hi there,

#1
sorry but i am a bit disapointed about your download/ demo area of the templates. just wanted to get an upgrade of community plus template of a newer 1.6 version, i just found 1.5 and 1.7. ??? you do not offer anymore? and if yes why do you still advertise with 1.6 out now on your frontpage??? also the upgrade of 1.6 is offered several times on your page, but if your in the download area it issn´t anymore???

dont understand the philosophy behind it, sorry?

question # 2: probably its not possible to run the 1.7 upgrade under joomla 1.6, right?

question # 3: if #1 and #2 are right, can you send me a download link for last 1.6 community plus version, dont want to upgrade again the whole system to joomla 1.7.

thanks for your answer.

chris

There is a J1.7 only version simply because J1.6 is no longer supported by Joomla. All users of J1.6 should update to J1.7. The homepage details regarding the J1.6 advertising have simply been overlooked with regards to this template.

thanks phill,

but ithen i know its not your fault, but then i don´t agree by the philosophy of joomla. i think its not a good idea to force anybody to update.
but anyway thanks for your fast feedback!!! 🙂

The thing is, however . . . no one is forcing anyone to upgrade.

In fact, I wrote a piece called The SMART & SENSIBLE Way To Upgrade addressing this very issue and the idea that it is neither necessary nor always sensible to run and upgrade to the latest version right when it comes out.

your probably right,

but however 1.6 got some mistakes and cause i started with joomla i dont want to stuck up with an old version.
only think is that 1.6 is just a half year old. so bit quick in my eyes – however.

in somehow i will deal with it – i have to ; ).

but tom may you can give a reply on an other toppic – but i will open a new thread.
may you will have a look
