Joomla Component Migration Guide (ver.2)

Fundamental API description for ver. 1.5.2

Overview

Joomla framework version 1.5 was re-engineered from previous versions towards new object oriented architecture. Oldier extensions (modules, components, plugins) can mostly run under Joomla 1.5 in legacy mode (standart plugin of Joomla 1.5.x). For native run (without legacy mode) here is necessary to adjust / re-write extension code to meet the implementation of the new architecture.

This API migration guide is intended to support reengineering of Joomla components from ver.1.0.x to new version 1.5.2. Here are selected only fundamental classes and functions of Joomla 1.5.2 used in the most cases of migration. When you need more informations about here not listed artefacts please look into full API documentation on Joomla site.

This documentation is generated in standart manner from the official Joomla 1.5.2 source code.
