    • What happens if you try to download those extensions from our site and install them manually?

    • Joomla 2.5.6
      Kirigami RocketLauncher installed

      Tried to update RokSprocket and RokPad through the built-in Joomla updater. Got this message:


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

      The update disappears from the list, but is not updated when I do a check of the versions.

      As I said in the original post, I am not able to get RT extensions to update. At least, now it is usually possible to just install over the old ones without having to manually upload files or uninstall as before... But it would be so nice to see RT extensions working with automatic updates.

      Admin template: MissionControl.

      I am sure we are not the only ones with this problem, so hopefully we can work together to solve it. In the mean time, I will do a test updating Gantry - I had success updating it on a different site, so maybe it will work on this as well.

    • Gantry updated just fine. So there is a difference between your files and how they update.

    • Igor/Andy,

      Have you had any look finding out what the difference between Gantry and the other extensions are?

      Did a new Gantry update today via the Joomla updater and it worked just fine.

    • Brady,

      Could you try to do an update without using MissionControl as a template? I have tried with and without and I get two different error messages - or so it seems.
      -1 - An error has occurred.
      Copy failed
      Return to Control Panel

      This is what I got without the MissionControl admin template. Again - everything else works fine. I just updated:

      Joomla to 2.5.7 using AdminControl
      AkeebaBackup to the latest version using their built in updater
      JCE to the latest version using their built in updater
      Gantry to the latest version using the Joomla updater
      Norwegian language to the latest version using the Joomla updater

      But anything from RocketTheme (extensions, MissionControl template) gets the errors mentioned above.

      How is it possible that everything (that I use at the moment) except stuff from RocketTheme works? I definitely can not be anything with Joomla or the server as Gantry (and others) are working fine.

      I have tried to compare the XML files from one of the extensions and Gantry, but can not find any big differences. Then again - I am not a coder, so there could be subtle differences I am not seeing.

      Please, RocketTheme, let us know what is happening! We really need to figure out what the problem is!

    • I can also confirm that I was able to update Gantry just fine via the Joomla Updater.

      I changed the admin template back to the Joomla default (Bluestork) and attempted an update on the previously mentioned files with the same result / message...

    • Brady,

      I found something that might be of use. Will try to find the tracker for bugs that RT uses and enter a record there. Maybe a bigger chance that it will be looked into then.
