This article is for each user that are encountering problems with their shops after module upgrades. Problem is related to new release of prestashop, but problems appear in 1.5 release . It's because of incompability. New modules works only with prestashop 1.6, so if we updated these addons in our PrestaShop 1.5 - they will just not work, our webshow will be just blank... totally crashed!
How to fix?
The only one way to fix this is... We have to overwrite new modules with old ones. So, download these modules, and reupload them to your /modules/ directory. List of modules with download link to version which is compatibile with 1.5. I will update this list if it will be necessary.

Before upload new files - don't uninstall modules!
Before you will upload module files (from 1.5 release) don't uninstall modules in your back office. If you will do that - you will loose all module informations that you stored with modules, for example block top menu configuration, featured products configuratin etc.
