JCB for Joomla! 5: Slow Saving and Demo Component Installation Issues

[GiuseppeBosco]

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing some issues with JCB for Joomla! 5 and would appreciate any help or advice.

First, I've noticed that saving changes in the JCB options is incredibly slow. I'm working on a local development environment using LARGON with Apache 2.4.6.2, MySQL 8.4.3, and PHP 8.3.14. Could this be related to my local setup, or are there specific JCB parameters I should adjust? My memory limit is 1GB, and both the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are set to 2GB.

I've also enabled Joomla's debug mode, but I'm not seeing any unusual messages.

Additionally, I'm unable to install the demo component and the privacy plugin. When trying to install the demo component, I get the following error in debug mode:

Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\Error\FatalError {#956 ▼
-error: array:4 [▼
"type" => 64
"message" => "Cannot use Joomla\CMS\Factory as Factory because the name is already in use"
"file" => "C:\laragon\www\joomla5\tmp\install_679fe2214db99\DemoInstallerScript.php"
"line" => 24
]
}
Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!"

Additional Tips:

Be specific: When asking for help, provide as much detail as possible about your setup, the steps you've taken, and any error messages you've encountered.
Use clear formatting: Use headings, bullet points, and code blocks to make your post easy to read and understand.
Be patient: People on forums are usually willing to help, but it might take some time to get a response.
Let me know if you need further assistance!

It looks like you're experiencing two separate issues:

1. Slow saving in JCB options – This could be related to your local setup. Try increasing PHP’s max_execution_time and memory_limit in php.ini. Also, check if Xdebug is enabled, as it can slow down performance.

2. "Cannot use Joomla\CMS\Factory as Factory" error – This suggests a naming conflict in DemoInstallerScript.php. You might have multiple use Joomla\CMS\Factory; statements or a class named Factory conflicting with Joomla’s Factory class.
