Akeeba Engage — Joomla 6 Compatibility Fork

Unofficial fork with Joomla 6 compatibility patch.

The original Akeeba Engage was archived by Akeeba Ltd in August 2025. This fork applies a minimal namespace fix so the extension works on Joomla 6.

TL;DR: Replace Joomla\CMS\Filesystem with Joomla\Filesystem in 4 use statements across 3 files. That's it. If you'd rather patch the original yourself instead of using this fork:

# From your Joomla root:
sed -i 's/use Joomla\\CMS\\Filesystem\\Path;/use Joomla\\Filesystem\\Path;/' administrator/components/com_engage/src/Mixin/ViewLoadAnyTemplateTrait.php
sed -i 's/use Joomla\\CMS\\Filesystem\\File;/use Joomla\\Filesystem\\File;/' administrator/components/com_engage/src/Model/UpdatesModel.php
sed -i 's/use Joomla\\CMS\\Filesystem\\File;/use Joomla\\Filesystem\\File;/' administrator/components/com_engage/src/Model/UpgradeModel.php
sed -i 's/use Joomla\\CMS\\Filesystem\\Folder;/use Joomla\\Filesystem\\Folder;/' administrator/components/com_engage/src/Model/UpgradeModel.php

What was changed

4 namespace references updated to match Joomla 6's restructured Filesystem package:

File	Old namespace	New namespace
ViewLoadAnyTemplateTrait.php	Joomla\CMS\Filesystem\Path	Joomla\Filesystem\Path
UpdatesModel.php	Joomla\CMS\Filesystem\File	Joomla\Filesystem\File
UpgradeModel.php	Joomla\CMS\Filesystem\File	Joomla\Filesystem\File
UpgradeModel.php	Joomla\CMS\Filesystem\Folder	Joomla\Filesystem\Folder

In Joomla 6, the Joomla\CMS\Filesystem classes were moved to Joomla\Filesystem. Without this fix, the Akeeba Engage admin panel throws an "Unhandled Exception" error.
