Joomla 1.0 vs Joomla 1.5

This used to be a question which was quite difficult to answer when Joomla 1.5 came out. Today, we recommend a very different answer than our original answer.

Recent announcements by the Joomla team have stated that support for Joomla 1.0.x will be stopped around June 2009, which means that you should start thinking right now of upgrading your Joomla 1.0 website to Joomla 1.5 if you still haven't.

If you are wondering whether to choose Joomla 1.0 or Joomla 1.5, there is no doubt of your choice. You MUST go for Joomla 1.5. There are very few things which Joomla 1.0 can do better than Joomla 1.5. The only excuse which you can have is if there any components which are not supported by Joomla 1.5. Fortunately, most components are available for Joomla 1.5, if not in native mode, at least in Legacy mode.

Joomla 1.0 vs Joomla 1.5? Definetely Joomla 1.5!

DART Creations  - Joomla 1.5   |85.232.196.xxx |2008-03-16 07:53:34 There will be some small bugs in Joomla 1.5, however if there is a stable version out, that means most of them would not affect 90% of users. The problems you are probably experiencing are not with Joomla itself, but with 3rd party plugins which are not yet compatible. Your decisions should be this. How many 3rd party components do you need for your site? If you need a lot, then go for Joomla 1.0.x, if your site does not need 3rd party components, go for 1.5

asma  - joomla 1.5 again!!   |213.6.65.xxx |2008-03-17 06:21:04 thanks for your replay,i need really to add flash interface to site for example,a nice menue with some effects,somethings like that,i wont my site to be nice looking.i really can't take my descison will u help me to do that??

DART Creations  - Joomla 1.5   |217.145.5.xxx |2008-03-17 06:52:25 There are more available plugins for Joomla 1.0.x, since its been around for much longer. If I were you, I would install them both, and see which modules you like and test them on both, so you see if they work correctly. Also, if you need a great looking site, take a look at the Free Joomla Templates article to the left, and browse to Professional Joomla Templates. Joomlart have great looking templates, and I strongly recommend you go for one of those.

DART Creations  - Joomla 1.5   |217.145.5.xxx |2008-03-17 13:22:49 Yes, if the module is strictly necessary for your site, then go with Joomla 1.0.x. This is what we recommend if you need lots of 3rd party functionality.

Derek Conjar  - Flash Intro   |71.248.78.xxx |2008-06-12 14:24:22 asma, The JSN ImageShow module allows you to make flash intros from pictures directly within Joomla. Otherwise, you can just design the flash intro in Flash and implement it in the template or the front page.

Ben  - You didn't explain why though...     |76.68.110.xxx |2009-03-14 13:19:02 I am still trying to figure out why should I switch to 1.5. I don't care for the small modifications in 1.5 when it comes to installing extensions. I use 1.0 for the extension variety available. Always along with sh404sef. Is 1.5 more stable, more compatible with xHTML, or what other advantages are there?
