Removing MageBridge

When you want to deinstall MageBridge, things are easy in Joomla!, but more complicated in Magento. Here's the procedure to follow.

Removing all Joomla! extensions

Within the Joomla! Administrator you can use the Extension Manager to remove all parts of Joomla!. When removing extensions, make sure you are removing the Joomla! component of MageBridge, as well as all related modules, plugins and templates.

For a manual clean-up, use the following listing:

• components/com_magebridge
• administrator/components/com_magebridge
• modules/mod_magebridge_*
• plugins/*/magebridge.*
• media/com_magebridge

Remove the Magento extension

Removing the Magento extension of MageBridge is done by logging into your MagentoConnect Manager (also called the Magento Downloader) and uninstall the MageBridge-extension listed there.

Note that the MagentoConnect Manager will only detect the original MageBridge Installer and not the full version of MageBridge. Nonetheless, if you remove it, actually the full version is removed.

Alternatively, MageBridge can also be removed from the shell by using the following PEAR-command. This only works if you have access to SSH.

./pear uninstall magento-community/Jira_MageBridge

For a manual clean-up use the following listing:

• magebridge.php
• magebridge.class.php
• app/etc/modules/Jira_MageBridge.xml
• app/code/community/Jira/MageBridge
• app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/magebridge
• skin/adminhtml/default/default/images/magebridge

Legal note

While the Joomla! part of MageBridge is open source and licensed under the GNU/GPL, the Magento part is not: The Magento module is licensed under a special Yireo EULA, which gives paying customers access to view and modify the full source code. Distribution is forbidden by law.

There for if you have never paid for an active license-subscription, you should remove MageBridge in both Joomla! as Magento.
