What is ionCube? How to install

Our extensions are encoded by ionCube and not open source. But template files are not encoded and you can modify the layout. Each purchase means a life time license for one domain and there is no problem in using the extension.

ionCube loader is the PHP extension that decodes encrypted PHP files at runtime. Most commercial hosting companies have ionCube loader installed already.

How can I check if ionCube is installed?

Method 1:

To check if ionCube is installed properly, login to your Joomla admin area and go to Menu->System Info->PHP Information. In the 3rd block of information, you will see information similar to the following:

 

ioncube check

 

This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine: Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.1.32, Copyright (c) 2002-2007, by ionCube Ltd.

If you see the information stating that ionCube is installed, then this means that ionCube has been properly installed.

Method 2:

Download this package and simply install it on your site. Then browse

http:///index.php?option=com_testioncube

If you see a success message, it means your site already has ioncube and you can simply install and use our extensions without any problem.

 

If ionCube is not installed on your server:

You need to contact your server´s administrator or Hosting Company if that is not already installed at your server. Loader is free and installation is easy.

If you want to do it yourself, you can download it, and read the Installation Instructions.
