Joomla 1.6.0 Beta 5 partial compatibility

We still consider this JMS Multisites Version as an alpha version for Joomla 1.6 event if it is stable for Joomla 1.5.
Here are the changes performed to increase the compatibility with Joomla 1.6 beta 5:

• Remove one Joomla 1.6 database patch that is replaced by new MultisitesDatabase API that allow update the protected JDatabase table prefix.
• Improve Joomla 1.6 beta 5 language file conversion to use "_QQ_" for the quote character.
• Modify the "Site" element to autorize multiple selection and also make it compatible with Joomla 1.6 beta 5.
  The "Site" element is used to display the list of JMS Multisites in the extension like "Article Sharing for JMS" or "Multisites Menu Item" and also in "Multisites Search" plugins.
• Modify the "Layout" element to make it compatible with Joomla 1.6 beta 5.
  The "Layout" element is used in the menu when defining a website creation form the front-end and to allow selecting a layout.
• Make the front-end compatible with Joomla 1.6 beta 5.

Other JMS multisites changes

• Fix a bug in JMS tools introduced in 1.2.33 concerning the action to share a component.
  The new possibility to exclude some share tables from a generic list were resulted in the impossibility to share the extension from the JMS Tools.
• Bundled with Joomla 1.5.20 files
• Bundled with Patch definition 1.2.40
  Add JMS Tools (install) definitions for :
  - Ninja Content,
  - Simple Caddy,
  - Sourcerer,
  - redEVENT,
  - redFORM,
  - Multisites Search plugins (MultisitesContent + MultisitesCategories + MultisitesSections);
• Add sharing definition for:
  - Simple Caddy,
  - redEVENT,
  - redFORM.

JMS Multisites version 1.2.33 is now partially compatibility with Joomla 1.6 beta 5.

It is now possible install JMS Multisites on joomla 1.6 beta 5.
We still consider this JMS Multisites version as an alpha version for joomla 1.6 even if this is the same stable code used with joomla 1.5.
The reason is that Joomla has changed plenty API that sometimes require that we implement specific things for joomla 1.6.
For the moment, it is possible :

• to install JMS Multisites on joomla 1.6 beta 5
• to create "fresh" slave site and install extension from the slave site. You can NOT uninstall an extension.
• to replicate existing slave site
• to display the extension installed (JMS Tools). The installation from JMS tools does not work.

Front-end website creation

Add a check when an alias link is already present on the disk with another value.
In this case this report an error and the slave site is not created.

Bundled with JMS Multisites Patch definition version 1.2.39

Add/modify patches

• Fix the patch for Community Builder 1.2.3 that moved some code into another source.
  If you try install the previous patch on CB 1.2.3, this result by the uninstall of all the patches.
  So it is required to use the JMS Multisites patch definition 1.2.39 or higher with CB 1.2.3.

• Add patch for CssJsCompress.

• Fix the patch for the Sermon Speaker 3.4.1.
  In fact with version 3.4.1, the patch is no more required. Now they save the configuration into the DB.
