Question [Off-topic] Has anyone got J! 1.5.8 -> 1.5.11 upgrade kit?

This is totally off-topic from Kunena. Has anyone got a Joomla upgrade kit for for 1.5.8 -> 1.5.11 ... or can you tell me where I can lay my hands on one, please? They've removed all the old J! 1.5.11 kits from www.joomla.org . :(

I don't have the file you want I'm afraid, but I'm curious, why would you want to upgrade to anything but the latest version of Joomla?

Hi sozzled,

try this one joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/10...le-Patch_Package.zip

Regards

I've spent the past two days, solid, trying to get my upgrades to J! 1.5.12 successful. No joy whatsoever. The updates to the TinyMCE editor have made a dog's breakfast of everything. It's either move my production websites to J! 1.5.11 or leave them as they are.

Everyone seems to have their own ideas on what the problems are. Some people claim that TinyMCE won't allow you to save changes to articles (I've had that on one website) while others vigorously deny it.

Some people have tried to revert to the TinyMCE that shipped with J! 1.5.11 (I've tried to do that ... completely unsuccessfully). As for TinyMCE and Flash/Shockwave video, no-one seems to have this working successfully at all!

Some people have experienced countless unresolved Javascript errors with the TinyMCE editor - so have I ( on one website) - but others haven't (as I have on two others). Some people claim that the extended mode is broke, or the CSS templates are crook, or you need to do tricks like a performing seal, or read the Wiki, or rename this-or-that, use the JCE or FCK editor, or no editor at all, or ... you name it; people are having problems (although it was suggested somewhere that someone who's still using Internet Explorer V2.0 is not having any problems at the moment ... and the world is flat and the moon is made of green cheese, too). And there are no solutions on the horizon! Like I said, I've spent two whole days trying to overcome one problem after another and I've decided to give the whole idea of J! 1.5.12 a wide berth.

Thank you, quila. I could kiss you, mate ... :kiss:

Lol, sounds like you're having a nightmare mate.
TinyMCE (in my experience) is great if you want to produce the equivalent of a bog standard word document. For anything else you have to turn it off and use raw HTML. Which sucks.
Hope you get it sorted.
