Last week, the Joomla Extensions Team made a welcome change in how they are asking third party developers to post their extensions to extensions.joomla.org.
Previously, you could search for extensions that work with 1.5, but the results would include many (if not most) that only worked in legacy mode.
Well, that's been solved.
Developers were sent an email asking them to take advantage of a new feature.
We ask you to log into JED and set the compatibility settings for your extensions. The extensions can be set to be: - 1.0.x compatible - 1.5 legacy (run with legacy plugin) or 1.5 native
This means that you will soon be able to search specifically for Joomla 1.5 native extensions!
If you are using a template that was designed for 1.0 in 1.5 in legacy mode, you might have found a small problem with table headers disappearing. The issue is caused by slight different XHTML output in 1.5.
The issue looks something like this:
If you click and drag your mouse, you will see that the words *are* there (the header titles), but they are not using the correct CSS.
This is because in Joomla 1.5, the columns are sortable by clicking on, say, date. This makes them all links.
