Installation and updates

Installing Hotspots is no different than installing any other Joomla!™ extension on your site. You can read the complete instructions for installing Joomla!™ extensions on the official help page.Throughout this chapter we assume that you are familiar with these instructions and we will not duplicate them.

Hotspots is distributed in 2 versions: Core and PRO. The core version is FREE as in free beer, where the PRO version is available to users with active subscriptions. Both version downloads are located in Downloads -> Official releases -> Hotspots. The releases are listed with the newest release always on top. Once you click on the release number you'll see the available files for download. If you don't own a subscription you'll see just the Core release. If you own a valid subscription you should see both the CORE & PRO version.

The language (translation) files are NOT installed automatically. You can download and install them from our Languages download page. Do note that you will have to install both the component and the language packages for the component to work.
