Took me 30 minutes to update this project (a backend only project) from Joomla 3 🔣 🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠🔠 5️⃣

Good news, the back-end is stable (except for this DB issue)

Thank you for all those testing the JCB extension, it is really helping us move faster. PLEASE CONTINUE!!!!

Next we are moving towards the front-end!

I already have a few components that work both front-end and back-end (no errors in Joomla 5). I just had to manually write the Router class. So I am working on automating the new Router class as we speak. The new Router class has moved to its own table in JCB... more info to follow.

We want to have a Code Sprint (virtual). Who would be interested?

Agenda for Code Sprint:

- Create a checklist of TODO's for migrating a JCB component to Joomla 5 (see repo AI made as the starting point)
- Discussion about new features we would like to add
- Further debugging of known issues

We have now also added a new channel for JCB on the official Joomla-MatterMost chat platform for those who prefer to connect there.

https://joomlacommunity.cloud.mattermost.com/main/channels/jcb

🔣 We plan to keep official JCB announcement in sync on all channels. We also plan to increase our social footprint, if any of you would like to help, and have experience as a social influencer please contact Llewellyn, we need your help.

👉 JCB v4.0.0-alpha1 is out! 🔣

🆒 JCB v5.0.0-alpha1 is also out! 🔝

JCB v3.2.0 STABLE is now out!

🔣 Some PHP settings that should be helpful going forward:

; Resource Limits and File Uploads
upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
max_execution_time = 60
max_input_vars = 5000
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 256M

🔣 Add these to the php.ini file where you are running JCB since JCB is large and some defaults are too low.

🔣 see changelog

🔣 Thank you for all the testing!!

🔣 Big thank you to all our financial contributors‼️

🔣 This version should fully build Joomla 4 and 5 components back and front. (No import/export yet)

🔣 We are planning to add many new features. The first is called Joomla Power, that will like with super powers give you a spk=SuperPowerKey to dynamically add use statements where you use these powers. So the Joomla Power will give you the same power to with the jpk=JoomlaPowerKey add Joomla classes all over your custom code, and let JCB take care of adding the corresponding use statements in the header. I should push out some tutorial on this use-case soon.

🔣 JOIN OUR NEW YouTube Stream....
