Upgrading problem language/add-on

Hi

I am using zen 1.3.9h with French language, i don't find a French language pack for zen 1.5, i also use the Caixa payment module which is very old (2007 - nothing newer)

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=293

I already have problem with this module on 1.3.9h but i am pretty sure it won't work at all with 1.5....

What can I do about those problems?

Also is is worth upgrading now or better to wait for Zen 2.0?

Thanks

L.

Re: Upgrading problem language/add-on

If it's important for your business, you can:
A.) do the work yourself
B.) wait to see if someone else contributes the updates you need
C.) invest in paying a developer to make the changes for you..

Re: Upgrading problem language/add-on

It is kind of important as without the language pack and payment module I don't have a store...

But as I read Zen 2.0 will be a totally new store, totally new upgrade of everything, I wonder if it is worth rushing to upgrade from 1.3.9h which imply paying someone to upgrade payment module + translation and then do this again for Zen 2.0...

If i have to wait until someone contributes to upgrade, i surely better wait for Zen 2...

Re: Upgrading problem language/add-on

Seems like Zen 2.0 is still a fair ways off. Just my opinion of couse.. It's entirely possible that I am wrong.. You'll have to decide what works for you..

Re: Upgrading problem language/add-on

For the language pack, I don't think so much has changed that it would be difficult to update it yourself, if you speak French. Install a test v1.5.0 site and put the French pack on it to see how much breaks. You can compare the English language files for v1.3.9h and v1.5.0 with Winmerge to see what differences there are in those; this will give you a good idea of how big the job is.

The payment module will have to be upgraded by a professional, whether you hire them or they contribute their time. Sensitive code like this must absolutely be done right.
