This morning I read a great post from our friends over at JoomlaPraise, about some of the changes involved in converting a Joomla Template from Joomla 1.5 to 1.6. Now that beta 4 has been released, with beta 5 scheduled to be released on July 12, it’s definitely time for template developers to start the process of converting their existing Joomla templates over to 1.6.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on a new free template (Witblits) and last week I decided to start porting it over to Joomla 1.6. Due to the lack of current documentation, there were quite a few things I had to just “figure out” by scouring through articles, comments, bug reports, discussion boards, etc.
I managed to figure out most of the issues I encountered and reading Kyles post this morning inspired me to contribute some of my findings to help make the transition over to Joomla 1.6 easier.
