The only difference is that joomfish does not support yet 1.7 and thus multi lingual content is not possible on 1.7 The main difference between 1.5 and 1.7 is the ACL functionality. For the rest, it's roughly the same from a user stand point. The only thing is that joomla 1.5 will phase out next year. So you might want to plan for the long term and upgrade your website...

Is it a big task if i get your 1.5 shop version now, put it on site run as normal then mid next year to go over to 1.7? My hosting uses a shared ssl, i assume this is ok as long as i put correct path in correct field. Basically i need to get cracking now to catch xmas, but at same time i do or will need to upgrade, doing next year will suit me better unless you can give me a reason not to.

So it not really complicated for HikaShop itself as it is the same package you will use for any version. Here is a short explanation of what you need to do to move HikaShop from a 1.5 website to a 1.6 website: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/forum/4-how-...joomla-16.html#16556](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/forum/4-how-to/16550-upgrade-to-joomla-16.html#16556) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzI4NzE0LWhpa2FzaG9wLW9uLTEtNS1vci0xLTc/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation.
