If after your failed installation you can see JReviews in the components menu in the Joomla administration, you can skip directly to step 3.


1. Find the highest id in the jos_components table and update the numbers 116, 117 and 118 below by using the highest id + 1. If the highest id is 200, you would replace 116 by 201, and so on.


2. Copy the queries below, with your updated numbers and run them in phpMyAdmin. 

INSERT INTO `jos_components` (`id`, `name`, `link`, `menuid`, `parent`, `admin_menu_link`,`admin_menu_alt`, `option`, `ordering`, `admin_menu_img`, `iscore`, `params`, `enabled`) VALUES(116, 'jReviews', 'option=com_jreviews', 0, 0, 'option=com_jreviews', 'jReviews', 'com_jreviews', 0,'js/ThemeOffice/component.png', 0, 'limit_special=10ndirtitle=1n', 1); INSERT INTO`jos_components` (`id`, `name`, `link`, `menuid`, `parent`, `admin_menu_link`, `admin_menu_alt`,`option`, `ordering`, `admin_menu_img`, `iscore`, `params`, `enabled`) VALUES (117, 'Configuration& Management', '', 0, 116, 'option=com_jreviews&act=about', 'Configuration & Management','com_jreviews', 0, 'js/ThemeOffice/component.png', 0, '', 1); INSERT INTO `jos_components` (`id`,`name`, `link`, `menuid`, `parent`, `admin_menu_link`, `admin_menu_alt`, `option`, `ordering`,`admin_menu_img`, `iscore`, `params`, `enabled`) VALUES (118, 'Enter License Information', '', 0,116, 'option=com_jreviews&act=license', 'Enter License Information', 'com_jreviews', 1,'js/ThemeOffice/component.png', 0, '', 1);


3. Create the two JReviews component folders, if not already present, in:

  • /administrator/components/com_jreviews
  • /components/com_jreviews


4. From the JReviews component zip package, extract all files, except jreviews.s2 to the /administrator/components/com_jreviews/ folder


5. Rename jreviews.s2 to jreviews.zip and extract the files/folders to /components/com_jreviews/


6. To finalize the installation, login to the administration and enter the following url:

  • http://yourdomain.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_jreviews&url=install&sql=1
