Find Native Joomla 1.5 Extensions Easier

Posted on Apr 04, 2008
Tagged in pluginsmodulesjoomla.orgjoomla 1.5extensionscomponents

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!

Go JED team!

Thanks for the info. This will help a lot when weeding through extensions.

FYI, you've got a typo: "but the rsults would include many"
