Making a joomla 1.0 template work with the 1.5 version

The title pretty much says what I need to know...

For those who have modified a Joomla 1.0 template to work with
the 1.5 version, I would like to hear what you did, how hard
it was, etc....

 

1.5 templates look a lot more complicated than they actually are, it's not that difficult really. If you get one of the pre-installed templates and rename it to your own template name (and change all instances of the orignal name to your own) and put your html in the index.php and your css in the template.css files but make sure to use the new wording for the module positions it should be pretty easy. You can alter some of the other files if you like, but most of the meat is in the index.php and template.css just the same as it is with 1.x templates.

 

Awesome, thanks for that, it almost sounds like a copy-paste type of job, except for the "new wording" part.

Thanks for the help.

 

Here some information from the official Joomla site I used: http://docs.joomla.org/Migration

 

I read this page : http://docs.joomla.org/Migration

But it seems to only speak about the joomla part of migrating over to 1.5 from 1.0.

I did not see where it talked about templates.
