Requirements and installation

Notion Source is installed as one package that deploys and enables the system plugin. This page lists the requirements and describes what is active after the installation.

Requirements

Joomla	6.0 or newer
PHP	8.3 or newer
Template	YOOtheme Pro 4 or 5 (active)
Notion	an internal integration token that has been given access to the databases you want

Notion Source extends the YOOtheme Pro builder. Without an active YOOtheme Pro template the plugin can be installed, but no Notion source appears in the builder.

Installation

Download the file plg_system_notionsource-<version>.zip.
In the backend, open System → Install → Extensions and drag the ZIP file into the Upload Package File area.
After the upload, Notion Source is installed and the plugin is enabled.

Notion Source ships as a single system plugin. Earlier versions came as the package pkg_notionsource; if you still have that package installed, remove it under System → Manage Extensions before installing the plugin.

The panel after installing Notion Source, with version, status and the cards Getting started, Enable updates and Help — This panel greets you after the installation. It names the installed version and leads to the three things now due: storing the Notion token, entering the download key for updates, and the manual. After an update, the changelog takes the place of "Getting started".

What is active after the installation

So that the Notion source is available in the builder right away, the installation enables the system plugin automatically. You do not have to switch it on by hand. Before any content appears, however, the Notion token still has to be entered — see the chapters Setting up the Notion integration and Entering the token and options.

A first check

Open System → Plugins and search for Notion. The plugin System - Notion Source should have the status Enabled.

What happens when you uninstall

Removing the plugin deletes it and its settings. The local schema cache under administrator/cache/ is cleared when the token is removed or via Joomla's cache management; it contains no credentials anyway, only database and field names.

Applies to version 1.2.2.
