Notes:
- Documentation for the new features is in the How-to pages.. how-to.html
- Re: In-place updating - If you are upgrading a release older than ABPro 4.0.2 beta 4, you will need to use the old procedure upgrade-instructions.html
- Limitations
- ddslick does not work in a jQuery accordion section so ddslick is not compatible with Simple or GAD Accordion views.
Wizard is ok as the resource dropdown is not in an accordion section.
- Payage is not currently compatible with Popup Caller. (the return from the gateway does not know it is in an iFrame and renders the Joomla framework inside the popup.)
- New Popup Caller V2 (ABPro 4) now available.
- New Content Link plugin V2 (ABPro 4) now available.
-
ABPro 4 allows you to turn on/off and re-position screen sections. This is done in the Menu Setup screen via menu parameters.
If you are upgrading from ABPro 3, your menus are still there from ABPro 3. You will need to open and re-save the menu item that calls ABPro so the new parameters get set and stored.

Joomla 3.x
ABPro 4.0.5 can be installed directly over 4.0.3.
If you are upgrading a release older than ABPro 4.0.3, you will need to use the old procedure upgrade-instructions.html
Joomla 4.0
There is currently no upgrade path from Joomla 3.9 to 4.0 (you need 3.10 which is not even in beta yet)
There is no direct upgrade path from Joomla 3, ABPro 4.0.3 to Joomla 4, ABPro 4.0.5 either.
Currently the way you do it is:
- Use ABPro Backup in your J3/ABPro 4.0.3
- Export all the _backup tables from your J3 database
- Edit the export file to change the db prefix to match your J4 db
- Import the _backup tables into your J4 db
- Install ABPro 4.0.5 on J4
- Use ABPro Restore to read the _backup data into ABPro 4.0.5
Basically the same procedure as outlined here..
