Joomla 1.0 version requests? was created by wlrdq

Someone e-mailed us and asked if we can make Joomla 1.0 versions of the JFBC extensions. I'm not sure how easy it will be, but I wanted to see what kind of demand is out there. If you would like to see a J1.0 version, just reply to this thread and let your voice be heard.

If you would like to migrate your site from Joomla 1.0 to 1.5, we also do consulting and can help.

The clock is ticking towards 7/22/2009:

Hi, sorry I'm so late. I just found this site.

I vote "yes" on having Joomla 1.0 versions.

I think there is a real need for J!1.0 extensions. Some of us have sites that are very complex, with large numbers of extensions that simply would take too much time and money to migrate over to the new framework. I am truly quite stunned at so many (including the main organization itself) who just slammed the door on us 1.0 webmasters. In the real world of business, even Microsoft knows better than to essentially force users to a new platform without 1) a very simple upgrade pathway and 2) strong backward compatibility that lasts for a very long time. There is neither, really, for complex 1.0 sites.

Enough of my griping.

Thanks for at least not forgetting about us!

Unfortunately, the original request was made at a time when JFBConnect was smaller and possibly easier to migrate. Also, since then, the Joomla group has come out and said that the last day of updates for Joomla 1.0 would be in July... and even before that, there hasn't been a patch release in over a year.

JFBConnect will not be migrated to 1.0. There is simply too much going on with it right now to devote our efforts towards it when there are other higher priority requests already out there. We perform 1.0->1.5 migrations as well, and while they aren't always exciting, we've always found upgrade paths for our clients on components, even if there isn't a directly compatible 1.5 version. It's not pleasant, but with the future having no guaranteed security releases for 1.0, I wouldn't recommend leaving any site on that infrastructure.

As for MS. The Joomla organization (like us) does not have the resources to dedicate to 2 separate branches of development on a very small budget. They have to pick and choose priorities, and I'm glad they're able to focus their efforts on better improvements over sustaining legacy products.

Good luck, and let us know if there's anything else out there we can help with. I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for.
