I don't know why joomla is not updating mootools with their updated version, joomla 1.5 still use mootools v 1.1, i tried to replace it with latest mootools version, but results are horrible, website stops working, everthing gone worst.
so please suggest me how to update mootools version into joomla without any problem.
Joomla 1.5.20 has plug-in for the Mootools 1.2.4 called "Mootools 1.2.4 Upgrade", but the plug-in is disabled by default.
If you are making a clean installation go "Admin->Tools->Plug-ins" find and enabled "Mootools 1.2.4 upgrade plugin".
If you are updating older Joomla system to 1.5.20, the plugin will be installed but it will not be visible because it will not have plug-in record in the database, therefore the plugin cannot be used. Here is a tutorial showing how to add this plugin when updating Joomla system from older version - http://www.boolcast.com/updates/mootools-124-upgrade-plugin-for-joomla-15.
Now that Mootools core 1.2.5 is out, i'd bet on it (hopefully) for J!1.6 RC.
And be aware that 1.5.20 mootools.js (in mtupdate plugin) contains More 1.2.4.2 (current version version is More 1.2.4.4).
Search the Joomla forums, there are several threads on updating Mootools.
In general, you can update the frontend pretty easily (assuming you don't want the built in Joomla functions or have components that rely on them). The backend is more problematic as it's built heavily around 1.1
Having said all of that, the latest versionof Joomla 1.5.20 has a plugin to allow you to update to 1.2. You could try updating?

In one of our website we are using CKEditor version 4.5.4. After Penetration testing, upgrading the CKEditor version to the latest one is recommended.
Functionality point of view we don't want to change anything. So, to which version we should upgrade either to 4.20.0 or to version 5. The target is to remove vulnerabilities.
We have a vue.js project in which we are using Vuetify 1.5.2. We want to upgrade to the latest version of Vuetify. Our first attempt to do this proved disastrous as it is an all-or-nothing move and as soon as we upgraded our version of Vuetify, everything across the site broke.
Now we are considering this again but we are looking at code splitting. What we are wondering is can code splitting be used to slowly migrate from Vuetify 1.5.2 to the latest version (2.3.19 right now)? Can we package our code in such a way that newer code is packaged the latest version of Vuetify but older code is packaged with the older version of Vuetify?
I'm afraid it will result in even more conflicts, and more time to ensure specific parts call the older version and some the newer. I'm afraid you will have to go the painful route of branching your project and slowly go through all the Vuetify issues.
Unless your front-end consists of multiple independent projects (each with their own package.json), then it could be done.
I have an app built using the legacy 2.x (2.1.4 to be exact) version of CodeIgniter. Now I want to upgrade. How would I do that?
Or is it even possible and easy?
Upgrade first from 2.1.4 to 2.2.0 by replacing all files in the "system" folder and then use the tutorial on the official codeigniter site.
I haven't tried this but it seems logical.
I'm updating a Joomla page for a friend of mine - and the version currently online (when it's not being brought down by hackers) is 1.5.20. As far as I can see, there are no update patches available to bring this up to date. I'm aware that I can't update this to a 2.x or a 3.x version, but if I at least could bring this up to the newest version of the 1.5.x releases, that'd be good for security.
So, what patch should I choose, and where can I find it?
From the Joomla docs;
If you are on the version prior to the current one, use the file that updates from the prior version to the current version (for example, Joomla_1.5.25_to_1.5.26-Stable-Patch_Package).
If you are on an older version, use the 1.5.0 to current version file (for example, Joomla_1.5.0_to_1.5.26-Stable-Patch_Package).
In your case, since you currently have 1.5.20 and 1.5.26 is the latest 1.5.x version released, the latter would be the correct choice.
Further update instructions are at the above linked docs, read them first, esp. when it comes to backing up the existing site.
There is no patch to upgrade from any Joomla 1.5 version to the current release.
The current Long Term Release (LTR) is Joomla 2.5, the lastest Short Term Release (STR) is Joomla 3.0.
Both of these are not directly upgradeable from any 1.5 version.
Your best bet would be to migrate using a tool such as:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/joomla-migration/15609
Please note that Joomla 1.5 is now unsupported, with no security patches issued to fix any vulnerabilities. Your Joomla 1.5 install will be getting unsecure, very quickly.
As Joachim said, backup first, restore at your leisure.
Please explain the difference.I know one difference is user management but what is also.
What is the difference in versions of Joomla CMS i.e. Joomla 1.7 and joomla 2.5 ?
The biggest diffrence between joomla 1.5 and joomla 1.6 is user management .
In joomla 1.5 version are already default 5-6 user management.
But in joomla 1.6 version you create own user managment.
One important consideration and difference is that version 1.7 reached end-of-life status on February 24, with version 1.7.5 being final release of that line. What that means is there will be no further enhancements or bug fixes performed by the core Joomla team on version 1.7 going forward.
The official guidance from the Joomla development team is that 1.7.5 should only be used by those "who for some reason are unable to update to version 2.5.1." The release blurb for 1.7.5 (found here) contains the guidance and EOL date mention.
As far as pure feature differences are concerned, the page dedicated to detailing the new features in Joomla 2.5 does a better job than I could discussing them. You may also want to take a look at the release notes for version 2.5.3 here, as this is the latest release at the time of this answer.
Hope that helps.
The bigger the number, the more recent the release.
If developing a new website, you should use the most recent release of Joomla, which is Joomla 2.5.
Joomla 2.5 is just as painful to use, but more stable than, Joomla 1.7
