Upgrading from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 (Issue with Joomslide)

Post by sarayoo » Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:31 am

Hi all,

I've been trying to upgrade my Joomla site for a long time. Right now I've a 1.5.25 Joomla site using Joomslide image gallery plugin (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... mages/6750). I can't find any upgrade for this plugin to support any other versions than Joomla 1.5. I was thinking of using some other image gallery plugin similar to this and then upgrade to 2.5. But the problem is this: all my articles (about 100) use Joomslide for images and manually redoing all of these may be very difficult. Joomslide creates thumbnails and then click on it will popup the actual image...I've no clue how I can get out from this bottleneck. Anyone has any ideas/ suggestions for me?

Thank you a bunch!

Wow! Awesome, ImageSizer just did the trick! I installed ImageSizer for Joomla 1.5. First disabled Joomslide and then enabled ImageSizer. I was expecting to do lots of manual work in correcting images for each articles, but this was awesome, it simply worked amazingly!

Now, I can happily upgrade to 2.5 as all my other modules/ extensions/ plugins have versions that supports J 2.5.

Thanks!
