Installation

Download

Download the latest plugin package (plg_smartlocalyoutube_vX.XX.zip) from nextsoftware.dev.

Install

  1. Log in to your Joomla administrator panel
  2. Go to System > Install > Extensions
  3. Drag and drop the ZIP file onto the upload area, or click Browse for file and select it
  4. Joomla will install the plugin and display a success message

The installer first checks that your site runs PHP 8.1 or higher and Joomla 4.4 or later. If not, it stops with a message naming the required and the installed version, and nothing is changed on your site.

Enable the Plugin

The plugin is disabled by default after installation:

  1. Go to System > Manage > Plugins
  2. Search for Smart Local Youtube
  3. Click the status icon to enable it, or open the plugin and set Status to Enabled
  4. Click Save

Upgrading

The plugin uses method="upgrade" in its manifest, so you can install a new version directly over the old one without uninstalling first. Your settings are preserved during upgrades.

To upgrade:

  1. Download the new version
  2. Install it the same way as a fresh install (System > Install > Extensions), or use Joomla's update system (System > Update > Extensions)
  3. Your existing configuration will remain intact

Uninstalling

  1. Go to System > Manage > Extensions
  2. Search for Smart Local Youtube
  3. Select the checkbox next to the plugin
  4. Click Uninstall in the toolbar
