss Joomla! 1.5 Beta-2 — The Developers' and Designers' Revolution!here.

And we're rockin' now ...

The Barchetta is nice but I must say, I do like Louis' Goggomobil.

To everyone on involved in this last big push.  Congratulations.  I'm proud to be part of this amazing team.

Well done Team Joomla! Great effort!

- Chris

Great work everyone.  But what is a "Red Barchetta"?

Regards,
Chris.

Please note that Joomla 1.5 beta 2 is incompatible with Community Builder 1.0.2 (unlike Joomla 1.5 beta 1).

I just had to let go off my own work to test report my findings. Frontend and backend are both broken. That is a fact.

I also hear this won't be looked into for this release. This makes some ppl that worked so hard to bring compatibility between joomla 1.5b2 and CB 1.0.2 emotional. Mildly put.

Respect,
~Trail.

Tidy.
[me=Vimes]toddles off to see what you've broken in *omres this time.[/me]

Hearty congratulations and HUGE thanks to our Joomla! developers and to all - core team - working groups - community volunteers - who have contributed to this day! What a great way to kick off the Joomla! Day USA West! Have fun! 

Well done everyone.  Certainly a great day.  The only thing lacking is instructions on how to pronounce the name of the car

I'm looking forward for the stable release of 1.5. Keep it up! Thanks to all core dev.

Regards,
-Jd

Congratulations to developers and all the core team!

Great news, congrats to all dev team!

Gonna have to install it right away and start testing.  Great job everyone!!

Congratulations dev-team!

Very well done!  Keep the good work goin'. I'm looking forward to the releas candidate.

How should we use the Barchetta badges. And what makes me an official beta tester?

Trail, backend seems to work ok under legacy mode - send me a mail if you continue to have problems.

Note to everyone wanting to turn on "Legacy Mode".  It's a plugin.

Select "System" from the "- Select Type -" drop down.

Click the publish icon for the " System - Legacy".

Legacy mode is used when you want to install extensions written for version 1.0 until the authors have been able to rewrite them for the 1.5 framework.  Authors and users, please report any incompatibilities you find to the Q&T forum. (http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,199.0.html) - don't use this thread.  It's quite possible we missed a few little things.

Hope this helps some beta testers.

If you've downloaded it, and get to the first install page you are a certified, official, passed with first-class honours beta-tester

Congratulations to all involved.

I can't believe I'm going out today and won't be able to play until get home.

Thank you to all involved for your hard work and persistence. You are creating something very special.

Cosmic...

yay!! I guess I will forget the "non-GPL extensions" discussion for a while

You've done a great job dev team! Now let's test the little baby

Congratulations!

It must have been really hard for KoolAcid to keep this quiet at the Toronto Joomla!day earlier this week. 

Yay!

It is soo great that Joomla! has come so far so quickly!
I am keenly awaiting the final release of Joomla 1.5 and some commercial 1.5 templates

Is Legacy Mode still in 1.5 Beta 2?

Cheers,
James

Great milestone, far in advance to my personal "guess" planning

Keep up great job
Franck

Uff - yes it was hard for all of us to keep quiet .

Many thanks to all helped in this, not only development but also testing and the translations.

Now it is up to all of us with testing, testing and again testing.

Cheers

Alex

Congratulations Joomla Community, Core Developers, and everybody else who participated through the process. J1.5 is a wonderful framework with a great API. I have already been using it for some commercial projects and preaching about to everyone around me.

It is so much fun to develop using the new framework and API and I urge all the developers to give it a try and get the kind of experience I am talking about. I am already looking forward to the 1.5RC1 and 1.6

Joomla is the best! Forget the rest!

confirming Trail's comments.

CB backend and frontend broken with Joomla 1.5 beta 2.

Installation work ok (in legacy mode).
No tabs appear in backend (js error).
No tabs or menus in frontend (also js error)
CB Login module no longer logs in.

Also agree with Trails hurt feelings ...

Wooow, guys this is fantastic. Congratulaions with the next milestone. All that hard work that has gone into it.
Realy proud. I like the car, nice one.  :D

This is a nice message for me to start the day with, I can tell you that. Because it is Liberation Rememberance day of the 2nd WW.

Nice work everyone.  Installing right now

Try this, Eddie:  Baarstjetta 

masterchief wrote:The only thing lacking is instructions on how to pronounce the name of the car

Well, it's an Italian name. (It's the diminutive form of "barca" = boat, so it means "small boat"). The Italian way to pronounce it is something like
"baar-kett-ah"

I saw it coming, she said -and wiped her glasses... as the language packs in the installer were updated yesterday.. must be for a good reason. Wow, 5 Mb download..? Is that fonts, libraries or what? Andrew, cool new picture of you!

Bug report: the link to "support us with a badge": http://dev.joomla.org/content/view/2335/100/ gives me a blank page?!

Sorry for trail and nant, I know you've collaborated and helped debugging 1.5 so far and it must hurt to see it not treating your baby well..

Onwards to stable now!

Not a bug: Dev site is down at the moment.

Regards,
Chris.

ok, so if a site is down it's not a bug? glad there's a valid reason.. good luck fixing, expect high traffic.. and thanks to all for getting beta2 ready.
