    Slide 12 says “Custom Fields”, what are these?

    Is it still on course for December 1st??

  • http://johan.janssens.me Johan Janssens

    DOCman has had a custom fields feature since the 1.3 version. You can add custom fields using the paramaters.xml file.

    OK, i thought it was with a GUI now or something. Is there a good/proven guide for adding these extra drop-down fields (I found one version on the forums which was from a german user i think)??

    What is the upgrade path for this native version? Will the existing Legacy version have to be uninstalled or will there be an upgrade patch?

  • http://mathiasverraes.com Mathias Verraes

    Just as with regular 1.4 upgrades, you can simply uninstall the old version and install the new one. Your data is kept intact. This process is not as smooth as we’d like it, but it is easy and as long as Joomla doesn’t have a good upgrade and dependency system, it is the most stable and error-free method.

    A full upgrade and installation guide will be available in the README file.

    Guys, I don’t want to sound sarcastic, but how will it run on Joomla 1.6?

  • http://johan.janssens.me Johan Janssens

    It’s a little bit too early to make any statements on that. Joomla 1.6 has just released it’s second alpha. Code is still very much in flux. Once a first beta is released we will start doing tests. Our plan is to have a compatible version of DOCman ready when 1.6 stable ships.
