Since release of Joomla 1.5.19 new plug-in is available that allows to load latest Mootools JavaScript Framework.

The plug-in overrides the JHTMLBehavior and loads the new Mootools 1.2.4 Javascript files instead of the version 1.1 files. Compatibility with existing Mootools functionality is preserved using the Mootools compatibility layer. You can read more about this plug-in on Joomla website.

If Joomla CMS (version 1.5.19 or above) is installed for the first time the plug-in will be will be installed and added to the database automatically. Also, if you update to Joomla 1.5.20 using a patch the plug-in will be automatically installed when you access Admin Control Panel.

You're **way** over complicating this. All you have to do is patch the upgrade like you normally would and login to the ba[censored]end and Enable the plugin via the Plugin Manager.

Hi Ian. First of all, great job on Joomla project! Keep up great work!

I recently updated several web-sites of my clients and development from older Joomla version 1.5.11+. The problem is that patch update does not create record in the plug-ins table, therefore their is no way to enabled the plug-in.

I looked through the patch and documentation did not see any sql update script... Am I missing something? How will the update of source code update the database?

The entry should be added to the database the first time a user logs into the Administrator control panel.

You are right. I looked through repositories and saw the cahgnes in "admin.cpanel.php 18130 2010-07-14".

I have no idea how I screwed up like this... I will correct the page tomorrow, so I don't mislead people.

Thank you.
