Release information
This is a new version of the DPCalendar Joomla calendar extension. Please read the release notes for a complete list of changes in this release.
This version contains a complete new templating layer. This means that you have to redo all the DPCalendar template overrides.The existing ones will NOT work anymore. Also some parameters do have changed, please recheck your DPCalendar options after an upgrade.
We also changed the minimum requirement for this version to Joomla 3.7 and PHP 5.5!
Prerequisites
DPCalendar needs the following environment to run successfully:
- Joomla 3.7 and above
- MySQL >= 5
- PHP >= 5.5.9
Basically DPCalendar needs the requirements of a Joomla installation.
Installation
To install DPCalendar, you have to download the package and upload it through the Joomla installer. You can also install DPCalendar through the built in Joomla web installer. After a successful installation configure the component, modules and the plugins and publish them. For more information how to get started with DPCalendar read our short getting started guide.
Upgrade
Please do a backup prior to the upgrade, just in case. To upgrade DPCalendar from an earlier version, just install the package or individual extensions with the Joomla installer, DPCalendar will handle the upgrade procedure by itself.
