Joomla Upgrade Service

Staying current with Joomla upgrades & updates is the most important step towards protecting your Web site. That statement is straight from Joomla.org. If your Joomla site is not up to date, it is much more vulnerable to hackers, spammers and thief's. The developers of Joomla are focused on being one step ahead of these violators at all times, but the best they can do is create the updates. It is your decision to take advantage of them or not.

Sure, if you Google "update Joomla" you will find some instructions to do it yourself. Trust us, it doesn't always go as smooth as the tutorials do. There is TONS of room for error. There are different factors that come into play such as your website and hosting configuration. It is a MUST that your website (files & database) be fully backed up before any kind of update. This can also be difficult.

Joomla 1.0 to Joomla 1.5 Major Upgrade

Migrating a Joomla 1.0 website to Joomla 1.5 is much more difficult than a 1.5.x to 1.5.x update. In fact, upgrading from 1.0 to 1.5 is almost as much work as developing a new site from scratch. The Joomla 1.0 to 1.5 upgrade will preserve ONLY the content of your Joomla 1.0.x website. Many of your extensions will not be upgraded as well as your template. If you have a pre made template from Rockettheme or something, chances are we can find the 1.5 version but if you have a custom template, it will have to be recoded using Joomla 1.5 standards.

What can be transfered/migrated in a 1.0 to 1.5 upgrade?

  • Website Registered Users
  • All articles, sections and categories
  • Polls
  • Menus and menu structure


We use a custom migration script when we do 1.0 to 1.5 upgrades. The script can transfer some 3rd party components..

 

  • Artio JoomSEF
  • Community Builder
  • Docman
  • FacileForms
  • Fireboard
  • JomComment
  • Kunena
  • Letterman
  • Virtuemart

It is extremley important to note that any other extensions on your 1.0 website that are NOT stated above will be lost and have to be reinstalled and reconfigured after the upgrade.
