components code migration to joomla 1.5

joomla_cms

I am  in the process of  moving all my open source project (7!)  to the latest Joomla API 1.5. I've tried to summarize in the following table some conversion rules

Right now there IS NOT any order in that table, like my findings :-)

Feel free to send me corrections or point me to  ressource links that may help me :-)

 
In Joomla 1.0.X has to be converted in Joomla 1.5 Where
mosMenuBar::startTable();
 JMenuBar::startTable(); PHP code
defined('_VALID_MOS') or die('Direct Access to this location is not allowed.'); defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' ); PHP code
require_once( $mainframe->getPath( 'toolbar_html' ) ); require_once( JApplicationHelper::getPath( 'toolbar_html' ) ); PHP code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<mosinstall type="component" version="1.0.0">
....		 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<install type="component" version="1.0.0">
....		 Installer XML file
global $database $database = & JFactory::getDBO(); PHP code
$mosConfig_live_site JURL_SITE PHP code
$mosConfig_absolute_path JPATH_SITE PHP code
$mosConfig_* $config->* PHP code 
$refid = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'refid');
 
$refid= = JRequest::getVar('refid');
 PHP code
Language files

are  PHP files, name like you want

<?php

DEFINE("JOOMLA_ASKIMET_ASKIMET_KEY_S", "Askimet Key:");
DEFINE("JOOMLA_ASKIMET_ASKIMET_KEY_L", "Your askimet key, can be request here for free, if you have a high intensive site, please require a commercial key to keep the system up and running");

DEFINE("JOOMLA_ASKIMET_ASKIMET_KEY_S", "Website URL:");
DEFINE("JOOMLA_ASKIMET_ASKIMET_KEY_L", "Website or Blog URL, if different than the JOOMLA site");

 Are now plain text files: ex en-GB.com_aksimet.ini
