Okay, as long as the "Z.C. Version" field is updated to state 1.5 in the Modules section (do we need to do that ourselves?)

The following have been checked and confirmed working.

Modules: Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)
Version: 4.0.2
URL: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1269
Status: 1.5 compatible.

Modules: Twenga Feed Export & Sales Tracking
Version: 1.0
URL: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1921
Status: 1.5 compatible.

When modules need to be updated for compatibility with the admin access control changes in 1.5, it would be helpful to note in the change description that the new version is not backwards compatible with 1.3 or earlier versions.

If changes are for CSRF protection or to remove destructive GET parameters, then they should be remain compatible with 1.3.9 at least.

If changes are to reflect updates to core files into which they intrude or ovewrite, backwards compatibility will be on a case-by-case basis.

::thumbs up to that..

Plus, lots of mods in there may be fine with 1.5 but to remain in the list, they should be checked otherwise they are moved to an UNCHECKED or OLD section IMHO.

When I get chance, will check some more.

User Tracking Confirmed Working we updated and cleaned and rearranged some instruction files, Readme etc.

Has not been updated since Feb 16 2007 thought we go ahead and do it. I know tons of customers currently using and will probably want to convert it over. Problem Solved.

Mod please view submitted update version and approve. Thanks

Search Helper works as is in 1.5. I have updated the documentation to provide the line numbers for 1.3.9 changes since this mod hadn't been updated since 1.3.8.

Has anyone tested Image Handler?
I'm working on it to change the naming of the files created (adding product title and whatelse the SEO guru will tell me) and to put them on a third level domain (for cookieless advantages and parallelized download advantages). When I'll finish I'll test it on 1.5.0 too (well just finished, but I've to bring my hacks to a fresh IH pack and add some controls to switch on / off the third-level domain usage and write some documentation too).

Image Handler won't work with 1.5. I have somebody here looking at what's needed, but that's likely to be one of the more complicated to upgrade, so it's not first on his list.

clydejones has IH3 working with some changes. His post is in the support thread for IH3.

Clyde has addressed the page registration requirement, but our analysis of it has shown that it also has destructive GET actions - one of the potential security vulnerabilities addressed extensively in 1.5, and which are a tad more complex to deal with.

Indeed that's going to be one of the challenges going forward in a PCI-certified world: understanding "it works" v "it's secure".
