I developed a module that can be updated in Joomla 2.5 Extension Manager.
I can't find information anywhere that indicates that something needs to be different in order to work properly in Joomla 3.0
I don't intend to advertise this module by providing the link to it, I'm just trying to find help to fix this problem.
Here is the page where you can download it:
http://code.google.com/p/mod-random-article/downloads/list
If you install v1.1 on Joomla 2.5, the Extension Manager will find the new update v1.2.
If you install it on Joomla 3.0, the Extension Manager won't find the new version.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I found the solution for my problem.
This looks so easy.. I don't know how I couldn't find this earlier.
I had to add another tag to the manifest file on the update server targeting Joomla 3.0, like this:
<updates>
...
<update>
...
<targetplatform name="joomla" version="3.0"/>
...
</update>
</updates>
I had renamed everything to the respective plugin name but still joomla wasn't finding the new copied and modified plugin that I had created.
Finally I found out that the plugin attribute of the XML object, needs to be the same name that of the plugin. So lets say that the new plugin name is xxyyzz, As shown below with the other respective changes, the plugin attribute should also be updated.
<files>
<filename plugin="xxyyzz">xxyyzz.php</filename>
</files>

I've developed an extension(component + plugin) that is compatible with both joomla versions 2.5 and 3.0.
Now, my question is how to declare the version attribute in extension tag in manifest file, since same extension will be used for joomla 2.5 and 3.0 installs. Or does it not matter?
<extension version="2.5" ... ></extension>
<extension version="3.0" ... ></extension>
Although during install, it doesn't create any problem, as I've tried setting it to 2.5 for joomla 3.0 also
Thanx in advance...
Ok, so not having received even a single response in so much time, I checked the versions mentioned in other commercially successfdully extensions from joomla site those were supporting both the joomla versions, and found out that they were mentioning 2.5.
Hence, im going by the same...
I am new to Joomla (a seasoned WP dev) and I have just barely managed to wrap my head around the components and the plugins.
The thing is, that I want to include a shared component (a class), that should be callable from both the component and the plugin.
Any ideas? A library maybe? Can I bundle a library in a Joomla installer Package in this case?
If you create a lib_yourlib.xml file in the root directory and specify :
<extension type="library">
<files folder="yourlib">
it should be installable like any package, and it will be copied in libraries/yourlib after installation.
I am very frustrated.
I did not get any of document regarding how to make single zip file for Each version of Joomla.
I want to keep my component in single zip file which install on any joomla version that is 1.5,2.5 and 3.0 as well.
Please help
Thx..
You should avoid packages for all versions. But if you really want to have a single package, you kind find more informations on Joomla! Documentation.
I've upgrade my joomla version 1.5.26 to joomla version 2.5.4 and all the things has been upgraded successfully. So when i goes into my joomla module manager admin panel then it is not showing me any kinds of modules which was previously visible in my old version(1.5.26) but in my frontend panel it can be seen easily.Does anyone knows the solution how to fix it?
When you said you migrated, I assume you used an extension such as jUpgrade.
Migrating will update the core file and database tables and thus should show all the core Joomla modules in the Module Manager, however it does not upgrade your 3rd party extensions, therefore you will need to download the Joomla 2.5 compatible versions. This upgrade however, should be showing your core modules in the list.
I hope you took a backup of your 1.5 site. If you did, trying running the upgrade again and if you didn't use jUpgrade, I suggest you do so.
Hope this helps
make sure you're using the standard template for joomla. Go to module manager, choose Administrator in the first filter, and see if all modules are published in actual module positions (i.e. cpanel, status, footer, icon, login, menu, submenu, toolbar I guess that's it for administrator)
Unfortunately I see this error when I come back to an old Joomla 1.5 site.
JHTMLlist not supported. File not found.
Any solution for this problem?
Note that it is not updated. It is 1.5.23
Is that a host related issue?
I think that when you last updated your website, it must have missed that file.
First of all, download the Joomla 1.5.0 - 1.5.26 patch, upload to the root folder for you Joomla site, and extract. This might solve the problem, but if not then proceed by downloading the full Joomla 1.5.26 package, extract the "libraries" folder, then zip it up, upload to the root of your Joomla site in the FTP, and extract.
Check that the file ROOT/libraries/joomla/html/html/list.php exists. If it does not then you need to upload one from the 1.5.23 package. If that does not fix your problem your best bet is to upgrade the site to the latest version of Joomla and see if that fixes the problem.
If you upgrade the site it should be automatically added - but I'm guessing by your post that for whatever reason you want to stick on 1.5.23 (N.B. All versions before 1.5.26 have a password security flaw that was fixed in 1.5.26).
