hikashop on 1.5 or 1.7

Hi

i am interested in the shop component, at present mt site is 1.523, before i think about buying the software i have decision to make, do i upgrade to joomla 1.7 or stay on 1.5. Because i need to know which version to buy, probably more of a joomla forum question. It will be a fair bit of work upgrading, lots on it. Is 1.7 a lot better, is there a need to upgrade if i go the latest 1.5?

I did try upgrading on a test site using jupgrade and it kept stalling and not working, easier just to stay on 1.5, but want the best option, any help much appreciated....

Also i only will offer paypal as a payment option, i assume hikashop does this??

thanks

Hi,

Thanks for that. i am thinking of goign down the 1.5 route and then next year spend a lot of time transfering over, got a few other tings to do at same time and time is against me at moment.Do you know when they stop 1.5 next year?

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.

Thanks for the help
