Hi,

I just upgraded to Joomla 1.5.26 and Multi-site 1.2.90. I had Sourcer from nonumber.nl installed on the master site. There is a new version 3.x. In order to install version 3 you have to uninstall version 2. I uninstalled the version 2 on the master site and installed version 3. On the slave site I uninstalled version 2 and tried to install version 3. But I get the message:

This extension is not found in the master site.
Please install it first in the master site before installing it into the slave site
Install Component Error

The extension shows in the Plugin list on the master site.

How do I install the new sourcer version on the slave sites?

Thank you.

The problem of NoNumber is that they are using a special "temporary" component to perform the installation. Therefore, when you try installing the extension in the slave site, JMS try to find if the extension is present and of course, it is not present as this is a temporary extension that is used to install the real component.

When the extension is defined in the JMS Tool menu, you can try using the JMS Tool menu to perform the installation in the slave site.

There is also an experimental solution that consists in setting a parameter in the JMS configuration file to allow ignoring the verification during the install.

The flag is
define( 'MULTISITES_IGNORE_MANIFEST_VERSION', true)

You can see multisites.cfg.php file and if you are not sure of the syntax, see the distribution one multisites.cfg-dist.php

located in the /administrator/components/com_multisites

Once the flag is enabled, the verification is ignored.
We suggest that you remove the flag once the upgrade of the NoNumber extension is performed.

Remark: This flag also has for objective to keep the original manifest file of the extension. In other words, when you start upgrading an extension in a slave site before the master, this always restore the "old" manifest (xml) file. So that you can let the extension perform all the DB upgrade modification in all the slave site before the master.
