Are there any RT members who have used Joomla 1.5 in the Legacy Mode? If so, can we see the results?
Thanks!

I just installed it to see if it would work, and it seems to be working fine >>
www.churchwiz.com/beta
which is using the Carbonation theme and is running in Legacy mode.
Also tried installing the Joomlahacks 2.0 bridge for fun and it installed but failed on patching the files. Oh well.

Legacy Support didn't work for me, at first, but I downloaded the fix in a nightly build and it works fine now. I've got 1.5 running on Joomla Server on my local machine. I have the VersatilityII template loaded.
Anyone else?

I installed Joomla 1.5 (nightly build) in a subdomain of a test site.
Most rt templates work without problem, except Technopia:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: initmodules() in /home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxxxxx.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/templates/rt_technopia/rt_modules.php on line 21. - Yves

For Joomla 1.5, since it's a complete re-write of the code, it only works with templates that are made specifically for 1.5. However, there is a function (Legacy Support) that enables Joomla 1.5 to use templates made for Joomla 1.0.11 (current version) and earlier.
The term 'Legacy' is used in business to refer to a previous version - software, hardware, pretty much anything. For example, at Verizon Online, we refer to the previous look and feel of the Verizon Online website as the 'legacy design'). We refer to the old ways of programming web applications as having 'legacy code'.
In US broadcasting, ABC, CBS and NBS are called. by some, as the 'legacy networks', because of the advent of cable and satellite channels which took a lot of viewership from them. They are the previous generation of what the electronic media has become.
It's just a classy way of saying the previous or older version.

I don't like the "Legacy" version of Mike VanKirk....he used to drink too much alcohol... ;D
Nicely explained Dave.
Cheers,
Mike

I tested one of the older templates, and it seemed ok.
Was just pretty much a default install, I haven't adjusted anything.

I only had a quick play around to see what the backend was like though, I'll probably give it more of a thrashing when it gets to RC stages.
