Joomla 1.5 is not supported by the Joomla project for quite some time now. You still can continue to use Joomla 1.5, but (security) updates will no longer be released. Furthermore, both Joomla 2 and Joomla 3 have many new features and improvements. Perhaps you recognize it: once you use Joomla 2 or Joomla 3, managing a Joomla 1.5 website really feels old-fashioned and you notice how greatly Joomla actually improved.

You should really migrate Joomla 1.5 websites to a Joomla version that is currently supported by the Joomla project. Unfortunately there are still many Joomla 1.5 websites around, because of various reasons. No time, no budget, no motivation, hold off, etc..

Sometimes it’s because of the complexity of a migration. Recently Sander had to migrate a Joomla 1.5 website with complex conditions. A great challenge and in this session he will share the lessons learned with this project and tips & tricks to help you migrating any complex Joomla 1.5 websites you might have.
