I'm currently working to convert the MusicBox extension for Joomla 1.5. The original extension worked only on Joomla 1.0 and the original developer has abandonned the project. So I decided to convert the code and use the Joomla 1.5 API.
Are you using MusicBox on your web site ? I'd like to know which sites use it. Post a comment with your site's URL.
If you want to help, you can join the project on JoomlaCode.org.
Also, I'd like to have data to test the extension. If you have a lot of artists in your MusicBox database, contact me. I'd like to have a MySQL dump of your data.
Hi there!
I'm very new on using the Joomla API and I'm also new to the whole PHP programming thing. Like almost a year of studies and two months of true experience with PHP and a week with the Joomla API.
I would like to learn a lot more on this subject and want to know how you convert this extension from 1.0 to 1.5 .
Cya!
Hi Petsoukos!
To convert an extension from the old 1.0 API to the new 1.5 API you need to find out what are the equivalent to the old functions, classes and constants in the new API. Check out those 2 site, they are very helpful :

Also the official Joomla documentation for developers :
http://docs.joomla.org/Developers
If you have any questions try the Joomla 1.5 coding forum http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=304, a lot of experienced Joomla developer are posting there.
