Ok, things went better than I thought so I decided to post the first test candidate a bit earlier than planned.  I developed this on the 1.5.5. version of Joomla and did some rudimentary testing to verify that nothing crashed.

The component can be found in the downloads section under 'component->0.4_Joomla_1.5'

One change that I think will be welcomed is the move of all functions to within the component.  That way the menu module is eliminated and the component only needs one regular menu item somewhere on the site. That means that both the preferences and add item are now dislpayed on top of the module with the other controls.

So far the component seems to behave, but please don't use this on production sites, at least not until I get some reports back on how its doing in the hands of normal users.

I made two versions of the test component.  One for those that have an upgraded site with a previous install of EnduranceLog, and one for those that want to install it on a fresh install of Joomla 1.5.

For the upgrade all you do is overwrite the files in 'components/com_endurancelog' and 'administrator/components/com_endurancelog'.  This works best if you can create a copy or backup of a current site that has been upgraded to Joomla 1.5 and has EnduranceLog still listed as an installed component.  After overwriting the files the EnduranceLog should start working again (after enabling legacy mode).

For the fresh install all you do is install the component like any other and create a menu item for it.  There is no need to install the old menu module as all functions have been moved to within the component itself.

I will create a new thread in the forum that will deal with Joomla 1.5 issues that may crop up.
