Converting Templates to Joomla 1.5
Here are a few examples of the old function names with their new counterparts:
mosLoadModule(position) = <jdoc:include type="modules" name="position" />
Example:
Old: <?php mosLoadModule(user5) ?>
New: <jdoc:include type="modules" name="user5" />
mosCountModules(position) = $this->countModules(position)
Example:
Old: <?php if ( mosCountModules ('banner') ) { ?>
New: <?php if ( $this->countModules('banner') ) : ?>
