We remove the import and export feature from Joomla 4+ but not from Joomla 3

This causes some error/warring/notices... and while it is not effecting JCB on Joomla 3, it effect all other versions. We are planning to add a far more superior import export feature to Joomla 4+ in the next few weeks.

The /var/www/html/libraries/phpspreadsheet was used in export and import in Joomla 3.

You should actually be able to ignore this specific error when targeting Joomla 4+

Should you still like to target Joomla 3, then please run JCB 3 in Joomla 3, this remains the best choice for Joomla 3.

What I did in the latest alpha3 is remove the error message when targeting Joomla 4+ in Joomla 4+

Side note

I have been working on the front-end of Joomla 4 & 5 and we found many bugs that we fixed in the latest alpha3 releases of JCB. It is currently more stable than the last stable releases... ironically.

This means I am trying to push out the next stable releases as quick as possible...

Since this report was opened, we have made significant improvements to JCB and its compiler.
The original PhpSpreadsheet folder-path warning was related to legacy import/export functionality. This dependency is no longer automatically included when compiling components for Joomla 4, 5, and 6, resolving the reported issue.

We have also made substantial improvements to OctoJoom and its Bash-based deployment engine. We recommend updating both JCB and OctoJoom to their latest versions to benefit from these changes.

Regarding the missing dashboard icons, the dashboard generation system has also evolved considerably. If you encounter a similar problem with a current release, please feel free to open a new issue with updated details so we can investigate it independently.

As the original folder-path problem has been addressed, we will be closing this issue as resolved.
