Installer upgrade

Posted in Development

The JCE Installer has had a bit of a make-over for 1.5.8. All JCE extensions - plugins, languages and plugin extensions - are now termed 'add-ons'

Add-ons can be installed either by uploading a package file (zip, tar etc) or from a file or folder already on the server (in Joomla!'s tmp directory for example), and JCE plugins can be installed from the JCE Plugins folder if necessary using the Search and Install tools.

Related Joomla! extensions, such as JCE MediaBox, can now also be installed and removed using the JCE Add-ons installer.
