MooTools 1.2 is finally in Joomla!

I'm happy to say that my previous post about using a modern version of MooTools in Joomla no longer applies. With the latest update to Joomla (1.5.20) a new plugin was added, providing MooTools 1.2.4, with backwards compatibility for Joomla extensions that relied on MooTools 1.1. This update came just in time for me as I was updating a client's site from Joomla 1.0 and had a lot of Javascript to rewrite with new dependencies and conflicts to avoid.

For upgrade installs, this plugin is not be enabled by default.

Using MooTools 1.2 in Joomla

MooTools is on version 1.2.3 (after completely dropping 1.1.1 as the default about a year ago), and version 2.0 is expected before years' end. Joomla however, still is including 1.1.1 because of compatibility issues with various plugins. People have been asking how to safely replace the version of MooTools included. Since I've done this several times, I figured I'd share my method here.

J-AMFPHP adds this functionality to Joomla and exposes the Joomla API to Flash developers.

J-AMFPHP v 0.1

J-AMFPHP is a component for Joomla! 1.5 to add AMFPHP as a library. It is no longer available for download. Please use version 0.3.2
