I used JUpdate to update a joomla 1.5.23 site to 2.5
when i tried to re-link the content area to the article i cant find the position from my main content area in the menu anymore.
the left sidebar is still there and also the right one.
Can anyone shine some light on this? i already tried all the positions from the template twice but i cant seem to find it?

I'm not too sure why you used JUpdate to update to 2.5. I personally don't always trust 3rd party extensions to update the CMS as it sometimes causes problems. What you should do is (providing you have a backup of your old 1.6 site):
Upgrade to 1.6.6 by downloading the patch and extracting it via FTP on to the root of your site
IN the Joomla Backend, go to Extensions >> Extension Manager >> Find Updates
If you can't find any updates, then go to Options and select the Long Term Release. Once saved, Purge Cache and try to find updates again.
Update:
change this:
<?php if($this->params->get('showComponent')) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
<?php endif; ?>
to this:
<jdoc:include type="component" />
So basically remove the PHP that is wrapped around
I am building a Joomla package with a component, multiple modules and a plugin.
My question is, where should I place the install.sql and uninstall.sql files, relative to the package root? Right now they are at root/com_mypackage/administrator/sql/install.mysql.utf8.sql and they are defined in the component's manifest as:
<install><!-- Runs on install -->
<sql>
<file driver="mysql" charset="utf8">sql/install.mysql.utf8.sql</file>
</sql>
</install>
However, this doesn't seem right to me. Should I include administrator before the path in the <file> tag?
Of course, the component itself will be packed in its own .zip, to be included in the Package's XML install file.
No there is no need to this tag in administrator tag. you missing some in manifest.xml
for fully doc try:-

<description>Adds eya plugin ot your site</description>
<files>
<filename plugin="eya">eya.php</filename>

<administration >
<filename>admin.php</filename>
</administration>
</extension>
This is my main php file that executes the content:eya.php.
I have got another file (admin.php) that takes 2 session variables from eya.php and put them in an iframe. There are two problems. One is that I dont know if the eya.php runs everytime before admin.php (or at least once to set the session variables). The second problem is that I dont know how to display only the admin.php and nothing else.
to build an admin interface for your plugin just add the config part to your xml
<config>
<fields name="params">
<fieldset name="basic">
<field name="testfield" type="text" default="mytest" label="field_label" description="field_description" />
</fieldset>
</fields>
</config>
but I didn't get the part of your admin.php/eya.php

any idea!
I am doing a joomla 2.5 project
I put this <jdoc:include type="modules" name="izquierdo" style="none"/> and it shows me nothing.
The positions in my template is this:
<positions>
<position>izquierdo</position>
<position>extranet</position>
<position>menuPrincipal</position>
The status of this module is public.
Any ideas, am I miss something?
I found something strange.
if I put my route and at the end add ?tp=1 it shows me all my postions and it shows me my module (I see the image and other thinks), but with the normal router (without ?tp=1) I don't see anything.
This is my xml template:

It seems to be fine your template. But try style="xhtml" on your jdoc statement.
And another guess is please check again the assignment of pages for your module from the backend. Most probably you might select "No pages" for the module assignment.
Thank you.
