• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

How to Upgrade from 3.8.1 to latest?

Hi guys,
i have recently taken over a client website. They had enabled Joomla automatic updates, however, it appears that the joomla extensions were not part of this process.

as a result, Fabrik is now well out of date. the website has more than 2 dozen Fabrik modules and plugins on it...appears all are 3.8.1.

How do i update by such a big jump without knocking the joomla website offline?
 
Yup, "As usual: clone the site, update the clone, test, test, test."

Fabrik3.8.1 is the last but one version.
You should be able to use the standard Joomla "Update" to update Fabrik and all it's plugins to 3.9
 
Is the latest version compatible with php 5.6? (That is another problem...shilst joomla is latest version, I can't update php 5.6 to php 7 yet either because of issues with other extensions)
 
It may still work with 5.6, although we make no guarantees. I haven't developed against 5.6 for several years, and since it was end of lifed a year ago, I don't even have it installed on any of my dev servers.

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
