I tried to uninstall the old version (0.3.0.) and even to DROP table jos_contenttemplater but got the same error every time!

Can you help me? 0.3.0 worked perfect!

The line that does that is to fix the Content Templater table from version 0.1.0.
So it is not necessary.
In the tests I ran, the query just got ignored if it couldn't get executed. I'm not sure why your setup does return the error. What Joomla version are you running?

Please install the extension manually (see the INSTALL.txt in the package zip).

Joomla 1.5.9 (current)

I managed to install using a little bit workaround...
I created manually TEXT field in table contenttemplater... so the setup ran smoothly

I forgot to say thanks!

Keep up the good work.

oh... problems again!


A newer version is available. Download version 0.3.1

The package will automatically update your version.
(This message will only be displayed to (Super) Administrators.)

WTF?! I'm sure I had 0.3.1 listed in components install/uninstall module..

Now it's giving me option to upgrade again?!?!

Strange... I downloaded again the 0.3.1 package and installed without removing the old version...

And it was OK!
Result:

Content Templater Enabled 0.3.1 February 2009 NoNumber! (Peter van Westen)

That would suppose to mean I'm running the current version at last?

With your first install, something went wrong, so your files did not get updated (completely).
The second install did not run into the database error so it updated all files.

The version check is done by simply looking at a small text file with the version number.
So even if all files are up to date except that little file, you will get the update message.

Content Templater (and the installation procedure) are still in beta, so you can expect updates coming along quite frequently.
If you want to be informed about updates and what has actually changed, you can subscripe to my News RSS.

OK, thanks!
I just hope that even it is in beta stage, next upgrade won't do such a mess cuz' I'm right now creating main template look with Content templater and the content is about to be published... 50+ articles with the same layout created by your extension..

I'm informed about updates every time I visit CT component as an super admin So no prob... but thanks anyway!

Groeten!

New version upgrade...

different server, completely different J 1.5.9. installation, only problem stays the same:

So I better stick to an old version?

Hmmm, you are the second person complaining about that error.

It doesn't happen on any of my setups. That query (as you can see) is done through the joomla core datbase functions, which should just ignore queries that cannot be done.

Anyway, the query that gives the error is not needed anyway, it is to fix some stuff from version 0.1.0. I can assume noo-ne is using that version anymore, so I'll take it out.

Version 0.3.3 coming in a few minutes

Ok, 0.3.3 is available.

Just to note, these are minor updates (x.x.?), so you don't need to update if the changes are not interesting for you.

If I change something that is fundamentally different, it will be a x.?.x version change.

If I change it so much that the way it works (for the user) changes, then it will be a ?.x.x version change. (Or when going to stable.)

Hello Peter,
I managed to find out what was causing the problem during install/upgrade..

I deleted all content templater items (I need to make new one anyway) so the upgrade to 0.3.3. was completely OK!



* Content Templater (component & editor button) has been updated successfully





I hope this would help you to deal with this bug, I'm sure anyone who got one item in CT would get the same error... all he/she need to do is to delete all items and to go to upgrade process.
It's not good solution if you are on a production environment and your Content template is 100% done, it would be good to have an option to backup... or to deal with this bug.

Cheers

Well, the update should work fine even if you have items.

The upgrade is pretty useless if you have to delete the templates first.

If you run the update (0.3.3) again with items, do you run into errors again?

You mean I should run again update, I have version 0.3.3 version already?


I can try - I'll create one test item, and then run update again...

let's see what happens.

OHHH...

I can't do that!!!

Can't add NEW Item!!

JDatabaseMySQL::query: 1146 - Table 'mysitename_com.jos_js_res_category' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT id, parent, name FROM jos_js_res_category WHERE published = 1

So you do have the JoomSource files in your setup, but you don't have the database!
I'll build in another check to prevent this error...

Sorry, It's my fault... I have a few lines commented out

Will fix now...

I'm glad this situation helped you... to kill that bug!

Please let me know what should I do next, I deleted again Jos_conetentemplater table from my database... I'm gonna start all over again when you come out with a new version... hope it will be soon.

Should be fixed in version 0.3.4. Now available:
http://www.nonumber.nl/contenttemplater/download

It works!!!
I tested on my other server / joomla installation and 2 content items from the templater was left and after upgrade they're still there and I can go to NEW button and add new ones!

I think you did it, the bug is dead!!!

Thanks a lot Peter!!

P.S. I'd like to donate (pro version), but in my country Paypal is N/A (grrrr), so I'm using Moneybookers without any problems so if you have an account please send it on my private message...
