Joomla! Compatatbility

Current versions of JCE 1.1.x are only for use with Joomla! 1.0.x, preferably the latest version.

Current versions of JCE 1.5.x are only for use with Joomla! 1.5.x, preferably the latest version.

Browsers

The minimum recommended browser versions are IE8, Safari 4, Chrome 4, Opera 10 and FF 3. The latest versions of all browsers is recommended. Earlier browser versions may work as required but performance and stability is not guaranteed.

Server-side / hosting requirements

JCE has the same server-side requirements as Joomla! and functions best with safe-mode off.

The Image Manager Extended requires the GD2 php library.

The Spellchecker requires libcurl and may require mbstring if the Google Spellcheck option is used, otherwise PSpell or ASpell.

Other requirements

An understanding of the Joomla! administrative functions is required, especially the installtion and general use of Mambots and Components.

To use the popup features of the Image Manager Extended and Advanced Link Extended, the JCE Utilities Mambot is recommended.
