Installation Order
Install and expose Datso extensions in an order that keeps data ownership clear. Do not start with public menus; first install the component, check its administrator area, configure settings, then add frontend menu items.
Recommended sequence
- Install product components first: DatsoGallery, DatsoShop, DatsoHub, DatsoDocs, and later DatsoMailing when it exists.
- Install related modules and plugins after the owning component.
- Create administrator records: categories, products, plans, pages, settings.
- Create frontend menu items only after the records they depend on exist.
- Clear Joomla cache and verify frontend routing.
Manual copy warning
If an extension is copied into the filesystem manually, Joomla may not update extension registration, namespace maps, SQL schemas, or media assets. Prefer the Joomla installer. If manual registration is unavoidable, verify #__extensions, #__schemas, component tables, and administrator/cache/autoload_psr4.php.
