Question Joomla legacy mode and Kunena

Moderator's note: topic split from cb.wall.php causes RSS feed error: XML Parsing Error: junk after document element

Well the only component that's holding the legacy switch on my site currently is Marketplace . I have the version 1.4.6 and the new version which is 1.5 native don't have option to import the old ads (i can import them but without images which is useless) :S

i'm thinking what's the best solution, should i go for new component with better options and start the ads from scratch or leave the site in legacy mode :S

As you see, Baze, I split your last message from another thread because we have now introduced a new subject. I will refer to your comments about your need to use J! 1.5 in "legacy" mode here.

We have had similar discussions about the ongoing need to run Joomla 1.5 in legacy mode to permit compatibility with J! 1.0 things - see What is the difference between Joomla 1.5 "native" and "legacy" mode - but those discussions were a very long time ago when J! 1.5 was relatively young.

I felt that this was such an important subject, I wrote a Wiki article about it: see Legacy mode

J! 1.5 is now a quite old, in terms of software, having been around for over 2½ years. J! 1.6 is getting closer day-by-day to be released and, if there's one thing you didn't know, there's no "legacy" mode in J! 1.6 to allow non-compliant J! 1.5 software to run with it.

The important point that I want to make is this: in the world of highly-disposable software - like the internet - where the new software you serve on the table at dinner time tonight is stale by breakfast time tomorrow morning, there is only a handful of good reasons why you should be hanging on to relics of the past ... such as software written for Joomla 1.0!

Joomla! 1.5 "legacy" mode has negligible impact from the end user's perspective and there is little appreciable difference both in functionality and performance. The important matter is that this feature is only a transitional feature that won't be available in some future version of Joomla!. For users who want to future-proof their Joomla! installations, they should try to eliminate their dependence on legacy mode, where possible, and shop for products that are built as Joomla! 1.5 native extensions. That's really the bottom line: most customers want to run Joomla! 1.5; it's the market that's driving developers to stay focused.

Eliminate your legacy mode components as soon as you possible can. J! 1.0 was officially retired on 22 July 2009 (that was a year ago) and there is no support for J! 1.0 software.

Thanks sozzled, a tap on the shoulder i needed. I'm searching for descent ads component which will replace my current one, and finally i'll flip that legacy switch to off

EDIT: Done, no more legacy label on my site
i wonder if this would solve the issues with the [img] tags on the forum..

Please important advice for K 1.6 users about Legacy Mode

I have a lot of modules and plugin in joomla 1.5...how to find older components that need joomla legacy mode for removing them and turn off legacy mode ?
Thanks in advance...

Go to installer and select components/modules/plugins tab. Last column should be green for J1.5 native extensions.
