Client Site Upgrades Joomla 3 to Joomla 5

joomla5_sql8

WE have started the project to migrate all Atol Solutions managed sites to Joomla 5. 

Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.x are no longer supported. Joomla 3.10 finished the Security Support Phase. So time to migrate to Joomla 4 & 5.

Embracing Change:…Why Joomla 5’s Requirement for MySQL 8 is a Leap Forward

an interesting article.

This upgrade is lots of work as software suppliers have either decided to stop Joomla Development or stopped all together. This means sites need, replacemenent of template, convert K2 publishing to native Joomla content, replace K2 modules or alter source and much more.

Together with our Partners in India we started the project and sofar have finished 3 complex sites.

If you have a need for similar migration of your site, contact us.

About Schagen

b2ap3_thumbnail_Coat_of_arms_of_Schagen_20130922-174043_1.pngSchagen has been mentioned in various texts from around 975. One of them was a population count that found that 43 people were living there. Schagen was also mentioned in documents as Scagha from around 989. At this time Schagen was a center of artificial dwelling hills. Perhaps the name refers to Scagha to its location above land water: it could mean "elevated point". Some time later, there is a coastline near Schagen. When the sea retreated again at the end of the 13th century the places in the region grew. The land around Schagen was especially fertile, so it grew and remained the main town in the area.
