A4p Bridge Yootheme Pro – Event Booking (System Plugin) – Docu Joomla

Installation Guide

Requirements

Before installing the plugin, make sure the following extensions are already installed on your Joomla website:

  • Joomla 5.x
  • YOOtheme Pro
  • Event Booking

Installation Steps

1. Download the Plugin

Download the plugin ZIP file:

plg_system_eventbookingyootheme_unzip_first.zip

Unzip the file.

2. Open Joomla Extension Installer

In the Joomla administrator backend, go to:

System → Install → Extensions

3. Upload the Plugin

  • Select the plugin ZIP file.
  • Upload and install it.

Joomla will automatically install the plugin.

4. Enable the Plugin

After installation, go to:

System → Plugins

Search for:

A4Pro System EventBookingYootheme

Enable the plugin if it is not already enabled.

Using the Plugin in YOOtheme Pro

After activation:

  1. Open YOOtheme Pro Builder.
  2. Add or edit an element.
  3. Click on Dynamic Content.
  4. You will now find new Event Booking dynamic fields and sources.

Examples:

  • Event Title
  • Event Date
  • Price Display
  • Capacity
  • Available Spaces
  • Event Categories

Notes

  • The plugin does not modify Event Booking itself.
  • All events are still managed inside Event Booking.
  • The plugin only extends YOOtheme Pro with dynamic Event Booking data.

Recommended

After installation, it is recommended to:

  • clear Joomla cache
  • clear YOOtheme Pro cache

This ensures all new dynamic sources are loaded correctly.
