DOCman 1.5.x

DOCman 1.5.x and above are Joomla! 1.5 native components and do not require legacy mode to function.

Note: We advise using Joomla! 1.5.6 or above for security reasons.

DOCman 1.4.x

DOCman 1.4.x is compatible with Joomla! 1.5 using legacy mode.

For those out there that are running behind on there Joomla! updates these combinations are known to work:

• Joomla! 1.5 RC2 + DOCman 1.4.0 BETA2 (legacy plugin must be enabled)
• Joomla! 1.5 RC3 + DOCman 1.4.0 RC1 (legacy plugin must be enabled)
• Joomla! 1.5 RC4 + DOCman 1.4.0 RC2 (legacy plugin must be enabled)
• Joomla! 1.5 stable + DOCman 1.4 RC2 (legacy plugin must be enabled)
• Joomla! 1.5 stable + DOCman 1.4 RC3 (legacy plugin must be enabled)
• Joomla! 1.5 stable + DOCman 1.4 Stable (legacy plugin must be enabled)

How to turn on legacy mode in Joomla! 1.5: Login to your backend administrator panel, goto: Extensions -> Plugins, locate the plugin "System - Legacy" tick the box to the left of it in the top right, click "Enable" you should now see in the menu along the top a small joomla icon with some text saying "Legacy: 1.0" If this is the case you may now install DOCman.

DOCman 1.4 RC1 and below

We advise usage of DOCman on Joomla! powered sites using 1.5.6 or above as well as DOCman 1.4 RC2 or above due to security fixes along the way. However as ever we also do strongly advise you run the latest version of DOCman with the latest version of Joomla!
