It will probably work, yes. No way to tell for sure, but since they said it was an “update”, not a “migration”, I doubt that you will have to redo much of your templates. At any rate, getting familiar with EE now is certainly not a wasted effort further down the line.

I am a newbie and learning how EE works. At the moment coding my first template. Will it work on 2.x or I have to re-invent the wheel?

Our goal is to have all of EE 1.6.2 default/included features work in 2.0. We’re still seeing how close we can get to that but so far, so good. The other important thing is that while there are lots of under the hood changes the way the template engine works will be virtually unchanged. This means most things you learn in EE 1.6.2 will transfer in one way or another to 2.0.

Today I was checking if my site degrades nicely and afterwards I forgot all about having disabled javascript. And EE didn’t work! So, if EE works today it will work with all that fancy Ajax-y stuff as well. Or?

With this particular theme that is being demonstrated, Javascript will be a requirement.

Does that mean however Derek that it would be feasibly possible to create a template that wouldn’t require javascript to work. If it is mainly there for fancy effects and such could it not be made to work without them?

Best wishes,

Mark

If they add a file-manager-type feature to it… this will be perfect! I sure hope so!!!

I can’t get the video / screencast here to work:
http://expressionengine.com/ee2_sneak_preview/

Any ideas? MAC OSX - all my other quicktimes wrk OK. Does this use a special codec that I am missing? Or is this not Quicktime at all. I get the EllesLab and [Click to Play] then I get QT logo with question mark.

I have looked before and it worked. Have you encoded this differently?

Any clues?

You might have a bad cache file, Chris.  First make sure you are using the latest version of Quicktime.  Then delete your ~/Library/Caches/Quicktime folder.  Clear your browser caches as well, and see if that fixes it.  Kurt had a similar problem that fixed upon restart.  If it worked for you before, a bad cache file is my best guess.

Still no go. I can run the Video Tutorials, so I think there must be some problem with the code on this page:
http://expressionengine.com/ee2_sneak_preview/

I have even downloaded the movie file and run locally, so I know I have the right QT version… Anybody esle have the same problem?

BTW - EE 2.0 looks terrific

I actually saw the broken quicktime logo myself (logo with the ? in the center), but I reloaded the page and it worked fine. Not sure I can help, but you’re not crazy at least wink
