Update your own plugins

Instructions for updating your own plugins

Caution: If you have developed your own custom Visforms plugins for your website, these may need to be adapted.

When updating to Visforms 6.0.0 and Subscription 6.0.0 for Joomla instances with individually developed plugins for Visforms, important adjustments must be taken into account.
Individual plugins are plugins that you have developed yourself or that you have been commissioned to develop.

New technical standards in Visforms

Visforms is continuously adapting to new technical standards. Even though Visforms 5 and Visforms 6 look very similar externally, the code differs significantly in some places. The code and file structure of Visforms has been completely redesigned in Visforms 5 for Joomla 6. All affected classes and functions have been designated as Deprecated Visforms 6.

Visforms Adaptation for the Transition from Joomla 5 to Joomla 6

The label of classes and functions in Visforms 5 as Deprecated Visforms 6 contains instructions on how to replace them. Classes and functions that were designated as deprecated in Visforms 6 have now been removed from the Visforms 6 installation.
Individual plugins must be adapted according to the instructions in the deprecated notes.
