At this time JA still does not know whether there will be a big push to go and re-visit older templates and add new features to them. JA still have a number of components to update and test and those are the priority at the moment. JA Voice, JA Comment and JA JobBoard are examples of big components that are actively being worked on.

However, it is my understanding that our JA Devs have given the “thumbs up” to agreeing to update a number of our older J1.5 Templates – though there is neither a list nor timeframe we can provide at this particular time as to when this will occur. In the meantime, there ARE methods to update the Joomla version manually – from J1.5 to J1.7/J2.5 – instructions for which are available within our Member Community Forum Sections.

Hi there.

I have had security issues with our site running on Opal and we need to upgrade to 2.5.

From this post, it seems that you ave not upgraded Opal yet and my situation is urgent.

Can I please have access to the forum pages to work out how to upgrade the template myself until you decide to do it. My client does not want to change the look of their site.

Mel
