Joomla 1.0 to 1.5 Upgrade - Lasertech Discos

The owner of the site www.lasertechdiscos.co.uk came to us because he was experiencing some problems with his website which was still running under Joomla 1.0 after his hosts upgraded to PHP5. He therefore asked us to upgrade his site to Joomla 1.5 as a matter of urgency since his site was non-functioning over one of the busiest times of year for him.

We therefore rebuilt his site’s template in a Joomla 1.5 compatible format then exported and imported all content from the old site to the new one.  Since this upgrade isn’t always a straightforward process we then had to go back through each page and verify it was working and looking as it should.  In addition we had to research and install/configure several extensions that his site was making use of to their Joomla 1.5 equivelants including an MP3 player, a gallery component and a contact form.

We performed the upgrade within a week or so of being asked and the site was once again live and functioning!

Upgrading from Joomla 1.0 to Joomla 1.5 is not only a good idea when your site stops working properly because of hosting upgrades but it is actually now essential for security reasons.  Since Joomla 1.0 reached end of life in the Summer of last year it is no longer being upgraded or patched which potentially could mean security problems for you and your site.

If you have an existing Joomla 1.0 site then we recommend you upgrade it immediately to Joomla 1.5 in order to ensure it is secure.  Once this is done you will also have access to all the latest components and plugins for the system – contact us for more details on how we can help!
