Joomla! v1.5 Final

[ivgeo]

Joomla! is an award-winning Content Management System (CMS) that will help you build websites and other powerful online applications. Best of all, Joomla! is an open source solution that is freely available to everybody.

It is with great pride that the Joomla! community announces to the world the immediate availability of Joomla! 1.5 Stable [Khepri]. As a community of contributors, we have been through celebrations and tribulations. We have had fun, and we have worked hard. We have learned from and helped one another. What started two and a half years ago with a letter to the community has grown into a great opportunity for both the Joomla! project and community to benefit from these efforts and to consider our future.

The new joomla is much easier to use. Sadly there are few templates for it =(

[ivgeo]

Yes, but I think you can use templates for 1.1 if you turn on legacy mode.

Actually I tend to find more for joomla 1.5 than I do decent j1.

Try looking on bestofjoomla.com as there theme sections full of wonderful free designs for 1.5, it's actually depressing as they look much better than most of the free j1 themes and I can't upgrade yet do to intergration!

Goodluck!

P.s Joomla is much nicer, loved it before but for me I'd use it for all my sites. I'm attempting to learn to theme it! (taken up CSS etc)

Yeah, http://www.bestofjoomla.com/ is good resource site. I like their forum module FireBoard. Very promising forum!

I want to embed some swf game files into my Joomla project, I've been at it for two hours and haven't made much progress. I've tried making a new content item and placing <object>...</object> but that hasn't worked. I'm kind of stuck.

Anyone familiar with Joomla who may have some knowledge regarding my issue?
