I have just switched over from Mambo based on my analysis on the Mambo vs. Joomla future.RobS wrote: You can implement the hack that I described earlier if you would like the old behavior. You will not have to hack it after every new release because this is the last release in the 1.0.x series. The behavior of Itemid in 1.0.12 is like the behavior in 1.5, that is what the future will hold. If you don't like this behavior, you probably will not like the way Joomla! 1.5 works and the hack I describe above will not work on Joomla! 1.5.
If what you say is true, I must say that I was wrong about Joomla being THE winner between these two.
Hopefully, you will find time to rethink this decision which will affect how many current users look at Joomla.
I must say - how can you look at URL changes as a good thing, is beyond me.
I have a 4000 unique visitors and thousands of articles site, layout is largely based on modules position.
If there is not a way too keep my URLs (btw, I print my URLs in promotional material) and current behaviour of articles and sections, I am quite stuck.
PLEASE reconsider at least a configuration option that would allow users to use Joomla and keep their current layout and content.
Thank you.
