Joomla six compatibility fixes

[crancino]

Hi!
I took the liberty of creating a small set of fixes, with the help of an AI tool, to make ffexplorer fully compatible with Joomla 6 and PHP 8.2+ (strict types, updated deprecated calls, etc.) while remaining - hopefully - 100% backward compatible with J4/J5.

Detailed changelog included. Ready to merge or adjust as you prefer — let me know what you think!
You can see everything here: https://github.com/crancino/ffexplorer
Thank you for the great extension!

I reviewed the AI’s changes and found several fundamental misunderstandings in the code. I don’t recommend using this version. If you encounter any issues on Joomla 6 or PHP 8.2, let me know.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll go over your comments on my code and make corrections based on that.
In any case, are you interested in making the extension compatible for joomla 6?

Do you have any issue with Joomla 6? Please give me some details, so I can take a look.

At first glance, I didn't notice any problems, but I need to do more in-depth tests.. In the next few days I'll proceed with the corrections you suggested first and then I'll do some testing. I'll keep you posted.

Your comments suggest that you believe FF Explorer may be compatible with J6. However, in issue #24, I gathered that there are compatibility issues to address. Could you please clarify? We are open to testing, but a response would be appreciated. Thank you!

@nickdring I did some tests and didn't see any issue with joomla 6. Do you have any issue with Joomla 6?

[nickdring]

To be honest, I haven't tried. But I will be updating about 100 sites running with FF Explorer so obviously if FF E needs the compatibility layer of Joomla 5 that will be an issue as it has to be unpublished before updating.
I haven't tried also because of the comments in #24. It seemed to me that changes would need to be made to make it run natively in Joomla 6.

@nickdring Sorry for the missing info in #24 — I forgot to update you.

So far, I haven’t seen any issues with FFExplorer on Joomla 6. You should be able to upgrade your site without any concerns, as FFExplorer only runs when accessed through its menu.

It seems to be running on J6. However, it would be nice if Vue is updated
