Joomla 1.5.15 wa realeased For along time, but today I write this article because I had Just fixed many problems when I update to 1.5.15 version. Maybe this is The versions which have many Bugs when you update . it takes me 2 weeks to fixing. If you have a Joomla website for bussiness or a large website using Joomla, and have not updated,You must be careful when decide update or not. In this article I will talk about errors you may encounter when update and How to fix it

Browser And Joomla

The first, I thinkThere are many errors come from your browser. Now All of browser use HTLM5 and new tech, but some Joomla code can have problems with it. I detect this when I use older browser ( Safari 4) and Firefox latest versions  (3.5.6). I can not Insert Image and "Read more" Line with Firefox But with Safari and Chrome every things is normal. If you don't have any errors warning But can not insert Image, LInk and Read more Line, Problems can come from here. Best solution is wait Joomla update to Joomla 1.5.6 and use other browser

Tiny Editor Get some errors,This is popular problems when update to Joomla 1.5.15

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can not Save or Cancel articles while editing in front end

- download the tinymce.zip file, see below
- unzip the file
- replace the file located at: plugins/editors/tinymce.php

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happend to the Media Manager?

- download the view.html.zip file, see below
- unzip the file
- replace the file located at: administrator/components/com_media/views/media/view.html.php

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I upgraded from joomla 1.5.14 - 1.5.15 and now my editor does not appear. All files are transferred when I upgrade, the error that occurs in explorer is like this in attachment.

Try to change component.php in your template folder (administrator/templates/system). you change that file with 1.5.14 version of file.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After upgrading to 1.5.15 with the patch package I am not able to inserst images in an article.

Try setting the following parameters in the Editor - TinyMCE plugin. Use Plugin Manager (Extensions -> Plugin Manager) for this.

(a) Functionality to Extended
(b) Code cleanup on save to Never or Front Only

I get this errors on 2 website, one of it was fix But another site can not.If this errors can not fix, You can use CKEditor . I tested it. Ok

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've just upgraded my site to 1.5.15 and none of the installed editors are showing up. I've tried JCE, TinyMCE, no luck. Could you tell me how to fix this?

Solution:
Either upgrade the component to a 1.5.x native version of JCE (don't know if that exists, you do the cyber leg-work please) or uninstall it and make another editor (TinyMCE) your default editor or choose another by the User Manager!

Recommend:
Stay away from components/plugins/modules that require the legacy plugin to be enabled!
Why?
You will save yourself some headaches and Joomla 1.5.x will soon be the legacy system, so learn to let go of older extensions and find something new. It probably does it b

etter anyway!

If you can not fix, you can try another way

1. Go to [Admin/Site/Global Configuration], under [Site/Default WYSIWYG Editor] select TinyMCE or No Editor as your default and click save.

2. Go to [Admin/Site/User Manager] and click on your current login 'Name' and under [Parameters/User Editor] select JCE as your editor (probably Editor - JCE 154).

3. Now go back to your Article/Custom Module and see if the editor appears. If not, go back to [Admin/Site/User Manager] and click on your current login 'Name' and under [Parameters/User Editor] select TinyMCE or No Editor as your editor for this current login.

4. Go back to your Article/Custom Module and see if the editor appears. If so, then you know it is a problem with JCE alone (more than likely). If the editor still fails to appear / the problem fails to resolve; then did you install another new component/plugin/module/template recently that could cause the problem? Try un-installing those one at a time until you get success!

Note added: If the above fails...

5. Re-install Joomla, you may have broken something or a third-party extension could have?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After upgrading to 1.5.15 now I get JPAGE_CURRENT_OF_TOTAL displayed at the bottom of the page just below the page navigation.

Fix is easy. You also have to upgrade your language pack.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I experienced an error after upgrading, and all the contents are not loading and the error causes by the line 209 of pathway.php where you can find in this path: \libraries\joomla\application\pathway.php

Maybe this problem come from Your PHP versions. I guess you use PHP 4.x.. This problem can solved when you update to PHP 5.x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After upgrade to 1.5.15 my rss reader shows error on each page - problem with loading the data - I tried some other rss modules other than joomla native and same happends!

Was the htaccess.txt file in the Joomla! install directory renamed to .htacces

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I upgraded to 1.5.15. I just discovered that the TinyMCE 2.0 editor is gone now?? When I open an article, it only shows the text as html code with tags. How can I get TinyMCE back??

You could consider this a blessing and install JCEditor! Its light years ahead of TinyMCE. Errors will be fixed

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I tried to upgrade my Joomla! website from 1.5.14 to 1.5.15 I get the error:"Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package."

I believe that you are using the Extension Manager for Installing the Upgrade. Joomla! upgrade is simply copying the patch files over the existing files in the site.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When upgrading from 1.5.14 to 1.5.15, I found out that the file pathway.php file located in the libraries folder was giving me a lot of trouble.

This message is caused by a bug in PHP version 4 and a change made for Joomla! version 1.5.15. For version 1.5.15, we fixed tracker issue 18493 to correct a problem where UTF-8 (non-ASCII) characters did not display correctly in the breadcrumbs module. However, this bug fix used a feature that doesn't work correctly in some older versions of PHP.

 

To correct this problem, upgrade your server to use PHP version 5. If that is not possible, you can make a change to line 209 of the file libraries/joomla/application/pathway.php. In version 1.5.15, this line is as follows:$item->name = html_entity_decode($name, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');


To fix this problem on a site running PHP 4.x, change line 209 to:

$item->name = html_entity_decode($name);

If you like, you can make the following code change instead of the one above. This will allow the function to correctly display UTF-8 if the site is running PHP 5.x. Replace line 209 with the following lines:
if((version_compare( phpversion(), '5.0' ) < 0)) {
$item->name = html_entity_decode($name);
} else {
$item->name = html_entity_decode($name, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
}

So the entire function will now be as follows:
function _makeItem($name, $link)
{
$item = new stdClass();
if((version_compare( phpversion(), '5.0' ) < 0)) {
$item->name = html_entity_decode($name);
} else {
$item->name = html_entity_decode($name, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
}
$item->link = $link;
return $item;
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you get some another errors,  send it and We will fix together

Thanks for this article. I was about to update and this would have gone on over 100 business sites, and you have saved me a major heartache and headache. I long ago learned that newer is not always better than older, and to be wary of any new changes. To be honest, I just wish they, and wordpress, would just stop with all of these continuous updates. Can't they just get it right the first time? Or do they have nothing more to do than try to cook up what they think are neat widgets just to keep the fire of interest going for them? When it is not a hobby site, but a business site, this can be a super aggravation.

schedule upgrade can help Your website More security. And I think you should do it, But back up your data before make any change. And you can restore data If having problems

If you have a large website. I think you should test it on localhost( same PHP,MySQL, Apache version) and upload it again!
