Installing All Video Share

Note: If you are upgrading an existing Joomla 3 site to Joomla 4, 5 or 6, do not follow this guide. Please refer to our Migration Guide instead.

All Video Share is a video player and gallery extension for Joomla. This is a step-by-step guide to installing it on your site. It ships as a single package, so one upload installs the component, all modules and all plugins together — there is nothing to install separately.

Requirements

Before installing All Video Share, please ensure your site meets the following requirements. Both are checked by the installer — if your site falls short, the installation is refused and nothing is changed.

  • Joomla: 4.4 or higher, 5.x or 6.x
  • PHP: 7.4 or higher

Joomla 4.0 to 4.3 are not supported — please update Joomla to 4.4 or later first. You can check both versions under System → System Information in your Joomla administrator.

Before you begin

  • Back up your site. Always take a full backup of your files and database before installing any extension.
  • Check your upload limit. Go to System → System Information → PHP Information and check upload_max_filesize and post_max_size. If either is smaller than the package file, the upload will fail — see Troubleshooting below.

Check the steps below to install the All Video Share extension

  1. Download the All Video Share package to your computer. You will get a single ZIP file — do not unzip it.
  2. Log in to your Joomla back-end.
  3. In your Joomla Home Dashboard, click on System.
  4. Under Install, click on Extensions.
  1. Be sure you are in the Upload Package File tab.
  1. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the file by drag and drop, or browse for the file that you downloaded in step 1.
  2. You should see an “Installation of the package was successful.” message. All Video Share is now installed.

What gets installed

The single package installs eleven extensions in one step:

  • 1 component — All Video Share, where you manage your categories, videos and advertisements.
  • 6 site modules — Gallery, Carousel, Player, Playlist, Search and YouTube.
  • 4 plugins — the Player and YouTube content plugins, the YouTube editor button, and the Smart Search indexer.

All four plugins are enabled automatically during installation. You do not need to publish them yourself.

Verify the installation

Open Components → All Video Share. If the dashboard loads, the component is installed correctly.

To confirm everything else arrived, go to System → Manage → Extensions and search for allvideoshare. You should see eleven entries, with the four plugins showing as enabled.

Updating an existing installation

Install the new package exactly the same way, over the top of the old one. The package is an upgrade installer, so your videos, categories and settings are all kept.

Never uninstall All Video Share in order to update it. Uninstalling drops the database tables and permanently deletes every video and category you have added.

Once you have added your license key, Joomla will also offer updates automatically under System → Update → Extensions.

Troubleshooting

“Warning! Failed to move file”, or the upload never finishes.

Your server’s upload limit is smaller than the package. Ask your host to raise upload_max_filesize, post_max_size and max_execution_time. Alternatively, upload the ZIP to your server by FTP and use the Install from Folder tab instead, which bypasses the upload limit entirely.

“The extension requires PHP 7.4.0 or higher”, or “requires Joomla 4.4.0 or higher”.

Your site does not meet the minimum requirements, and nothing was installed. Update PHP through your hosting control panel, or update Joomla under System → Update → Joomla, then install again.

This is almost always the PHP memory limit. Raise memory_limit to at least 128M and try again. To see the underlying error, first set Error Reporting to Maximum under System → Global Configuration → Server.
