Joomla Cms

Abstract

1. Introduction

For detailed instructions please visit https://docs.joomla.org/Special:MyLanguage/J5.x:Setting_Up_Your_Local_Environment

Joomla creates a cache of the namespaces of its extensions in JOOMLA_ROOT/administrator/cache/autoload_psr4.php. If extensions are created, deleted or removed in git then this file needs to be recreated. You can simply delete the file and it will be regenerated on the next call to Joomla.

Using a simple classification keeps the project stable, transparent, and easy for everyone to contribute.
