rush_tech Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Joomla 1.7 Should make things a lot easier when it comes to updating your site and addons just need to migrate to 1.6+ now
speckytecky Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Have many people upgraded from 1.5 - from what I read here there was a reluctance to take the plunge?
Devontechie Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I am looking at upgrading my Demo Joomla 1.5 site to 1.7 and seeing what happens. 1
penfold Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Did you find anything to look out for? I am looking to upgrading to 1.7 soon(ish) and wondered if there is anything I need to be aware of?
beeswax Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 When I tried this on a practice site at home the upgrade worked perfectly, but when I tried the upgrade on a snapshot of our virtual webserver from 1.5.23 (it has to be this version, nothing earlier, such as 1.5.1, will work) to 1.7 using jupgrade it failed. After several attempts I gave up and now I'm developing a new school website in parallel with the old. 1
featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Make a complete backup of your site (all pages, databases, file structure, the works). Upgrade was smooth for me, but some experienced issues. I upgraded from 1.5.1 to 1.6.3 then 1.7 1
garethedmondson Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 I would love to take the Edugeej 1.5 template and get it upgraded to 1.7. I tried the other week but didn't have a clue what I was doing even though I followed a guide. :-) LOL. I've got a test 1.7 installed in the school space and am playing. :-) Gareth
