Docman in J4 and J5

Hello I have sent you an email

Hi Georgious
Same, I have installed a full Joomla test to allow you to see.
The credentials are sent with a 2 days available links (if you did not retrieve it, please advice me to generate a new link),
and more information from the main dev sent by email just sent right now in email also from Johan Janssens (Joomlatools CEO and Joomla co-founder), this could also help

Thanks for your help Georgious

There is something really stupid in this file

libraries/joomlatools/component/koowa/template/helper/event.php

instead of using Joomla API to check for current Joomla version
it uses class_exists to decide the current Joomla version and trigger the plugin event ...

Here is the modified code that really checks for Joomla version instead of checking if a class exists

//if (class_exists('JEventDispatcher')) {
if (version_compare(JVERSION, '4.0.0', 'lt')) {
  $results = \JEventDispatcher::getInstance()->trigger($config->name, $attributes);
} else if (version_compare(JVERSION, '6.0.0', 'lt')) {
  $results = \Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication()->triggerEvent($config->name, $attributes);
} else {
  // Joomla 6.0.0 or later NOTE your plugin must be updated to support J6 events
  $eventName = $config->name;
  $event = \Joomla\CMS\Event\AbstractEvent::create($config->name, + $attributes);
  $results = \Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication()->getDispatcher()->dispatch($eventName, $event)->getArgument('result');
}
You can submit this to the authors of the file, and I will refrain from repeating any words 3 or more times

Flexicontent is just one of a dozen of the things I am doing
and I am not so lazy to refuse to modify 1 line of code to check the Joomla version using the Joomla API

Also Flexicontent will get an update for J6 plugin triggering in Flexicontent v6, now will release current master branch as v5.0

The code that we define JEventDispatcher will be gone,
we never use the class instances of it in J4, (despite instantiating it), we just need to update many places not to instantiate it.

Using this definition of this class as an excuse of not checking Joomla version and blaming us is really improper and rude.

I say to the author of Docman, please be more polite about code of others, so that they will be with your own mess ups, like checking Joomla version with class_exists() ....

Hi Georgious,
So, I forward your message to them ?
Do I have to make anything else ? I'm only the emissary here and not able to see what to do...

Thanks for your time and patience
