Joomla 2.5.8

I Cannot Update Certain Extensions Using Extension Manager: Update

These extensions, when updated, come back with an error.
JA Contenslider Module for Joomla 2.5 2.5.7
JA Facebook Like Box Module for Joomla 2.5 2.5.3
JA Masshead module 2.5.3
JA SideNews Module for Joomla 2.5 2.5.6
JA Slideshow Lite Module 1.1.1

Error:
Unknown Archive type
Update path does not exist
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
Unable to detect manifest file

Also, WHY are the VERSION NUMBERS on these updates so very different than the versions we can download in the Extensions Download area on the Joomlart website?

Hi,
With your first problem, please send PM your admin account and your FTP account for further check.
<blockquote> WHY are the VERSION NUMBERS on these updates so very different than the versions we can download in the Extensions Download area on the Joomlart website? </blockquote>
Yes, version numbers of these Extensions is based on what is latest version of it, the version of extension coming with the template and not yet export to the JAEC.
We’re working on it to make them synchronize together.

Hi,

I am experiencing the same problem with updating some extensions (6 of them);

Joomla 2.5.8 is up to date.

JA Facebook activity module 2.5.2
JA Facebook Like Box module 2.5.4
JA Masshead module 2.5.4
JA Slidenews module 2.5.8
JA Slidenews lite module 1.1.2
JA T3v2 System plugin 2.5.7

When I try the update, I get the error message below;

Unknown Archive type
Update path does not exist
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file
Unable to detect manifest file

Please advise.

Thanks for your time.

Hello Jodegbami,

Please make sure that you upgrade JA Extensions on your site via JA Extension Manager.

Here is link userguide for JA Extension Manager (use for both Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 2.5) : http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_Extensions_Manager/How-to#Checking_external_repository

Thanks Luna Garden,

Not as straight forward as I hoped, but got it to work eventually.

Thanks for your time.

OK, I successfully updated all the JA extensions through the JA extension manager.

BUT, why then does the Joomla Updater keep on telling me that I need to update all the JA extensions?
I clear the updater cache but each time I log in it is asking me to update them.

See screenshot.

Hello Masnz,

You need to refresh on Extension List.

Go to Back-end >> Extension Manager >> click to tab Manager >> Filter to JA Extension >> click Refresh. See: http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/744/8101384398.png

Then Go to tab Update >> Click Purge Cache. See: http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/744/3854379025.png

All update messages won’t show again.

I followed the instructions above. There were 7 updates, now down to 2. However, these 2 are up to date but still being flagged as outdated extensions. Can you help me to update these, or find the solution.

Hi seaghan,

Our JA extensions (template, module, plugin, component) are the commercial products which need to be update via our JAEM component. In you case, you can check the JAEM dashboard for new update notifications.

– Download JAEM at http://www.joomlart.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=20303
– Configure Service update manager: http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_Extensions_Manager/Admin_Panel
– How to use: http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_Extensions_Manager/How-to

Can you follow above documents, then inform me your result ? Have a nice weekend !
