Make a name for yourself developing for Joomla 1.5!
Written by Kyle Ledbetter   

Make a name for yourself My main concern with choosing to go with Joomla 1.5 for JoomlaPraise.com was the lack of stable extensions for 1.5. Consider those concerns quelled, and allow me to announce my new favorite extensions:

RSform! - Thank goodness for this extension. I recently wrote about my frustrations with Fabrik. RSform is by far my new favorite form component for Joomla!
JomComment & MyBlog - The guys over at Azrul do a darn good job. I'm writing the article using MyBlog and I absolutely love it. MyBlog if effortless and works fantastic in 1.5. On top of that, the developers are very responsive on their forum and very nice guys.
phpBB3 & RocketWerx's phpBB3-J1.5 Bridge - I was a big fan of phpBB2 and missed it when I strive to stay 100% Joomla and refused to use bridges. I do think that FireBoard is a million times better then SimpleBoard/JoomlaBoard, but it just can't compare to phpBB3. Andy and the guys at Rockettheme did a great job with the bridge, it works perfectly.

This leads to my theory: Jumping on development of extensions for Joomla 1.5 has made way for new extensions as older extensions lag behind in converting to 1.5.

Ok, indeed, RSForm is a great product... BUT I don't agree. I have bought RSForm and it doesn't work at all with the incore Joomla 1.5 sef engine. When you want to quit your form, links are translated with a index.php extension inside of them that doesn't allow to get the asked page.

It's not normal for a component that costs 9€.
