Hi,
as on my Joomla Page the Joomgallery is the last component preventing the upgrade to J4, I am asking myself if one of these approaches would be feasible:
A) Migrate but not yet activate
- install Joomgallery 3.7-RC1 and fix the alias/catpath
- upgrade to Joomla 4
- deactivate Joomgallery
So everything is already prepared to upgrade and active Joomgallery again, but I am also not stuck with the out-of-support PHP8 and Joomla 3.10. I think we can cope with Joomgallery not beeing available for some time. Or do you expect a 3.7-RC2 with additional fixes - that would be worse in this case
b) Migrate and use Alpha2 in Read Only Mode
- install Joomgallery 3.7-RC1 and fix the alias/catpath
- upgrade to Joomla 4
- upgrade to Joomgallery 4 Alpha 2
- disable everything altering stuff (upload, commenting, rating etc.) and just use it to display the existing images
I know it is alpha and it could harm my live site, but neither someones life nor income depends on our site. I might just take more backups just in case. As with the first approach, only additional fixes from an 3.7-RC2 would be bad in that case as I cannot execute them then.
Thank you!
