Sorry, my English is not perfect and thank you to spell checker which improves my level !
Here is some suggestions linked to extensions compatibility on the extensions.joomla.org site.
First issue:
It could be more easy to show the compatibility between the different Joomla! releases in all the displays (New extensions, Editor's Pick, Most Popular, etc.) as we have to open the detailed article to see the compatibility >:(.
Second issue:
The real compatibility of extensions is not so clear when a developper announce a Joomla 1.0 and Joomla 1.5 compatibility. Is it with legacy mode or not ? For each extension we have to read the extension article and in most of cases we finally find the information on the developper web site or in the release note. >:(
You could implement 3 compatibility levels (or more) as follow and request an article update to developers.
1. Joomla old release logo (Joomla 1.0 right now) = full compatibility with the previous release(s)
2. Joomla legacy logo = compatibility with the new release when the Legacy Mode is enabled
3. Joomla new release logo (Joomla 1.5 right now) = full compatibility with the new release (or with beta version)
Third issue:
You could perhaps implement a section to display all categories of Joomla! 1.5 extensions (full compatibility) and repeat this for each new Joomla! release ?
What do think about this ?
Kind regards,
