Enable Legacy Mode in Joomla 1.5 |
Wednesday, 01 July 2009 10:34 |
The CMS Joomla 1.5 has a new framework with code completely re-written and built with PHP 5. A lot of existing modules, extensions and plugins for Joomla version 1.0.x could then not work properly.
Enabling the Legacy Mode could be a solution in some cases, most of the times suggested directly during the 1.0 module or plugin installation process. Legacy Mode is a framework able to deal with old 1.0 joomla APIs.
To enable the legacy mode, simply follow steps: - Login to Joomla Administrator panel (www.domain.com/administrator); - click on Plugin Manager on the Extensions in the main horizontal menu as per the below image.
Locate then the plugin named "System - Legacy"; click on the check box in front of it and the on Enable button.
Legacy status will appear on the top right corner, and the Enabled column for "System - Legacy" will be ticked. |
