I proudly announce the first stand-alone release of the Joomla! Update Manager version 1.5.1 for Joomla! 1.5 systems. This version fixes issues with the previous release and is now available in a stand alone form. To find out more, check out the "Joomla! Update Manager" entry on my open source site. |

Another common thread on the migration forum for Joomla! is how you transfer, or migrate, users between Joomla! sites. This guide will show you what tables you need to backup to transfer users between two Joomla! sites, including moving users from a 1.0 to a 1.5 site. This guide assumes that you want to wipe out the users on your target site and replace them completely with the users from the other site. |

Every so often I see on the Joomla! forum questions about how you can convert plain text passwords for use with Joomla!. Joomla! 1.5 uses salted MD5 passwords by default but will also happily authenticate users with plain MD5 passwords, upgrading them to their salted equivalent. So we'll go over some techniques for getting passwords up to scratch for Joomla! when coming from plain text. |

Update Manager and 1.5.12 |

If you have been trying to use the Update Manager to upgrade to the recently released Joomla! 1.5.12 you may have noticed that the system will prevent you and only upgrade you to 1.5.11 (if you aren't on it already). This is due to a timeout issue with Joomla!'s core archive handling process which causes the extraction of the package to fail and run out of time on some servers. Since I don't want to cause that process to fail and leave a broken site, I've pegged the upgrades to be limited to 1.5.11 for the time being until I release an update which ships a better archive extractor to handle this situation better.
I apologise for any inconvenience. |

Some times I wonder "Why Open Source?" and think how would I explain something that is almost second nature to me to someone else. I think I've worked out the answer: its about finding the best solution. But what is the best solution? |
