Problem with upgrade from Joomla 2.5 to 3.X

[civano]

Hello,

I have followed the (very clear) instructions provided in your tutorial
https://www.phoca.cz/documents/50-phoca ... o-joomla-3

The content all appears to be intact and the backend partly works, but the "files" and "categories" appear with no styling and return the same error message:
Fatal error: Class 'Joomla\CMS\Layout\LayoutHelper' not found in /home3/lasaltur/public_html/laj3/administrator/components/com_phocadownload/views/phocadownloadcats/tmpl/default_batch.php on line 22

On the front end, the Phoca content area is blank when the menu calls for the list of categories to be displayed. The url of the site is
http://www.lasalturastucson.com/laj3/

I have searched in the forum, but could not find a similar issue. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

did you follow all instructions? Also this step:

Phoca Download: If you are exporting/importing Phoca Download data, before importing, you need to empty one table (to avoid conflict). Run this SQL query in your phpMyAdmin:

TRUNCATE TABLE `jos_phocadownload_layout`;

You are using an outdated Joomla Version > 3.6.5 (2016)

Kind regards
Christine

Hi Christine,
Thank you for your reply. In fact, yes, I did do the truncate table step and verified that the one entry that was there was deleted.

The backend error remains as I described.

Not sure why, but the front end now does show the categories, but when you click on a category, you get this error:
Fatal error: Class 'Joomla\CMS\Uri\Uri' not found in /home3/lasaltur/public_html/laj3/components/com_phocadownload/views/category/view.html.php on line 26

Please let me know if this error message gives you a clue as to the problem area.

Thanks
Charles

Hi Charles,

1) as mentioned above: You are using an very outdated Joomla Version > 3.6.5 (2016) You missed many Core, bug & security Releases.

2) do you run the latest Phocadownload version? 3.1.8 https://www.phoca.cz/download/category/ ... -component

3) Check also your Template. Maybe your template overrides the Phoca Download output and it seems it included obsolete code and needs to be updated.

4) Your site is: .../lasalturastucson.com/laj3 ...., but above path: .../lasaltur ... = correct?

5) Before & after Joomla etc. update, check/repair also database in backend.

Kind regards
Christine
