Joomla! Documentation™

Prima di iniziare, è essenziale che tu conosca quale versione di Joomla! che stai usando. Questo è particolarmente vero se si passa a una versione maggiore. Se siete già confusi o non sapete cosa sia una versione maggiore, dovreste leggere di più sulla release and support cycle delle versioni di Joomla CMS. Joomla è rilasciato con le seguenti denominazioni di versione: [major].[minor]. [manutenzione]. Ad esempio, la versione 3.9.5 è Joomla major versione 3, minor 9, e la versione di manutenzione 5.

Dalla versione 1.7, l'aggiornamento e l'aggiornamento di Joomla sono integrati nell'interfaccia administration come componente. I termini aggiornamento e aggiornamento possono essere usati in modo intercambiabile. Per molti versi, l'aggiornamento e l'upgrade sono simili a partire da Joomla 1.7, ma sarà necessario prestare molta attenzione ai dettagli. Per aiutarli a definirli meglio, si raccomanda di usare il termine migrazione che verrebbe definito come una versione major.minor(2.5) in una diversa versione major.minor(3.1).

Simple Updating

Updates are an easy update to the next maintenance release and are backwards compatible, eg version 2.5.13 to version 2.5.14 or the version 1.7.x to 2.5.28. For Joomla CMS 3, these updates span all minor and maintenance releases. Some examples are version 3.1.2 to 3.3.6 and 3.3.1 to 3.3.6. Please see the specific pages to review version from and to.
