A legitimate question among developers reading this file may be why we are using a "files" extension type instead of the
|
|
"library" type which, on the face of it, seems more appropriate.
|
|
|
|
We have not lost our mind. We are working around the adverse effects of the very different way Joomla treats "library"
|
|
packages than any other package type.
|
|
|
|
When applying an update to a library package Joomla! will uninstall it BEFORE it executes the installation script's
|
|
preflight event. This means that any checks made there to prevent the installation of the library in an incompatible
|
|
environment (e.g. wrong PHP or Joomla! version, or even preventing an accidental downgrade) results in the library files
|
|
being UNINSTALLED.
|
|
|
|
This is really bad for anyone who tries to install a library package on an unsupported environment. If the library
|
|
package runs no checks the installed library version causes the extensions that depend on it to crash, taking down the
|
|
site. If the library package runs checks in the earliest available point in time (preflight) you end up with the old
|
|
library files having been uninstalled which again causes the extensions that depend on it to crash, taking down the
|
|
site. No matter what you do, the very action of TRYING to install an unsupported library version KILLS THE SITE. This is
|
|
madness. Worse than that, this is a known issue in Joomla since ~2017 but nobody will fix it until a new major version.
|
|
Since this doesn't look likely in Joomla 4.0 we are talking about Joomla 5 which could be anywhere from two to ten years
|
|
into the future. Clearly this doesn't cut it for us: we don't want trying to install our software causing sites to stop
|
|
working!
|
|
|
|
The only thing we can do to prevent your sites from crashing to the ground if you try to install a version of our
|
|
software which does not support your PHP and/or Joomla! versions is to deliver our library as a *files* package. This
|
|
is nonsensical, it is 100% architecturally wrong BUT it is also the only way we can apply pre-installation checks which
|
|
fail gracefully instead of causing your site to crash and burn.

<b>WARNING</b>: This is NOT a duplicate of the FOF library already installed with Joomla!. It is a different version used by other extensions on your site. Do NOT uninstall either FOF package. If you do you will break your site.
