Requirements and installation

Deutsche Fassung

Requirements

  • Joomla: 6.0 or newer
  • PHP: 8.2 or newer
  • YOOtheme Pro: installed and active as the site template
  • Phoca Download: version 6.x — available free of charge at phoca.cz

Install Phoca Download first. The installation of Phoca Download Source checks whether the component is present and stops with a notice otherwise — without the download manager the plugin would have no data to offer.

Installation

  1. Download the installation package plg_system_ytp_phocadownload-x.y.z.zip from your customer account on graup-it.de.
  2. In the Joomla backend, open System → Install → Extensions.
  3. Drag the ZIP file into the upload area or select it via Browse.

On a first installation the plugin is enabled automatically. You will find it afterwards under System → Plugins as System - Phoca Download Source.

The panel after the installation names the installed version and leads to the three things now due: selecting the source in the builder, storing the download key for updates, and the manual. After an update, the changelog takes the place of "Getting started".

After the installation

  1. Clear the YOOtheme cache: YOOtheme → Settings → Advanced → Clear Cache.
  2. Open a page in the builder — the dynamic content of the elements now offers the group "Phoca Download" with the three source types.
  3. Enter your download key for automatic updates — see Download key and updates.

Updating from version 1.6 or older

An update is installed like a fresh installation via the ZIP, or conveniently through the Joomla updater; your settings are preserved. Version 1.7 automatically cleans up the files of older plugin versions and converts a download ID already stored to the current key format — you do not have to do anything further.

Uninstalling

Under System → Manage Extensions, select the plugin System - Phoca Download Source and uninstall it. Your downloads and categories in Phoca Download remain fully intact; only the source in the builder is gone. Phoca Download sources used in layouts show no content afterwards.

Applies to version 1.7.2.3.
