DOCman 4.x to DOCman 5.0
Last updated: 27 February 2024If you are unsure about the upgrade or have questions related to your setup, you can contact us and we can make sure everything is in order together.
Requirements
- Joomla 4.x or later
- DOCman 5.x, check our upgrading guides when running an older version
How it works
1. Backup, the backup
Before you start the upgrade process please make a full backup of your site. If you have private documents, make sure your site is offline or make a copy of your site where you can work in.
2. Upgrade DOCman
Upgrading to DOCman 5.0 is done via the standard Joomla extension installer. Navigate to System > Install > Extensions. Click the Upload Package File tab and select (or drag and drop) the DOCman 5.0 package, which you can download from the Joomla 4 tab in your Joomlatools dashboard's downloads section.
3. Upgrade other Joomlatools extensions
Also install the latest packages for our FILEman, LOGman, TEXTman and LEADman extensions if you use them on your site.
Since all our extensions share a common base framework your site might stop functioning if you don’t upgrade all extensions together.
