![]() ![]() Why fortunately? Because it was found free of charge as well asinitially bug-free analogue - AccordionFAQ with the necessary minimum of adjustable parameters and a supplemented set of themes. Fortunately, the authors abandoned it at the stage of Joomla 1.5. After I customized it for my needs, it has become quite good. On the old site I employed FAQ Slider Plugin - not too bad, but poorly written here and there. Sliding panel plugin to hide part of content. In spite of this little issue, I'm stating: developers did good job, transfer of the extension was quick and almost smooth. In new articles I've been getting used to insert the player into the tag. So I had to make a small change in the code. To use alignment, you need to put the plugin into div in the article, but it was edged with the tag on my old site. The only thing I didn't like in the new version - the guys stuffed the player window into container, which ignores horizontal alignment of paragraph. ![]() It took two minutes to manually restore the settings. All the same - audio, video, embedding Yuotube videos. Mediaplayer.Įverything was easy, the updated version of my favorite easy-to-use and light-weight JPlayer was available. In general - even better, I can recommend. Highslide JS has much more settings than Joomslide, there is also multilangual support at the JavaScript level. As the name implies, it uses the same engine. Developers did not bother to release a version for 2.5, so I was puzzled over looking analogue, and found another thumbnail viewer - Highslide JS. On the old site I used Joomslide, built on a wonderful library Highslide. Plugin for viewing images in full-size format. ![]() Let me describe briefly, which ones were in my own set at 1.5, and how difficult or easy it was to get the same or similar ones at 2.5. Under essential set I mean a kit of extensions used to provide more or less typical site functionality. The essential set of third-party extensions Meantime I want to note that if you have the desire and certain skills, transferring the editor when moving from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 should not cause much difficulty. The issue of setting up JCE Editor is planned to be the subject of a separate article. It requires a thorough setup though, otherwise it behaves like a smart aleck and provides results, interesting to itself, not to us. Tried it in operation, and appreciated even more than CKEditor besides it's absolutely free. And it just turned out that the component and plugin Highslide JS (which will be mentioned below) have some handy additions for the editor JCE. I found its version compatible with 2.5, installed - it works, but regularly forwards a proposal to buy the paid version, and does it very obtrusively. In Joomla 1.5 it was CKEditor - rather decent tool. I, however, had never been using it, but installed more advanced editors. Editorīasically, good enough and light TinyMCE is available in any version of Joomla out of the box (if you install it with the initial content). With it you can make a pretty decent design even having minimal understanding of HTML, CSS, and other basics of site building.Īnd finally, if you're not a professional web designer, but know exactly what is where and how to deal with it - you can use one of the previous options, and then manually bring the template to the desired condition. It is a payware, but is not that expensive. If you do not, but do not want to download or buy a ready-made one - there are tools to create templates. If you are capable of crating templates by yourself - why are you reading this? If the template has been ordered and made for you - order the same, but for new Joomla. ![]() If you use a third party template, and the developers rewrote it for the new Joomla - good luck, you can download or buy a new compatible version. Therefore, the installation of templates designed for 1.5 to newer versions is impossible by definition - they are just incompatible. Starting from 1.6 templates use the technology of div layout. Template, editor, and other extensionsĪs usual at the beginning - the appeals for reading introduction and for not forgeting about backup!Īs we know, Joomla 1.5 uses templates based on table layout, which is now obsolete. ![]()
