Sorry, I wanted to change my branch name, which caused the PR to close. I have reopened it, and I won't change the branch name until this PR is reviewed. Sorry for adding a few unnecessary commits.

Hi @mortezahonar - thank you for this PR, potentially great addition to Joomla. You mention:

Install the plugin by copying the localbusiness folder to /plugins/schemaorg/ or install via zip.

I could not find a zip file or a localbusiness folder that you are referring to. Could you please provide that attachment and update the TESTING INSTRUCTIONS? thank you so much.

[mortezahonar]

Thanks, Emmanuel. Yes, unfortunately the file hasn't been uploaded.
I'll put the download link but please let me know if the link is accessible to you or not.

Are the mysql/base.sql and postgresql/base.sql files what you meant?

Testing Instructions

Prerequisite:
Download the latest Joomla 6.2 Nightly Build from developer.joomla.org/nightly-builds.html

---

Step 1: Add Language Files

Download the following two language files from mortezahonar/joomla-cms:

• administrator/language/en-GB/plg_schemaorg_localbusiness.ini
• administrator/language/en-GB/plg_schemaorg_localbusiness.sys.ini

Copy both files to the same path on your Joomla installation:
administrator/language/en-GB/

---

Step 2: Modify Database Installation Files

Edit the following SQL files inside your nightly build package:

• installation/sql/mysql/base.sql
• installation/sql/postgresql/base.sql

Find this section:

(0, 'plg_schemaorg_organization', 'plugin', 'organization', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 6, 0),
(0, 'plg_schemaorg_person', 'plugin', 'person', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 7, 0),
(0, 'plg_schemaorg_recipe', 'plugin', 'recipe', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 8, 0),
(0, 'plg_schemaorg_custom', 'plugin', 'custom', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 9, 0),

Replace with:

(0, 'plg_schemaorg_localbusiness', 'plugin', 'localbusiness', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 6, 0),
(0, 'plg_schemaorg_organization', 'plugin', 'organization', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 7, 0),
(0, 'plg_schemaorg_person', 'plugin', 'person', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 8, 0),
(0, 'plg_schemaorg_recipe', 'plugin', 'recipe', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 9, 0),
(0, 'plg_schemaorg_custom', 'plugin', 'custom', 'schemaorg', 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, '', '{}', '', 10, 0),

---

Step 3: Add the Plugin

Download the localbusiness plugin folder from mortezahonar/joomla-cms/plugins/schemaorg/localbusiness and place it here:

plugins/schemaorg/localbusiness

The folder should contain:

plugins/schemaorg/localbusiness/
├── localbusiness.xml
├── forms/
│   └── schemaorg.xml
├── services/
│   └── provider.php
└── src/
    └── Extension/
        └── Localbusiness.php

---

Step 4: Install Joomla

Install Joomla using your modified nightly build package.

---

Step 5: Test the Plugin

1. After installation, go to Extensions → Plugins
2. Find Schema.org - Localbusiness and make sure it is enabled
3. Go to System → Clear Cache
4. Create or edit an article
5. Go to the "Schema" tab
6. Select "LocalBusiness" from the schema type dropdown
7. Fill in the fields (Name, Address, Telephone, etc.)
8. Save the article
9. View the article on the frontend
10. Check the page source (Ctrl+U) for <script type="application/ld+json"> with @type: "LocalBusiness"

---

Expected Result

The LocalBusiness schema type appears in the dropdown, form fields are displayed, data is saved to the database and appears as JSON-LD in the frontend with @type: "LocalBusiness".

Note: I apologize for not being able to upload the files directly to GitHub at this time due to internet restrictions. I will upload them as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

We understand the internet restrictions you are facing at this time and hope they will be over soon.
