Phoco Template php

[Topaz]

Sorry if this is the wrong board but nearest I could find to subject
The Template component shows

Hi, which template do you use? Which version? In which Joomla! version?

Joomla 3.6.2
Learn sample data
Protostar front end
Isis admin

Bulk standard fresh install

Will do another install when I have time and see if I can replicate.

Hi, now I see, Phoca Template component is not available for Joomla! 3 now, only for Joomla! 2.5
https://www.phoca.cz/download/category/5 ... -component

[Topaz]

Dooooooh I never looked properly ... I saw the languages for it are J3 but never noticed the component itself wasn't.

[Jan]

Hi, yes, mostly the langue which works for 2.5 works for 3.5. But yes, it is confused, I have fixed it (changed to only 2.5). Thank you for the info.

Hello Jan!
I also have installed Phoca Template Component from here https://www.phoca.cz/download/category/5 ... -component
I am from Ukraine and using Joomla_3.6.2-jino-ru (russian translation) package.
I didn't see what Joomla version this is component, so I have had error messages from Joomla.

Fatal error: Class PhocaTemplatecpController cannot extend from interface JController in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla_3.6.2-jino-ru\administrator\components\com_phocatemplate\controller.php on line 49

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla_3.6.2-jino-ru\libraries\joomla\session\handler\native.php on line 184

Now I enter to your site and I've noticed my mistake.
Phoca Template Component works properly only in Joomla version 2.5.

I want to ask you.
What about Joomla version 3.5-3.6?
Is this component not modern and not necessary in nowadays?
Why is it outdated a little?
Can this component be useful for creating or customizing new templates ?

Thank you for your answer and your job (another components, modudes, plugins and e.t.c.).

Hi, Phoca Template is Joomla! 2.5 component only.
