I have migrated my site from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5. There is a custom component developed by 3rd party which is not working properly in Joomla 2.5.
Now, I am facing challenges to get this done in the new version. I am not aware of the functions used in the component that are not working or throwing errors.
Can anyone share a list of Joomla 1.5 component development functions which are deprecated in Joomla 2.5 or should be updated?
For e.g. see the following functions/variable:
global $mainframe; // In Joomla 1.5
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication(); // In Joomla 2.5
I just want to make myself more clear that I am looking for joomla custom component migration from 1.5 to 2.5. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Below you find some usefull links but first here are some thoughts from my experience:
If your component is a state of the art Joomla 1.5 component, upgrading it to 2.5 won't be so hard (some / most components are not so well coded).
Think / search for a replacement that already works in 2.5, it may save you the trouble
Consider redoing / rethinking the whole component having in mind current web development standards / trends, changes to the Joomla! API.

I have created custom components in joomla like,event.In these component how i will add multilanguage features that's why i add title and content in a multilanguage?
First, it is important to understand that the Joomla multilingual features are not intended to be a full blown language manager. You will still need to use an additional language manager in order to truly display all of your content in multiple languages. Joomfish has been the most popular, but it does not have a version for 1.7/2.5 yet, though it is supposed to be released shortly. You might want to try FaLang, it's a Joomfish fork and 2.5 compatible. This should help -

How to add Joomfish to your component - http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_Joomfish_functionality_to_custom_components (this is for 1.5 but the process should be similar for 1.7 and FaLang)

I am currently developing an internal application for our company with the following requirements.
Rich GUI but only basic HTML like components will be used. So component list is not a deciding factor.
Fuzzy requirements which might change frequently during the implementation stage, and tight turn around times are the norm. Thus am looking for a Drag-&-Drop design
The application will rarely be used (max once in a month) and the user base will not exceed 20.
Time is a critical factor and thus I do not want to spend time on configuring and troubleshooting the framework. I will go for a easy to integrate solution.
I did a brief research and decided on JSF with IceFaces. But am now confused about the version. If I go with 1.8, I get Drag-&-Drop designing (Netbeans 6.5) but I will be stuck with JSF 1.2
If I choose ICEFaces 2.0 I will have to manually design the UI which might take more time.
Any suggestions on which version to choose?
If you can, go with the newest stable version. There are a lot of reason to use JSF2.
You can have drag&drop with ICEfaces2 too, at least in Eclipse (see the wiki). IDE integration is available for NetBeans, the release note mentions a palette (I'm not familiar with NetBeans, but it may be what you're looking for).
I have been looking for a JSF extension (Richfaces, IceFaces, and more) but all seem to be according to JSF1.x and ones for JSF2.0 are still alpha or in development and most of the documentation assumes you're using JSF1.2.
Is there any production well known extension available?
RichFaces 3.3.3 is compatible with JSF 2.0. It has however no full JSF 2.0 integration yet.
PrimeFaces 2.0 is already JSF 2.0 ready for months, it was the first to do so.
My opinion would be biased if I say PrimeFaces I guess :) So for real life experiences please see: http://www.primefaces.org/whyprimefaces.html
